Maud Hanson was born in Denmark, October 8, 1880 and came to America with her parents in the spring of 1884 living in Lee county, Illinois for four years. In 1888 the family moved to Iowa settling in the vicinity of Union and has lived in this vicinity ever since.

October 11, 1899 she was united in marriage to Fred R. Vinton and this town has since been her home. Three children were born of this union, Cecil, Ode, Lucile.
