Frederick Hansen (Obituary #1)
"Oldest “Herald” Correspondent Passes"
Elder Frederick Hansen, aged eighty-seven years and the oldest Herald new correspondent, passed away at his home in Persia, Iowa, February 16. A member of the church for almost seventy years, he has functioned as an elder since 1867.

For three years he labored as a missionary in England. For the past forty-five years he has been active in church work in the vicinity of his home, acting for some time as pastor at Persia and Salem Branch at Leland Grove.

He was born in Denmark and came with his parents to the United States in 1857, and his early years were crowded with the picturesque experiences characteristic of pioneer life in the church and nation. A man of honor and integrity, he will be missed by the community he served so well.

For a number of years, Brother Hansen was a faithful news reporter for the Herald, submitting at intervals, accounts of the church happenings at Persia. The editors depended on him, and in his writings, as in all other things, he did not fail those who depended on him.
