NOTES:

Ann Sophia (Hansen) Mortensen
Born October 19, 1873
Died October 20, 1958

The Minnesota Death Index has her that way.
She married Jens Peter Mortensen -- also buried Pleasant Hill -- his Minnesota death records also has the "Mortensen" spelling

There's tombstones posted on both of their memorials.
