Chris Hansen, David Died Last Saturday

Christine Hansen was born on May 23, 1858, in Langeland, Denmark, and died at his home in David, June 4, 1932, at the age of 74 years and 11 days.

He grew to manhood in Denmark and served his country in the navy. He emigrated to this country alone, coming to Carpenter, Iowa, where he worked as a farm hand until he married and began farming for himself at Mitchell and later near Little Cedar.

He leaves a wife, a daughter, Mrs. Hannah Cox, of Fenton, Illinois, and seven grandchildren; one brother, Albert Hansen, Towner, North Dakota; and four sisters in the old home in Denmark, besides a host of friends and neighbors to mourn his loss.
