CLAUS HANNO

Claus Hanno died in his home in Henry township Thursday evening, June 6, about 8 o'clock. Deceased was born 52 years ago in Dithmarschen, Holstein, Germany, and came to this country 32 years ago. Symptoms of consumption began to show on him six years ago, and in the last year his health went down fast. Only recently he visited the healer Kruger in Epiphany, S.D., though himself and friends had but little hope for his recovery. He leaves a wife and eleven children in comfortable circumstances. The funeral will probably not take place until Sunday, as relatives from various distant points are expected to arrive.
