ELMER L. HANSEN
BURIED THURSDAY

Funeral services for Elmer L. Hansen, 47, of Houghton, S.D., who died unexpectedly there in his home Jan. 6, were held Thursday last week at the Merrill Methodist church. The Rev. W.C. Smith conducted the rites, and burial was in the Merrill cemetery, with the Mauer funeral home in charge.

Mr. Hansen was born Aug. 24, 1903, in Washington township, the son of Christ and Eva Woodruff Hansen. He moved to Houghton in 1920. He worked as a farmer as long as his health permitted, but developed heart trouble three years ago, forcing him to curtail his activity.

He is survived by his mother, two brothers and two sisters.
