Mrs. Saloman Hanson, 47 years old, died Saturday, April 14, at the Lutheran Hospital at La Crosse, following an operation for tumor and cancer. She had been ill for about three months.

Born as Bertha Olson Ringa, April 13, 1887, she had observed her 47th birthday only a day before her death. She was the daughter of Jacob and Anna Ringa and was born in Humboldt county in Iowa. She had been a resident of Winneshiek county for many years.

Mrs. Hanson was married March 25, 1911, in Glenwood township by Rev. Scarvie. She is survived by nine children, ranging from 5 to 22 years: Anna, Helmer, Norman, Sylvvan, Nellie, Lloyd, Melvin, Albert and Marie. She is also survived by three brothers and three sisters.

Funeral services are being held this afternoon from the farm home in Hesper township and at the Hauge Lutheran church, Rev. Carl Losen officiating. Burial will be in the nearby cemetery.

Tribune Paid Mrs. Hanson
(Canoe Correspondence)

This community was very much grieved to hear of the death of Mrs. Sam Hanson.
She had a nature we could not help loving, A heart that was pure as gold.
And to those who knew her and loved her.
Her memory will never grow cold.
She did not fail to do her best:
her heart was true and tender.
She worked hard for those she left and ever will be remembered.
The Sweetest memories are all we have left of our dear Friend who has gone to rest. (Friends)
