Mrs. Ella Wallin Hanson, daughter of Solomon T. and Julia Wood was born at Sherman, Sangamon county, Illinois, on April 14, 1874, and passed away at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Perry Freeman, 404 Summer avenue, Albert Lea, Minn., at 12:05 o'clock Friday morning, April 28, 1946, at the age of 72 years and 12 days. Her death closely followed that of her son Novio Wallin, who passed away April 18. Mrs. Hanson was one of a family of ten children and as a young girl moved with her parents to Iowa. She was united in marriage to Frank Wallin of Woolstock, Iowa, at the home of her parents, then residing at Chula, Missouri, on February 28, 1894. To this union four children were born; Rea, Novio, Elvin and Velda.

After their marriage, they resided on a farm near Woolstock, Ia., moving from there to a farm near Chula, Missouri. Later returning to Iowa, they lived in Woolstock, Webster City, Eagle Grove and later Clarion.

He passed away at the Naeve hospital, Albert Lea, Minn., February 11, 1918.

Mrs. Wallin and her two younger children carried on with the farming for a time and then moved to Albert Lea, where she obtained work and a goodly number were nursed back to health through her tender and loving care. She was married to H. F. Hanson of South Madison avenue, Albert Lea, on August 19, 1923. Mr Hanson passed away in 1929 and since then she has lived in Glenville and Albert Lea.
