Mrs. Chris Hansen died quite suddenly of pneumonia at the family home in this city last Saturday noon, having been sick just a week. She had been bothered with heart trouble before, so was ill prepared for such a disease as pneumonia. The funeral service was held at the Catholic church at 10 o’clock Monday morning, Father Byersdorfer officiating. Deceased was born in Wisconsin in March, 1853, and was therefore almost 69 years of age. She was married to Mr. Hansen in Omaha twenty seven years ago, and they have made their home in this city for the past fifteen years. Besides her husband, she leaves two daughters by her former husband, Mrs. R. B. Folda of Colfax county who was present for the funeral service and Mrs. Katie Hightower who lives in California.
