Her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Robert H. Johnson, both died in this city about six years ago. Mrs. Hansen was born at St. Petersburg, Pa, Sept. 29, 1875, and with her parents also resided at Mayville, coming to Jamestown 16 or 18 years ago and making her home here ever since that time. She was united in marriage to Mr. Hansen Aug 17, 1904. During the past year or so her health gradually failed and at noon Thursday she became unconscious, remaining in this state until death finally came early this morning. Her condition was not considered critical up to Wednesday and the announcement of her death comes as a great shock, not only to the surviving relatives, but to the great body of friends throughout the city. The funeral will be held from the home Sunday afternoon, the hour to be decided upon later. (Jamestown Evening Journal, Friday, January 21, 1910, page 12.) _ _ _ _ _ _ _ The funeral of Mrs. Herman M.
