Annie "Angie" Angelina Hanson

Mrs. Guy Hanson Dies Friday, Long Resident Here

Mrs. Guy Hanson, 63, died Friday evening at the West Nebraska General Hospital at Scottsbluff after an illness of several months.

Funeral services were held at the Methodist Memorial Church in Harrison with the Rev. H. C. Johnson of Crawford officiating. Mrs. Marcella Fitch sang "The Old Rugged Cross" and "I Will Not Have to Cross Jordan Alone." Mrs. M. H. Koch was organist. Pallbearers were Otto York, Russell From, Ted Tipton, Charlie Umphenour, Pat Holmgren, and Frank Modlin. Burial was in the Harrison Cemetery.

Annie Angelina Hanson was born at Plum Creek, Wyo., September 28, 1897, the daughter of John and Annie Grimes Lohr. They moved to Pleasant Ridge Community in 1899 where she attended rural school. At the age of 15 with the death of her mother, she assumed the household responsibilities for her father and nine brothers and sisters until the remarriage of her father to Dora Sporleder.

After she was relieved of these duties, she clerked in grocery and dry goods stores at Keeline, Van Tassell, and Harrison, in the later town for Martin and Luther Koch, Ted Phillips and O'Connor and Satterlee. Desiring to teach she attended a summer session at Chadron Normal and in the fall secured a position as teacher in the Hamaker School south of Andrews.

In the spring, on June 4, 1921 at Chadron she was married to Guy W. Hanson of Harrison and to them six children were born, five of whom are still living. One died in childhood.

The family made their home on a ranch ten miles northwest of Harrison until 1943 when they moved to Harrison where they have lived since.

She was a member of the Methodist Memorial Church. That she had given much of her life to others was indicated by the concern of others during her illness and the crowd that filled the church to capacity at the services Monday.

Surviving in addition to her husband are five children: Mrs. Caroline Pyle, Martin, S. Dak., Ralph E. Hanson, Lusk, Robert L. Hanson, Madison, Tenn., Herbert D. Hanson, Harrison, and Mrs. Wilma Geiser, Ardmore; four brothers, Ted and Harlan Lohr of Lusk, Roy (Buster) of New Iberia, La.; and Robert of Dallas, Tex.; three sisters, Mrs. Dolly Jones, Nampa, Ia., Mrs. Iris Erlewine, and Mrs. Verda Erlewine of Lusk, and a half-sister, Mrs. Doris Lohr of Salt Lake City, a half brother, Sam Lohr of Jeffrey City, Wyo.; two step-sisters, Mrs. Mary Peterman of Brule, Nebr., and Mrs. Dorothy Frances of Big Springs, Nebr.; and a step-brother, Clarence Sporleder of Idaho; and 10 grandchildren.
