Dunlap Reporter
Laura Augusta HANSEN, daughter of Ingvert and Kate HANSEN, was born in Shelby 
County, Iowa, August 1, 1865, and was called from this life at her home, only 
a few miles from her birthplace, January 15, 1943, at the age of 77 years, 5 
months and 14 days. She was married to Mindred Wilson KEAIRNES on February 22, 
1882, and to this union four children were born, all of whom survive her; Mrs. 
J. W. Dougal of Dunlap, Clyde of Chicago, Bertha at home, and Wesley at 
Clarksville, Iowa. She leaves also seven grandchildren and twelve great-
grandchildren, three brothers, William of Council Bluffs, James E. of Dunlap, 
George of Highmore, S.D., and four sisters, Mrs. Emma Jones and Mrs. Chas. 
Kennedy of Logan, Mrs. Carrie Iles of Narka, Kansas, and Mrs. Ira Wilson of 
Pittsburg, Kansas.
Born of pioneer parents, who came to Gallands Grove in the early 1860s, she 
early in life learned the meaning of suffering, want, privation, and 
sacrifice, all of which contributed toward the feelings she maintained for 
others throughout her long life. Her entire life was spent in this vicinity 
with the exception of one year, after her marriage, near Defiance, and six 
months residence in Dunlap. 
After the death of her companion eight years ago, she remained at her home a 
few miles east of Dunlap with her daughter Bertha, who gave her the best of 
cheerful, devoted care during the last years of her life.
She was a faithful member of the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter 
Day Saints, being baptized when a child, and belonging to the Gallands Grove 
branch for many years.
Elder Carl Self of Omaha will deliver the funeral sermon with Interment in the 
Manteno Cemetery.
