SOREN HANSON SUCCUMBS AFTER LONG SIEGE OF SUFFERING FOLLOWING DISTRESSING 
INJURY
 
Soren Hanson, one of the most widely known men of the Weiser river territory 
who suffered an accident two years ago while at work for the Council Meat 
Market, having both legs terribly crushed and who has suffered terrible agony 
for more than two years while struggling to  overcome the injury finally 
succumbed - his debilitated physical condition.  His death came while he was 
being cared for at the come of Mrs. John Kesler, Thursday night November 3, 
1932.  He had been able to be around town , on  crutches for more that a year 
but was gradually failing.  His former strong constitution had to give way to 
the inevitable ravage of suffering that followed his injury.
  
Obituary
Soren Hanson was born in Denmark June 4, 1871.  With his parents he came to 
Utah in 1881 and two years later they moved to Idaho locating in the Hornet 
Creek valley where he spent his young manhood.  In 1902 he was married to Miss 
Dora Lakey and to the union two daughters were born:  Hazel, now Mrs. Elwyn 
Mathews, and Nina who is a student in Council high school.  The wife and 
mother died in Boise March 31, 1925.

Funeral service was conducted at the Congregational Church by Rev. Harry W. 
Johnson, pastor-at-large.  A large number of people attended the service, 
representing the old time friends and neighbors as well as the later 
generation.  Soren Hanson was an indulgent father, kind, generous neighbor and 
friend - even too generous for his own welfare.  The history of the Weiser 
river territory could not be written complete without liberal space being 
given to the labor, sacrifices, and neighborly deeds of Soren Hanson.
 
Cards of Thanks

the kindness and help given us during our sorrow because of the death of our 
beloved father Soren Hanson.
