SOREN HANSON PASSES IN CAPITOL Local Woman taken to hospital is unable to make recovery. "In the midst of life we are in death." The truth of this is plainly brought to our attention by the passing away in a Boise hospital Tuesday afternoon of Mrs. Soren Hanson, who to most eyes appeared to be a woman of unusual strength and vitality and destined apparently to live to a very ripe old age. But Mrs. Hanson had never been very well, it is understood, since a siege of flue which she underwent in 1918, and which left her, as it left so many with disastrous after effects. Heart weakness was complicated with these and other matters according to the doctors, until the combination grew too strong for even the strongest of humans to combat successfully. After treatment by local medices, Mrs. Hanson was taken to Boise last Saturday. Wednesday afternoon a phone message was received here, however, stating that Mrs. Hanson had passed away. The children had ben called to Boise a couple of days earlier, so that the entire family surrounded the bedside of the stricken woman when the end came. Dora D. Lakey was born in Grant Co, Oregon, on June 4, 1880, and was a daughter of Mrs. Sarah Lakey, who was a widow when the family came to Idaho in the fall of 1898. Dora Lakey was married to Soren Hanson on January 10, 1908. She died at Boise, Idaho on the afternoon of March 31, 1925 at the age of 44 years, 9 months, and 27 days. There are surviving besides the husband, two little daughters; Hazel, 15 and Nina aged 11 years. There are also two brothers, Andrew and Jacob Lakey. Funeral services were held at the I.O.O.F. hall yesterday morning with Rev. Thomas Gordon officiating, and later Rebekah services were conducted at the grave, with burial in the I.O.O.F. cemetery south of town at 10:30 a.m., both of the Hansons having been for years active Oddfellow and Rebekah members.
