Thero was a very large attendance, the Sixth ward having hav-ing been Mr. Hansen's home for many years, ,untll ho moved Into tho Seventh ward a year or two ago. The Seventh ward bishopric presided at' the service ser-vice and the choirs of both wards sang conolntly August Hansen sang a solo and Messrs. Helmar Peterson, Frank Baugh, Wlllard Skanchy and John Peterson rendered a quartette. The speakers at the service were T. A. Thorcson, Fred Turner, George Dunbar, Bishop Anthon Anderson, Bishop A. L. Skanchy, Pres. Isaac Smith and Bishop O. J. Larsen. The speakers confined themselves largely to their personal experiences with the deceased during life, and the tribute toBro. Hansen's genuine goodness of heart, breadth of mind, sterling character char-acter and splendid worth could not well have been more earnest or more glowing. Each had known him under various circumstances and in different ways, and each had known naught but good of this man. He was one of those quiet, unassuming men, active in doing rather than talking; a man would rather be injured than to impose im-pose on or misjudge another. He lived a good life and left behind him none but friends. A further testimonial, to the honor and esteem in which Bro. Hansen was held came in the many floral tributes and in the long cortege that followed the remains to the cemetery. Brief Life History. H. A.
