DIES AS BODY OF DEAD BROTHER IS LAID TO REST
Miss Amelia Hanson Gets Summons as Funeral Near
Grief over the death of her brother, coupled with the excitement of attending
a funeral which she herself was too ill to attend, proved too much of a strain
upon a system whose vitality had been snapped by an insidious disease today and
Miss Amelia Hanson, Huron street, succumbed to a fatal attack shortly after
noon. Miss Hanson’s death occurred as the members of the family were leaving to
attend the funeral of her brother Elton Hanson whose death occurred at Maple
Crest sanitorium Friday afternoon, the service for the latter being held from
the Williamson home on North Fifth street. The double tragedy in the home has
greatly affected Mr. and Mrs. Louis Hanson, parents of the two and Mrs. Hanson
is this afternoon under care of physicians.
The death of Miss Hanson and the tragic circumstances attending it are inexpress-
ibly sad. Scarcely twenty-one years of age Miss Hanson is cut down at the very
threshold of life’s possibilities. She graduated from the local High school three
years ago and suffered an attack of illness some months ago, the effects of which
she was unable to throw off. For some time her condition had caused apprehension
and following the death of her brother a few days ago her condition became
aggravated although it was not considered serious. Miss Hanson passed a restless
night last night but seemed to regain her composure this morning and was thought
to be out of danger when the sudden collapse which caused death came.
Announcement a Shock
The announcement of the death of Miss Hanson was a great shock to friends of the
family. She is survived by three brothers, Raymond, Ludwig and Walton and two
sisters, Ethel and Harriet.
