Peter M. Hanson, a well known citizen of this city, died Monday at the age of 82 years. Deceased was a native of Schleswig, Holstein, Denmark and came to California in 1861 from Boston where he had resided for a couple of years. For several years Mr. Hanson was engaged in the Sacramento River shipping trade until the advent of railroads caused a diversion of traffic into other channels. He then moved to this country where he resided for about forty-five years, first in San Mateo and then to this city. For some years, he devoted himself to farming but during late years, he has been living here with his son, Edward. His wife died about ten years ago and Mr. Hanson has been suffering for a long time from an incurable disease and when death came it was a blessed relief He leaves one son, Edward, and two grandchildren. He was a member of Metamora Tribe No. 24 Imp’d O.R.M. under whose auspices he was buried. The funeral took place yesterday. Interment in Union Cemetery.
