Married Annie Anderson on March 26, 1892. Father of Ida (Mrs Emil Pearson), Ena, Edna (Mrs John L. Lehman), and Clarence.
From the Columbus Journal:
Olof Hanson, aged 40, residing on a farm north of Monroe, committed suicide
last Friday afternoon by shooting himself. Shortly after eating his dinner, Hanson took his shot gun and went to the barn where he loaded the weapon. About 4 o'clock he fastened the gun in the bottom of his buggy with a piece of wire attached to the trigger in such a manner that by pulling it the gun could be discharged. After all preparations had been made, Hanson stepped to the rear of the buggy, and placing his left breast against the muzzle of the gun and grasping the wire with his hand, called his wife to step to the door a moment. The supposition is that he desired his wife to witness his rash act, but when he called she was busy and did not at once respond. Evidently Hanson got tired of waiting for his wife to come and see him die, and pulled the wire. The charge from the gun entered his body near the heart and he died almost instantly. An inquest was held and the verdict returned in accordance with the facts given above. Hanson had been considerably depressed owing to business trouble and some of his friends had remarked that his mental condition was not exactly right. Funeral services were held Sunday and the remains interred in the Quaker cemetery west of Monroe.
