Hannah Moore was the wife of John Atkinson. She was one of the founding members of the Universalist Church organized at the Atkinson schoolhouse in Cottage Grove, MN. Hannah passed away at age 64 from cancer. Sources for her exact date of death all conflict on either the month or day, with her tombstone listing September 17th, and two Registers of Deaths listing October 11th or 12th. Another note of interest is the inscription on her grave, which is attributed to A. B. F. These are the same initials of the woman John Atkinson married the year after Hannah's death, Almira B. Fiske. It is possible that Hannah was friends with Almira Fiske, and that in passing she brought John and her friend together in marriage.
