He put into the world more than
he received and left this world his
debtor" said Rev. Franklin Fen
ner in his brief, sincere tribute to
DR.. Knud Hanson, at funeral SER
vices held yesterday afternoon for
the doctor, one of the best known
and loved of Colorado physicians.
The Baptist church, where the
services were held was filled with
those who had known and loved
DR.. Hanson in life, and the altar
was OVERLOOKING with floral trib-
utes to the deceased.
Rev. Fenner voiced the thoughts
of many when he said thine only
can show how much DR.. Hanson
will be missed in time to come
missed in the home, the hospital,
the medical fraternity here and
elsewhere, and by all who called
him friend and physician"
Rev. Fenner used the fourth
verse of the 23rd Psalm for his
text-'Yea, though walk through
the valley Of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil; for thou are
with me; thy rod and thy staff
they comfort me-"
I'VE can" Rev. Fenner said,
'1earn simple lessons from the
character Of this great man, a
great character whom everyone
loved for his tender, individual
ministry. Many times our friend
walked through the valley Of the
shadow with others and talked in
comfort to them. He himself had
walked through the valley, and
could say 7 shall fear no evil Fear,
the cause of many failures, was
unknown to DR.. Hanson.
Words fail in paying tribute to
