Anna Margret Hansen was born in Denmark March 12, 1860, and was married to Eric Mackeprang May 2, 1880. Together they came to this country and settled on a farm near Stoughton shortly afterward. They lived near Evansville and other places until 1917 when they moved near Shortville in this county, where Mrs. Mackeprang died August 30, after several weeks illness, at the age of 77.

Six children were born to them: Nova, who died as a child, and Mrs. Orrin Bull, Emma of Janesville, Charles at home, Mrs. Nels Hanson of Evansville and Mrs. Alfred Speigel of Neillsville, Wis. There are 13 grandchildren. Her husband preceded her in death, May 18, 1905. Short services were held at the Schiller Funeral home Thursday, Rev. Bixler officiating, and at Oregon, Wis., where services were held in the Danish Lutheran Church. Interment was in Rutland Cemetery in the family lot.
