Note: ​The community of Hanna lost another of its beloved old timers with the passing of Mrs. Susannah Angwin.
Born Susannah Cox in Blyner, South Wales, England, June 15, 1868, she came to this country with her parents, when 14 years of age, to What Cheer, Iowa, where she lived for approximately nine years. There she became the bride of Joseph Angwin on September 3, 1886, and to this union eleven children were born.
The family moved to Hanna, Wyoming, in 1890 when the town was just starting, the Angwins being among its first residents. She lived in Hanna for forty years, her husband passing away 33 years ago.
Mrs. Angwin was always helpful and neighborly and did practical nursing to help rear her children, and about 16 years ago moved to Mountain View, Wyoming. Owing to ill health, she had been residing with her daughters, Mrs. A. R. Higgins of Rawlins and Mrs. Charles Mellor of Hanna, for the past several months. She was at the Mellor home when she suffered a stroke on August 6 and was admitted to the Hanna Hospital where she quietly passed away on August 16.
Mrs. Angwin is survived by three daughters, Mrs. A. R. Higgins and Mrs. Charles Campbell of Rawlins and Mrs. Charles Mellor of Hanna; one son, Joseph Angwin of Lyman, Wyoming; twelve grandchildren; seven great grandchildren; three sisters, Mrs. Thomas Logan of Independence, Missouri, Mrs. Sara Williams of Fort Collins, Colorado and Mrs. Annie Smith of Aguilar, Colorado; and two brothers, W.H. Cox of Hilrose, Colorado and D. T. Cox of Great Falls, Montana.
Funeral services were held in the Methodist Church in Hanna on August 20 with Rev. H. H. Heard of the Episcopal Church officiating, assisted by Rev. Warren Dirks of the Methodist Church. Interment was in the Hanna Cemetery. Pallbearers were: Evan Jones, Lynwood Smith, W. A. Briggs, Albin Klaseen, Gaddis Kerr and Richard Lee.  (UPCCEM, September 1946)
