Five years ago, Bonnie Hanson invited me to her home after hearing how much I enjoyed historical places. The home she and her late husband, Don, purchased in 1988, was built by Otto Anderson, who operated the Big Store for many years following the untimely death of original owner Olafur G. Anderson at age 44 in 1903 from tuberculosis.
