There is a headstone at Mount Olivet Cemetery which has Gustav Hansen 1881-1950, Hanna Hansen 1886-1978 and C Christiansen 1848-1932.
The only death record I could find for Gustav is a date of 10th January 1952 in Brooklyn. So did he die in 1950 or 1952?
The date of death I found for Hanna Christiansen Hansen is 18th April 1978 in Greensboro, North Carolina. That appears to be correct.
C Christiansen would be Martha Christina née Knudsen, mother of Hanna, with a date of death as 12th December 1932. That also appears to be correct.
So, when did GUSTAV HANSEN die?
AS always, I appreciate any help. Thanks.

There is a Gustav Hansen in the NYC death index who died in Brooklyn in 1950. The transcription of the age and date is off from the image. The image is a little hard to read, but my best guesses are died at age 68 on 11 Aug. 1950.

Could this be the obituary for him? https://www.newspapers.com/article/brooklyn-eagle/184839016/

A death date of 11th February 1950 would seem correct as I haven't found a 1950 Census record for Gustav, Hanna or their son Ernest.
The obituary confirms everything we know about Gustav. His date of birth was 28th March 1881 in Nyborg, Denmark.
Thank you very much Shellyesq.

I have now found the 1950 Census record for Hanna Hansen living at 7117 Fort Hamilton Parkway, Brooklyn. She is widowed.

Glad it worked out. Hanna's obituary has that same address in Brooklyn. https://www.newspapers.com/article/news-and-record-obituary-for-hanna-chris/184877229/

Great. Thank you Shellesq.
So we have Hanna Hansen née Christiansen born on 22nd August 1886 in Trondheim, Norway.
Hanna died on 18th April 1978 in Greensboro, North Carolina, USA at the home of her son Ernest Hansen.
I am pretty sure that Ernest died on 11th September 2000 in Greensboro, North Carolina.
