Hansson, Esther Frieda; 68: Russian (Odessa)-born in 1861. Came to Eretz Yisrael at the age of seven with her parents and remained in Hebron.
She studied sewing and married Shochet (kosher butcher) Hansson. Her home was always open to the many Jews who visited the Tomb of Machpela and the graves of the Patriachs.
She was at the Reizmann family home when the killers came. Esther knew them by name and begged for her life. She reminded the murderers of all the help they had received from her. She was badly wounded anyway by sword and dagger stabs. She died six days later at the British hospital in Jerusalem.
Esther-Freida (Charna) Henson was born in 1862 in Odessa, Russia. At the age of 8, immigrated to Eretz Israel with her family and settled in Hebron.

נולדה בשנת תרכ"ב (1862) באודסה, רוסיה. בהיותה בת 8 עלתה עם משפחתה לארץ-ישראל והתיישבה בחברון.
היא למדה תפירה, ובגיל 15 נישאה לאיש. היתה עסקנית ופעילת ציבור, ובייחוד הרבתה בהכנסת אורחים. בחודשי אלול ותשרי, שבהם הרבו יהודים להגיע לחברון כדי להשתטח על קברי האבות, מצאו האורחים אכסניה בבית "אשת השוחט".
ביום פרעות אב תרפ"ט בחברון, כששהתה אסתר-פרידה בבית חתנה, פרצו פורעים לבית, ומבלי לשעות לתחנוניה דקרוה ופצעוה קשה, בין הנרצחים בבית היו חתנה יעקב-זאב ואחיו משה.
היא הועברה לבית-החולים הממשלתי בחברון, וכעבור יומיים - לבית-החולים האנגלי בירושלים. ביום כ"ג באב תרפ"ט (29.8.1929) נפטרה שם מפצעיה, והובאה למנוחות בבית-העלמין שעל הר הזיתים בירושלים.
הניחה שתי בנות ושני בנים.
זכרה הונצח בספר יזכור לקדושי אב תרפ"ט.
