ALFRED HANSEN
Arizona, The Youngest State, 1913 pg 648

Alfred Hansen, manager of the Dominion Hotel in Globe and 
organizer of the operating company, was born in Denmark in 
1869, a son of Johannes and Katherine Hansen.  The father 
died in Denmark in 1885 and the mother is still living in 
that country. In their family were nine children, of whom 
the subject of this review was the only one to come to America.

Alfred Hansen acquired his education in the public schools 
of his native country and in 1888 crossed the Atlantic, 
settling first in Nebraska. A short time later he located 
in South Omaha, where he worked in a hotel for two years, 
becoming in this way first identified with the business which 
has claimed his attention for many years. For five years 
thereafter he worked in the eating houses conducted by the 
Union Pacific Railroad and when he severed his connection 
with that road was with the Fred Harvey eating houses for 
twelve years. With this wide and varied experience as a 
foundation for success, Mr. Hansen came to Globe in 1905, 
organized a stock company and erected the Dominion Hotel of 
which he has been the manager since that time. Understanding 
the business thoroughly he has conducted the enterprise 
successfully along modern and progressive lines, making the 
Dominion Hotel the leading hostelry in Globe, well managed 
and completely equipped, supplied with every accessory for 
the comfort and convenience of guests.

In December 1902 Mr. Hansen married Miss Lydia Jacoby, a 
native of Las Cruces, New Mexico and a daughter of Adolph 
and Henrietta Jacoby, of that city.  In this family were 
three children: Clara, who resides in Mexico; Lydia, now 
Mrs. Hansen and William, also of Mexico.  Mr. and Mrs. 
Hansen have a daughter, Catherine Ruth who was born December 
29, 1905, and who is attending school.
