JOHN HANSEN, Contractor. The Kauai Public Library and a number of other large 
buildings on Kauai represent the work of John Hansen, a leading contractor and 
builder of that island. He came to Honolulu in November, 1920, following his 
World War service, desirous merely of sightseeing in the islands, but remained 
and entered the contracting business on Kauai.
  Born in Denmark, Sept. 21, 1892, the son of Hans Peter and Marie (Paulsen) 
Hansen, his early education was obtained in the public schools of Denmark. In 
1906 he arrived in the United States and attended the public schools of 
Stephen, Minn.
  With the outbreak of the war, Mr. Hansen enlisted in the United States Army 
at Salt Lake City, Utah, in December, 1917, and served with the 318th 
Engineers on two fronts, Gerard-Mer sector, and Meuse-Argonne, France, besides 
serving with the Army of Occupation in Germany until June, 1919. Mr. Hansen is 
an Elk, Mason and Odd Fellow.
