E. A. HANSEN

Edward A. Hansen, the popular and efficient postmaster of Holstein, was  born 
June 8, 1896, at Wall Lake, Iowa, and is the eldest of the six children in  
the family of Hans C. and Mary (Kastner) Hansen.  The father was a native  of 
Germany and became an expert cabinetmaker.  He came to the United States  early 
in the '80s and first located in Sac county, Iowa, where he married Miss  
Kastner.  She was a native of Benton county, this state, and a daughter of 
Henry Kastner.

Edward A. Hansen was reared and educated in Ida county and after  leaving 
high school became a clerk in a general store.  He was thus  employed for six 
years and in 1920, during the Wilson administration, was chosen  postmaster of 
Holstein.  He was reappointed by President Coolidge and has  demonstrated that 
he is the right man for the office.  He is devoted to the  interests intrusted 
to his care and his work has been highly satisfactory.

On  January 14, 1918, Mr. Hansen married Miss Bessie Mae Kitchen, one of the 
eight  children born to Henry and Ann Kitchen.  Mr. and Mrs. Hansen have three 
 children:  Earl H., Lois E. and Edward, Jr.  They are affiliated with  the 
Methodist Episcopal church and Mr. Hansen is a strong advocate of the  platform 
and principles of the republican party.  He is a young man of  worth and 
ability, thoroughly qualified for the responsibilities devolving upon  him, and 
holds a high place in the esteem of the citizens of Holstein.
