P. and Ingred (Agen) Hanson, natives respectively of Denmark and Norway, who settled on a farm near New Auburn in the early days, and became prominent and substantial people. The subject of this sketch was reared on the home farm, attended school, and learned farming from his father. In 1917 he bought his present farm of 80 acres. He has made many improvements and now carries on general farming and dairying. His cattle are pure-blooded Jerseys, his sheep are pure-blooded Hampshires, and his horses are of good grade. He is in every way a good citizen, he understands farming thoroughly, and is regarded as one of the substantial men of the community. Mr. Hanson married Ida Carlson, who was born in Dovre Township, Aug. 4 1883, the daughter of Martin and Ingred (Stegne) Carlson. This union has been blessed with five children: Ingrid, Matilda, Arthur, Carl and Philip. --Transcribed from: History of Barron Co., Wisconsin, H. C.
