Earl W. HANSON, cashier of the Bank of Elk Mound, was born in the
village of Elk Mound, Oct. 17, 1888, son of Nels and Marie
(Christopherson) Hanson.  He was educated in the grade schools of the
village and then for a while worked in his father's wagon shop, being
later employed in a general store.  In 1907 he prepared himself for
further advancement in the business world by enrolling as a student
in a business college in Eau Claire, Wis., later becoming bookkeeper
for the Strong Hardware Co. of Baldwin, Wis.  In November, 1908, he
became bookkeeper and assistant cashier in the Bank of Elk Mound, and
so remained until July, 1910, in which year he accepted the position
of cashier in the Gilmanton State Bank, of Gilmanton, Wis., and was
with that institution until December, 1911.  He then returned to Elk
Mound and resumed the position of assistant cashier in the bank here,
continuing as such until January, 1918, when he was appointed to his
present position as cashier.  On July 23, 1918, he was drafted into
the United States' service and sent to Camp Grant for training, where
he remained until his discharge on Feb. 11, 1919.  He is a Blue Lodge
Mason, belonging to Lodge No. 164 in Menomonie, also to the camp of
Modern Woodmen in Elk Mound.  He resides with his parents in the
village.  As the son of worthy pioneers, he has a good heredity, and
his own achievements thus far mark him as one possessed of qualities
likely to ensure him an honorable and successful career.
