CHARLES HAGEN (Rep.), of Outagamie county, was born in the town of
Lomira, Dodge county, Wisconsin, on the 12th day of March, 1862. He
continued to reside there upon the old homestead until 1882, when he
came to Outagamie county and located at Black Creek and established
himself in business on a small scale. His business interests have
grown yearly and he now has a good sized manufacturing institution
turning out cheese boxes, cisterns, tanks, window and door frames,
etc., with a lumber yard in connection. Mr. Hagen received a common
school education, which has been added to by practical business
experience. Mr. Hagen served as town clerk and justice of the peace at
Black Creek, and was tendered the nomination again, but his business
interests had increased to such an extent that he could not accept.
Subsequently he was elected president of the school board of the Black
Creek graded schools and has officiated in that capacity for the past
twelve years. He is now serving as president of the village board of
the recently incorporated village; was elected to the assembly in
1904, and re-elected in 1906, receiving 1,511 votes against 1,487 for
G. Folk (Dem.).
