Claud Harrison Hare, proprietor of a dairy and stock farm of 160 acres in 
section 12, Gale Township, was born in Trempealeau Township, this county, 
Oct. 6, 1888, son of William and Aurilla (Hovell) Hare.  His parents were 
natives of Wisconsin, the father born in La Crosse County, Sept. 4, 1860, 
and the mother in Trempealeau County, Oct, 31, 1870.  William Hare became 
a land owner in this county in 1887 and has always been a farmer.  He still 
resided on his old homestead of 180 acres and is one of the active 
agriculturalists of his township.  He and his wife have been the parents of 
four children.  Claud H. was the first born.  Claud H. Hare in his boyhood 
attended District School No. 13, which was located on his father's farm.  
He learned agriculture under his father's tuition and lived at home until 
he was 20 years of age.  He then worked on a dairy farm for two years, 
afterward moving to Galesville, where he resided for five months, during 
this period being engaged in operating a threshing outfit.  At the end of 
that time -- in December -- he rented the Harris farm in Big Tamarac and 
operated it until December, 1913, when he purchased his present farm of 
160 acres of improved land.  This he is operating as a general dairy farm 
and stock farm, giving particular attention to the breeding of Durham 
cattle.  He is not active in politics, preferring to give his entire 
attention to his business, which is growing larger each year.  June 30, 
1909, Mr. Hare was united in marriage with Mabel Harnslein, who was born 
at Frenchville, Trempealeau County, Wis., daughter of Andrew and Julia 
(Sagen) Harnslein.  Her father, who also was born at Frenchville, this 
county, and raised there, was a traveling salesman up tot he time of his 
death, Nov. 4, 1911.  His wife, Mrs. Hare's mother, who is a sister of Ole 
Sagen, of Galesville, was born in Norway, Sept. 6, 1862.  Mrs. Hare was 
educated in Trempealeau County, attending the Galesville High School and 
also Gale College.  She and her husband are the parents of two children:  
Lyle Fern and Ruth Mae.  Mr. Hare's fraternal society affiliations are with 
the Yeomen and the Modern Woodmen of America.  He and his family stand high 
in the community and have a wide circle of friends.
