3 sons: Ernest, Charles, and Edward and 1 daughter - Marion
He was a descendant of John Hanson, 1st president of the U.S. Congress under the Articles of Confederation. Both were natives of what is known as 'Southern Maryland', of which Charles county is 1 of 3 (and parts of 2 others) which compromise this unique area. He was employed at Union Station, the main terminal for trains coming & going in Washington, D.C. During WW I, he was in charge of all movements of U.S. troop trains within the grounds. He was a foreman and the night supervisor for the Washington Terminal yards, owners of the station. He had been there when the terminal was finished construction and stayed for 37 years; he was working when he died. He was known in his youth as an athlete - his sandlot team once defeated Georgetown University in football, which was rugged and popular in the early 1900s. His sons followed in this tradition becoming champions in some sports as well.
