ANDERS HANSON (d. 1914)
ANDREW HANSON, PIONEER WAGON MAKER, IS DEAD
PIONEER RESIDENT, FOR YEARS HEAD OF THE HANSON WAGON WORKS, DIES WEEK AFTER
HE SUFFERED STROKE OF PARALYSIS
Andrew Hanson, pioneer wagon maker of the city and for fifty years head of
the Hanson Wagon Works company, one of the large manufacturing concerns of
the city, died at his home at 624 Buffalo street early last evening, just
one week to the hour from the time he suffered a stroke of paralysis. Mr.
Hanson’s death was sudden and was due to heart failure, superinduced by the
attack of a week ago.
Though 80 years of age, Mr. Hansen (sic) up to the time of the stroke a week
ago, had enjoyed good health and even after the stroke he gave indication of
rapid recovery. At 6 o’clock last evening, however, Mr. Hanson became
unconscious and passed away, his death being peaceful and without suffering.
Mr. Hansen (sic) was born March 18, 1834 and came to Manitowoc from Langeland,
Denmark, in 1858?, and five years later he established the plant which later
became the Hansen (sic) Wagon Works and was for years one of the city’s
important industries. The company discontinued business four years ago and
Mr. Hansen (sic) has lived in retirement.
…(Three or four lines unreadable)…three sons, Martin, Thorval and Adolph, and
one daughter, Mrs. Martha C. Moe. The couple celebrated their fifty-seventh
wedding anniversary with a family reunion in this city last month.
The funeral will be held Tuesday at 1:30 p.m. from the house and at 2 p.m.
from the church.

death at Manitowoc on Friday of Andrew Hanson, father of Martin Hanson, a former

some time ago removed to Regina, Canada. Mr. and Mrs. E.N. Anderson left Monday
for Manitowoc to attend the funeral of Mr. Hanson who was a brother-in-law of
