Hansen, Hans (26 JAN 1892 - 24 APR 1952)

A tragic death befell Hans P.C. Hansen, 57 (this is an incorrect age), Withee (Clark Co., Wis.), when he was struck on the head and killed outright by a tree.

The accident occurred at about 2 p.m. while he was working on the Owen Melin farm in the Town of Hixon.  The men were cutting a tree which fell on a nearby tree bending it downward and then caught Mr. Hansen in the head as it snapped back.

Mr. Hansen has been a resident of the Withee community for 45 years.

Surviving him are his wife, six daughters and two sons.

Funeral arrangements are still pending until all the children have been notified.
