OREN HANK (HANKS), has been a resident of
Clark County for many years. He lives on a farm of 166 acres,
located on section 1, Levis Township, which, from a wilderness he
has developed into its present productive state.
Mr. Hank was born in Vermont, November 27, 1837, son of Oren and
Susannah Hank. He received a fair education in his Native State,
and at the age of nineteen began to work out for himself. At first
he received $13 per month. Of their family of seven children who
came to Clark County, Wisconsin, all are still living. The subject
of our sketch was married in this State, January 5, 18--, to Ruth
Clark. At the time of his marriage he had but little means and
began life in a humble way. Prosperity, however, has attended his
labors, and he is now in a position to enjoy the comforts of life.
He is a Republican, and one of Clark County's best citizens.
