ARTHUR HANSEN   cemetery #44

RIVER CLAIMS LIFE OF YOUNG MAN ON SUNDAY
Arthur Hanson (sic) loses Life at Old Swimmin' Hole Up River
Another life was claimed by the river Sunday, the tragedy, of which 
20 year old Arthur Hanson was the victim, occuring at what is known 
as the old Rand Swimmin' hole, near the high bridge of the Northwestern 
line just outside the city limits west. No less than eight lives have 
been lost at this spot in the last twenty years, including the three 
Johnson boys and four others.
The tragedy happened at 3 o'clock and although the Hanson lad was taken 
from the river within five minutes after going down and Dr. Max Staehle 
had the pulmotor on the scene within fifteen minutes, efforts to 
resustieate (sic) the lad proved futile. At the point where the accident 
happened the water is less than five feet in detpth.
THOUGHT BOY JOKING
Hanson with a number of companions was swimming at the spot near the 
high bridge of the Chicago and North Western that has been the favorite 
bathing place of the boys for many years. An old scow was being used by 
the youths as a raft and Hanson made a dive from it. When he came up 
after his plunge his companions noticed what they thought an effort to 
call for help but because of the shallowness of the water at the spot 
thought that they were being made the victims of a joke. When Hanson 
disappeared again however and failed to reappear they dived for him, 
brought his body to the shore where resuscitation methods were promptly 
employed. While a number of the boys were doing this one of the number 
rushed to the nearest phone and called the police to bring the pulmotor 
and within a short time Dr. Staehle and the police and pulmotor was on 
the scene. Their labors proved vain. The lungs had been emptied of water 
before the pulmotor arrived and while they apparently worked the heart 
would not respond.
HEART FAILURE CAUSE
Stories of the accident conflict a little but from the accounts it would 
appear that Hanson must have struck a stone in the bottom of the river 
when he dived as his left shoulder was bruised. No marks on his head 
however but the physicians say that it was probable that the youth might 
have suffered such a blow. In their opinion death was not due to drowning 
but to heart failure.
DIVE FOR BODY
With Hanson at the time of the accident were George and Frank Panosh, 
Cornelius Warrum, Joseph Skala and Bymel Jarish. The Panosh brothers 
dived for and recovered the body and assisted with the application of 
resuscitation methods.
A statement by relatives of the unfortunate lad to the effect that he was 
just learning to swim and seemed to be making good progress in his efforts. 
Coroner Dr. W.G. Kemper, who was called to view the remains, said that it 
was more than probable that death was due to heart trouble than to drowning 
as there was no water remaining in the body and it had not been in the water 
long enough to cause death under the circumstances surrounding the recovery. 
The victim was not in the best of health adding weight to the opinion that 
death was due to other causes than drowning.
ONE OF BIG FAMILY
Arthur Hansen was a son of Mr. and Mrs. Edgar Hansen, 852 North Fourteenth 
street and was one of a family of fifteen. He is the third member of the 
family to die, two sisters having died five years ago from attacks of 
diptheria. He was born in this city in 1901 and was 20 years of age. He 
attended the public schools here and since leaving school has been employed 
by his father in the paint shop on Buffalo street. During the war six of 
his brothers served with the colors but all returned home safely. Besides 
the parents the brothers and sisters surviving are Harold, Edgar, Jr., 
Vernon, Delmore, Burton, Leonard, Robert, William, Paul and Gordon; Elida 
and Clara. The funeral will be held Wednesday afternoon at 2 o'clock from 
the home. Burial will be at Evergreen.

CARL HANSEN  (d. 1918)  cemetery #44

ASSEMBLYMAN CAR HANSEN FOUND DEAD IN OFFICE WITH BULLET HOLE IN HIS BRAIN, 
SUICIDED ON DATE OF 52ND BIRTHDAY
Well Known Insurance Man Who Had Served as City Treasurer, Alderman, 
Assessor of City and Member of State Assembly Had Been in Ill Health 
for Some Time. Was Born In This City.
Dead at his own hands, the body of Assemblyman Carl Hansen was found 
today in the rooms he occupied as a residence and insurance office on 
Washington street. A bullet hole in the right temple, and a revolver 
which he clasped in his hand told the story of the tragedy. The body 
was taken in charge by the coroner and was later turned over to A.C. 
Hanson(sic), a brother, who will have charge of the funeral. 
News of the suicide of Assemblyman Hansen spread through the city and 
caused a sensation. Mr. Hansen had been in ill health for some time, 
suffering from a nervous breakdown and it is believed that he ended his 
life while his mind was temporarily unsettled by his illness. Discovery 
of the death of Mr. Hansen was made this afternoon when Police Chief 
Groffman, at the instance of friends, forced an entrance to the building. 
Mr. Hansen had not been about for two days and was not known to have left 
the city. It had been his custom in the past to notify the Wernecke and 
Schmitz Co. whose store is nearby or the Savings Bank when he was out of 
town. When it was learned that he had left no word at either place and 
that he was not in the city, friends notified the police and asked that 
an investigation be made at his offices to learn whether he was ill, no 
response having been receieved to repeated efforts to enter the place. 
The body of Assemblyman Hansen was found in bed fully dressed with the 
exception of his coat which he had removed. The shot which caused death 
had entered the right temple and blood from the wound was spattered about 
the floor. The district attorney and coroner were notified. It is not 
probable that an inquest will be held as the evidence is conclusive of 
suicide. 
Was Fifty-two Years Old. 
Assemblyman Hansen was a native of this city and was 52 years of age. He 
was born on Jan. 3, 1866 and it is believed ended his life on the fifty 
second anniversary of his birth, physicians saying that death had occurred 
some hours before the body was found. He received his education in the 
local schools and followed farming and later engaged in the insurance 
business in this city, which he had followed for many years. Mr. Hansen 
entered politics in 1889 when he was elected city treasurer and served 
for two successive terms. He was assessor of the city in 1893 and harbor 
master in 1896. In 1898 and 1899 served as a member of the city council. 
In 1910 Mr. Hansen was elected as a member of the assembly from the first 
district of Manitowoc county and has served since that time. Assemblyman 
Hansen had the record of being the only member of the assembly in the past 
two sessions who had been in attendance at every meeting of the body. He 
attained considerable prominence last year as a candidate for speaker of 
the assembly, but was defeated in his own party caucus. 
Survived by Two Brothers. 
Assemblyman Hansen leaves two brothers—Anton C. Hansen of this city and 
Theodore Hansen of Sturgeon Bay. Funeral arrangements have not been made.

FUNERAL OF LATE CARL HANSEN TO BE HELD SUNDAY
Services to Take Place at the Chapel at Evergreen. 
State May Send Representatives
Funeral services for the late Carl Hansen will be held Sunday afternoon 
at 2 o’clock at the chapel at Evergreen cemetery. Rev. M.S. Axtell will 
officiate at the services and pall bearers will be Edwin Schuette, 
Gustave ?, Nic Kettenhoffer, Charles Groffman, Fred Schultz and Charles 
Gruhle, all of whom were school mates with Mr. Hansen and lifelong friends. 
The body of Mr. Hansen was removed from his home to the undertaking rooms 
of William Frazier yesterday afternoon and prepared for burial. 
Many friends visited the rooms today and viewed the remains which will lie 
in state until tomorrow when they will be taken to the chapel. It is 
probable that Gov. Phillip or some personal representative of the governor 
will attend the funeral here tomorrow and it is expected that a number of 
members of the legislature with whom Assemblyman Hansen served, will also 
be present. State papers pay tribute to Mr. Hansen for his service in the 
legislature. Search of the home of Mr. Hansen revealed no note which he 
might have left for relatives or friends and there is nothing to explain 
his act. 
He was about the city Wednesday as usual and during the day visited the 
Herald office and spoke of the special session of the legislature in which 
he said he was much interested particularly because of the financial measures 
which were to come up. Mr. Hansen has been a subscriber to the Herald since 
the paper was founded and on occasion of his visit Wednesday asked that the 
paper be discontinued for a few days until the office heard from him again. 
Mr. Hansen is said to have visited other newspaper offices with the same 
request.
