A marriage license was issued today to Harry L. Hanson and Nettie Hart, both of Elroy, Wis.
(Source: Winona Republican-Herald, Winona, MN, 18 Sep 1916, Page 10)
----------------------------------------
per Martha Drugan-Westphal (Apr 2003):
"My uncle Harry was a real nice guy... very quiet, polite, and a good husband and father. Aunt Ruth was very nice as well. I lived with them when I was 18 and moved to Baraboo. They lived on Vine Street. Every day when I'd come home from working at the Ration Board, Ruth would have a nice lunch waiting for me. I paid them $1.00 a day for room and board. Harry worked for the railroad, and knew your dad's (Robert Westphal) father, Roy. From time to time he'd stop in your grandpa's tavern for a beer after work."
