Henry emigrated from Brevik, Norway in SEP 1906 to seek out new adventures and see what America had to offer. He worked on the east coast for a few years before heading to Oregon and ultimately, Seattle, Washington.
He served his new country as well, enlisting MAY 1918 and working as a mechanic/ship carpenter 22nd machine gun Battalion, than re-enlisting and serving out of 42nd Company, 166th Depot Brigade - working as a mechanic, honorably discharged and recommended for re-enlistment in JUL 1919. NOTE: his headstone is marked HANSON but he was HANSEN - his wife tried to have spelling corrected, however the Army refuses to acknowledge this misspelling of his name, as that is how they enlisted him and he is buried in the Veterans area of the cemetery.
