HANS HENRICKSON

STROKE FATAL TO HANS HENDRICKSON (sic) A PIONEER WARDEN OF WISCONSIN
Hans Hendrickson, state conservation warden who reached his seventieth birthday
on last Friday, and who suffered a stroke Sunday afternoon while leaving his
home on Monroe street died last night, at 10:30 without regaining consciousness.
He will be buried from the Beduhn and Goetz funeral chapel Thursday afternoon at
two o’clock, and six of his fellow wardens in the state service will act as
pallbearers.
The deceased has been in the state service for more than a quarter of a century.
He was employed in the old days when the officers were known as deputy fish and
game wardens and in point of service was the second oldest warden in Wisconsin,
only one other, Valentine Heath of Milwaukee, having served longer than Mr.
Hendrickson.
Born in Denmark, Wis., Mr. Hendrickson spent his early life there and later located
in this city, being engaged in the bill posting business. Later he was a deputy
sheriff and after two years doing special duty for the state in the protection of
fish and game in this part of the state was commissioned a regular warden which
position he filled for 25 years, being active until the day of his death.
Mr. Hendrickson was married to a Kahlenberg daughter, who survives him together
with six sons, Hugo, Wilfor, Aroille, Gerald, Russell and Owen, all of this city.
A brother at Denmark also survives.
The deceased was one of the best posted wardens on commercial fishing in the employ
of the state. Always jovial and with a pleasant word for everyone the deceased was
beloved by a large circle of friends both in Two Rivers, and in the territory in
Northeastern Wisconsin in which he worked to pursuing his duties as conservation
warden.
