Chester spent his early life mostly in Hemlock, Oregon in Tillamook County. He had the same teacher for eight grades at Hemlock School. He then went to Nestucca Union High School for one year and had to quit to go to work.
He worked several jobs around Tillamook and Coos Bay. He moved to Gaston in 1939, where he bought a farm from Bob Tompkins in Patton Valley. At first he milked the cows by hand; later he got electricity and purchased a milking machine.

Later he bought beef cows and cut wood off his property. Because of poor health, they sold the farm and moved to Forest Grove in 1981. He was a member of the Knights of Pythias, Gaston.
Mr. Hanson died Saturday, March 1, 1987, at Forest View Care Center. He is survived by his wife Freda; a brother Carl E.
