Notes |
- The U.S. census of 1930 shows the Hansen family living at 4213 W. Cullerton St. in Chicago, consisting of Ralph, age 29, born in Chicago, his parents born in Norway; his wife Lillian, age 29, born in Chicago, her parents born in Germay; and their children Lois, age 2, and Ronald, age 10/12. Ralph was employed as a collector for a bakery. This Lillian Hansen is presumably the daughter of Herman and Ida (Heinz) Schmidt, since Lillian Hansen signed Ida Schmidt's death certificate in 1930, and lived about a block away in 1930.
The census of 1940 shows the same family living at 2539 Tripp Avenue in Chicago, with Ralph employed as a "beer coil cleaner" in the tavern industry.
Ralph Hansen's naturalization record is dated September 27, 1940, and states that he was born at Drammen, Norway on February 5, 1901, married June 12, 1926 to Lillian. She was born in Chicago on September 16, 1900. Their daughter Lois was born December 25, 1927. Their son Ronald was born June 16, 1929. Ralph arrived in the U.S. in September 1903 on the vessel "Stavanger Fjord". Ralph was living at 2539 Tripp Avenue and employed as a beer coil cleaner.
