E. F. Hanson, Mayor of Belfast, who
spoke at the Opera House last Friday
evening at Skowhegan's patriotic
demonstration, was born on a farm in
Lincoln, in 1853.
When seventeen years of age, he
left the farm and followed the sea

mate. His occupations since that
time have been many and varied for
he has been a farmer, dealer in
pressed hay, operating presses in diff
ferent portions of Maine, a wholesale
and retail dealer in the carriage busi-
ness at Belfast, an occupation In
which he was engaged for eight years.
After that he became manager and
largest owner in the Dana Sarsaparil-
ia Company at the time when 1t was
in its swaddling clothes. He remain
ed in that company until, with cap
ital stock of $4,000, they paid the
stockholders in dividends and thru a
sale, $4,000 in cash.
