  Living with parents and wife in 1880. Obituary: http://www.archive.org/stream/historyofprescot00cool/historyofprescot00cool_djvu.txt CHARLES A. HANSON Friends and relatives of Charles Albert Hanson, 67, were shocked to hear of his unfortunate death, which occurred in a small shed near his home on Chestnut Hill in Orange on Sunday afternoon, June 3, 1923. He committed suicide by shooting him- self with a revolver which he secured at the home of a neighbor. For the past four years he had been poor health, and during the last few weeks suffered greatly from melancholia. Mr. Hanson was born in Cooleyville, September 4, 1855, the son of Albert A. and Louisa (Coolidge) Hanson, and graandson of Asahel and Hopey (Gray) Hanson of Prescott. When he was two years old his parents moved to Orange where he had since lived, the family making its home for a number of years on West River street. Mr. Hanson's mother was a daughter of Napoleon B. and Susan (Pierce) Coolidge, whose home was in the south part of New Sa- lem commonly known as "Puppyville", situated on top of the hill just east of the Mager Brown place. Napoleon Coolidge built this place and lived there a good many years. Mr. Hanson was a pattern maker by trade and was employed by the Rodney Hunt Machine company in Orange for about 30 years. When his health gave out he left the shop and worked as a gardener. About thirty-two years ago he built the house on Chestnut Hill where he had since lived until he moved to Walnut Hill street in Orange last fall. At the time of his death he was tree warden for the town of Orange. Mr. Hanson was a man of the best habits and was jovial in disposition in his younger life. He married on February 1, 1880, Miss S. Winona Crowl, daughter of Francis and Harriet (Putnam) Crowl of New Salem. Besides his wife he leaves a daughter, Mrs. Nyca Ashton; a daughter-in-law, Mrs. Susie (Morrison) Hanson and two grandchildren, Charlotte C. and Earl M. Hanson, and a sister, Mrs. Nellie (Robbins) Gray, all of Orange. Mr. Hanson's mother met a tragic death on September 4, 1903, as a result of a runaway horse, and his son, C. Earl Hanson, sustained injuries in September, 1920, when he came in contact with a circular saw while sawing wood. His brother, Carl Hanson, died in 1911 or 1912 in the west. The burial was in the West Orange cemetery. Rev. Andrew Camp- bell officiated.
