Fred C. Hansche
Among the energetic and enterprising farmers of Mount Pleasant township is numbered Fred C. Hansche, who is living on section 32, where in connection with his brother, Louis A. Hansche, he is cultivating one hundred acres of land. He was born October 15, 1870, in the township where he still resides, his father being William C. Hansche, mentioned above. At the usual age he entered the common schools, which he attended until he reached the age of eighteen. He then gave his entire attention to the task of assisting his father in the work of the home farm and since his father’s death has been active in the management and control of the property. He is associated with his younger brother, Louis A., and they today own and cultivate one hundred acres, constituting one of the excellent farms of the township. They raise some grain but the place is largely devoted to vegetables and as truck farmers they are meeting with excellent success. Their place always presents a most attractive appearance, for the fields are clean and well cultivated and the vegetables are, by reason of the fertility of the soil and the practical, progressive methods of the owners, of splendid size and quality.

In his political views Me. Hansche is an earnest republican and fraternally he is connected with the Eagles at Racine, while his religious faith is that of the Methodist Episcopal church.
