| Title | Elm Street #120 |
| Description | This house with a glassed-in porch was built by dressmaker Charlotte Lewis (1832-1891) in 1889. Lewis kept detailed diaries of her life in Hudson over 20 years. Charlotte's nephew, Elbert Lewis (1857-1936), was a Hudson postmaster. For many years the house was known as the Hanson place. The Hanson family migrated from Lincolnshire, England, during the 1850s and settled in Hudson with their cousins, the Hurns. Edward Hanson (1796-1891) worked as a laborer and later as a carriage maker; his sons were carriage makers as well. His daughter, Charlotte Hanson Ruger (1834-1918), married Prussian immigrant and noted Civil War-era mapmaker Albert Ruger (1829-1899). Edward's great-grandson, Hewson Hanson (1896-1979), lived in this house for many years. Hewson operated a business on Main Street. Like the Brown family, the Hanson family has had members reside in Hudson for more than 150 years. |
