Hansen suffered the attack in his car after making a business call at the office of Joseph Mullen, Colby elementary school principal.  The car went out of control and backed into a tree in the schoolyard.  Walter Mueller, school custodian, who was at work in the yard, witnessed the mishap and found Hansen slumped in the car seat.

Hansen, president of the Wis. Teachers College at Stevens Point, and a sister, Mrs. Emma Riesetter, Harriman, Tenn.
