Description	:	"Have you ever seen an inchworm crawl up a leaf or a twig, and then, clinging to the very end, revolve in the air, feeling for something, to reach something? That's like me.

I am trying to find something out there beyond the place on which I have footing." Albert P. Ryder Jesse Spaulding Hanson was born on 11 November 1871 in Darlington, Lafayette, Wisconsin, to Nelson Hanson (1836-1924) Sweden and Ada Jane Moody (1840-1925) Pennsylvania. He was the 5th of 8 children. He was named after his mother, Ada Jane's , sister Adele's husband, Jesse Spalding. Benjamin (1865-1891) Bertha (1867-1948) Joseph (1868-1921) Harriett (1869-1939) Irene (1874-1894) Perry (1875-1967) Ira (1879-1880) Jesse spent the first years of his life in Darlington with his family. By 1880 the family had relocated to Clear Lake Iowa. It was in Clear Lake that Jesse received a public school education and grew to manhood. He loved horses and the adventures of the out doors. In 1892, he had 65 head to trot. On 13 October 1891 in Mason City Iowa, Jesse, at the age of 20, married Hattie Bates (1856-1903) New York, a widow with 4 children, who was 16 years his senior. It is safe to say, I loved him instantly. It says a lot about the character of a man who could take on such a responsibility and shows a capacity to love beyond his years. Jesse and Hattie would have 3 children of their own. Clifford Benjamin (1893-1961) Lois (1895-1896) Dorothy (1897-1979) As his family and responsibilities grew he left his horses behind and went into the nursery business with his father, Nelson. In 1896 his young daughter Lois died at the age of 9 months. In the fall of 1903, Jesse's wife Hattie died at the age of 47, leaving Jesse a young widower, with 6 living children. On 23 July 1906 he married Zeta Hubbard (1879-1925). They would have 3 children together. Murriel (1908-1987) Marjorie (1913-1980) Roger Jesse (1916-1979) Jesse , the restless one, moved on to the real estate business and with the company of others came to own considerable land. He also became fascinated with automobiles, which in a few short years would have tragic consequences. In 1910, because of his love of automobiles, he opened the first service station in Clear Lake. His teenage son, Clifford, had become quite a good mechanic by this time, fixing all of the motorcycles in town. In the late summer of 1911, Jesse lost his leg to an automobile. The amputation of his leg occurred in his own home and on his dining room table. His daughter Dorothy helped prepare the room. He became very ill and never quite recovered from the accident. On the 17 August 1921, Jesse died just before his 50th birthday. His wife Zeta would follow him just 4 years later at the age of 45. Their 3 minor children were adopted by his sister Eleanor, who had not married. She took the children to Pittsburgh where she was a social worker and cared for them and educated them at the University of Pittsburgh. Jesse left a long legacy of posterity that love adventure, life, and many of us have a real passion and love for automobiles. He passed all of these things on to his son Clifford, who in turn, took those adventures to new heights. All of his children remained close over the years. Jesse Spaulding had quite a sense of humor. As a teenager, he decided to teach the kids in the area a lesson on halloween. Because they had a habit of moving the out houses as a joke, Jesse got to the out house first. He moved it just past the hole in the ground. The unsuspecting kids got more than they bargained for! Jesse was the "wild child" in this family. Lucky for us.
