Hannaford 1906

What was Hannaford like in 1906, when it was incorporated? A lot of Hannaford history is given in the Hannaford history book which was printed in 1976.  In this book we are going to look primarily at the year 1906, and the years beyond 1976.

Most of what we know about 1906, has been found on the Pages of the Hannaford Enterprise.  The first issue of this newspaper came off the press May 24, 1904.  It was issued every Tuesday.  In 1906, it was owned by I. A. Kampen, father of Mrs. O. H. (Winifred) Hoffman, now of Jamestown and his brother, Paul A. Anderson, husband of Emelia Anderson, now a resident of the Griggs County Nursing Home in Cooperstown.  A yearly subscription to the Enterprise was $1.50 and advertising rates were $.10 per line.  The Town Hall and newspaper office were located across the street to the west of our park, between Esther Welters and Faith Lutheran Church.
