One of the younger members of the House is the Hon. G.N. Haugen of Worth county, born in Rock county, Wisconsin, April 21, 1859. While he was very young his parents moved to Worth county and he was sent to school at Decorah, Iowa, and afterwards to the public schools and business college at Janesville, Wisconsin. In the latter institution he gained the technical knowledge of accounts that has made him a valuable man in Worth county affairs ever since. After his schooling was finished he returned to farming, which he followed for a few years. Then he opened a hardware store at Northwood and by strict attention to the wants of his customers he built up a very good trade. It was not long until he added agricultural implements to his stock in trade and soon after he was dealing in fine horses, importing most of them. During this time he was elected to various township offices, in all of which he served faithfully. In 1884 he was nominated by the Republicans of Worth county for the position of county treasurer. In the election he was easily the victor. Twice he was elected to succeed himself, his last term ending with the close of 1893. Last fall he was elected to the legislature.
