Hans Hansen, 91, was a well known and loved pioneer. He was born in Washington, Utah, August 24, 1862. He came to Arizona when he was about 12 years old, driving a team and wagon for his family. They settled in the Salt River Valley before moving to the Show Low area in about 1890.

He was an Indian fighter in early days when the Apaches were on the warpath, and was present at the final capture of Geronimo, one of the most famous of the Apache war chiefs. The patriarch was instrumental in the founding of the Lakeside Ward of the LDS church and was one of its early bishops.
