Hans Hansen, who was born near Copenhagen, at Boyrenge on June 2, 1883. Three children were born in Denmark: Anna Marie, Christina, who died at age three, and Anton. They also raised a foster daughter, Anna Osborn who came to the U.S. with them, also. Hans had a half-brother, whose last name was Nielsen or Nelsen, who settled at Buffalo Gap, South Dakota. Hans homesteaded there, and Frederikki followed six months later. She cooked for section hands. Some of their recollections were of Indians appearing
wanting food. A quarter of beef would often be given to them. A daughter, Astrid was born. The next trek was by wagon and team in 1896 to homestead on Canyon Springs Prairie, twenty-eight miles north of Newcastle, near Green Mountain, the postoffice being Horton. The ranch adjoins the Christensen and Walter S. Pzinski places. (Frederikki's
brother Hans Thobiasen bought land nearby).
