Hans Andersen Hammer was born in Vestermarie, Bornholm, Denmark on 11 October 1829. He was the only child of Hans Peter Hansen Hammer and Ane Margrethe Andersen.
He grew to manhood in his native land. He received his education in Nylarsker and learned tailoring from his father and also how to care for animals.
His father was born in Vestermarie, Bornholm, Denmark in August of 1790. His mother passed away when Hans Peder was nine years of age. He lived with an uncle, Esper Hansen, and worked as a farm hand. When he was twenty-four, he married Anne Margrethe Andersen on 4 June 1814. They made their home in Nylarsker where Hans Andersen Hammer was born. Hans Peder was a tailor and fisherman. His wife died on 17 Jun 1845 and he and his son moved to Arnager, where Latter-day Saint missionaries converted them. Hans Peder was disfellowshipped and was rebaptized in 1855 after his son Hans Anderson had left for Utah.
Sailed from Liverpool, England, 3 Jan 1854 on the ship Jesse Munn. Arrived in New Orleans, Lousiana, 20 Feb. 1854 with 335 LDS immigrants. Christopher J. Larsen was the Religious Leader on the ship.
Hans Andersen Hammer met Juliane Marie Riis (Reese) in Arnager and married her on 28 January 1853 in Nylarsker, Bornholm, Denmark. They were converted to the LDS Church in Arnager. Elder H. Olsen baptized both on 7 July 1853 and Elder A. Larsen confirmed both of them on 10 July 1853.
On 28 November 1853, they left Denmark to join the saints in Utah, because of persecution in their native land. 301 people sailed on the Steamship Stesvig on 22 December 1853 for Liverpool, England. Their son, Wegedere Andri, was born there on 9 December 1853. He died aboard ship on the way to America on 8 January 1854, and was buried at sea.
Hans Andersen Hammer and his wife Juliane Marie landed at New Orleans. They went up the Missouri River to St. Louis and then went on to Westport, Missouri, (now Kansas City.) They went west with Captain Hans Peter Olsen. They traveled by ox team to Fort Kearney, where Elder Erastus Snow from the Council of the Twelve spoke to them in their native tongue. Hearing it spoken was a gift from heaven in this new, strange land.
They reached Salt Lake City on 5 October 1854 and lived there for five years. Part of the time was spent working on the construction of the Salt Lake Temple. They moved to Lehi, Utah in 1859. They took up farming and lived there for the remainder of their lives. Hans ran the first livery stable in Lehi, which later became the most prominent in that city. He also owned a small store and sold supplies to Johnston’s Army in Fairfield, Utah. He also owned a small Hotel and operated it on a small scale.
Juliane Marie had eight children; William, George, Ann Margaretta (Mrs. Edward F. Cox), Aldura Marie (Mrs. Henry Ashton), their oldest, Wegedere Andri, Eva Julia, Jonnie Martin, Juliane Marie, and Julius. Wegedere Andri, Eva Julia, Jonnie Martin, Juliane Marie and Julius died in infancy. Grandmother Juliane Marie died on 28 March 1867 in Lehi, Utah.
With many small children to care for, Hans married Miss Anna Christina Orego. They had seven children, of whom Joseph, Elizabeth and Samuel grew to maturity. Hans Hammer was an industrious citizen of Lehi and passed through the hard times of the early days, living to become a thriving businessman in the community. He died in Lehi on 15 September 1905 and is buried there with his two wives.
