Son of KNUD BECKMAN HANSEN and ANNE MARIE BOYE - BOIE. He was a farmer on the small scale and also had a kiln for brick-making in Denmark.
Oct 1, 1858--Hans married SIDSEL MARIE PEDERSEN, the daughter of HANS PEDERSEN. Sidsel was born on the Island of Aero, Denmark in 1836.
In 1876, Hans, age 44, immigrated with Sidsel his wife, and their 5 children in 1876 to the Copenhagen Community of Jackson Township, Shelby County, Iowa. Hans had bought the "railroad land" in this community. He was short-changed going through Castle Garden, New York during the immigration check of money and possessions. He was called a "tough man" and walked to the bank in Atlantic, the only one he apparently trusted. Another remembrance was that he put his walking plow over his shoulder and carried it 1 mile to get it fixed, rather than loading it in a wagon and hauling it. Hans and Sidsel were Charter Members of the Bethlehem Lutheran Church.
