The twins, Hans and Harvey, were as opposite as could be. Hans had beautiful dark curly hair and ready to fight with any boy that came along. (see Harvey for additional notes)

Hans did not stay long in Iowa, but traveled west to the Dakotas, Canado, and Minnesota where he met a girl, Carrie Bassett from a family of ten children. Finally, he bought and settled on the Ole Olsen farm. (Olsen and family moved out to the state of Washington.)
