Hans Denison Jr.

Hans Denison Jr. was born, 29 Jul 1856 in Manti Utah to Hans Dinesen Sr. and Johanne Jacobsen Christoffersen. Hans Sr. recorded his birth as follows:
1856: On Tuesday July 29, my wife gave birth to another son, who was named Hans Dinesen. That same night I was out cutting Hay at "Kanalkreg", and we were almost completely out of bread. Immediately after my wife got very sick and could not move her hands or feet. She was so close to passing away that she bid all of us farewell. With all my faith I prayed to the Lord, that the angel of death would leave her. She did lose her mind for a while though. A hard and sorrowful time followed for me. The grain was ready for harvest, and I had to do it alone, so I had to get up around 1-2 o'clock in the morning to go to the field. All I had to eat was a piece of bread and some water. I had to watch over my sick wife day and night, and I got so weak, I could hardly stand on my feet. In the last part of September my wife got better and was able to help me.
Also from Hans Sr.s' record we find that Hans Jr. had a type of skin condition as a child.
This spring (1858) we also had the pleasure and blessing from the Lord that our little son became almost cured from his sickness. Ever since he was born he had been bothered with sores all over his head, which caused us a lot of trouble – especially my wife – and the boy was bothered with itching and was often bloody all over his face.
And in 1859 Hans Sr. writes:
The year 1859 started with sorrow and adversity. On January 2 our little son, Hans, fell down from our straw stack. I was attending fast meeting when it happened. When I came home he looked like he was dead, but as soon as I put my hands on him he started to breathe regularly again.
By 1871/2, Hans Jr. (15) and his younger brother Joseph (12) were planting and harvesting wheat on acreage set aside for them. Hans Sr. writes of Hans Jr.s' first marriage to Marianne Lund in 1875 & 2nd marriage to Mary Agnes Braithwaite in 1878.
(1875) In September on the 17th Hans Dinesen, Jr. and Mariane Lund got married because she came home on the 13th very sick and they had been engaged for a long time. She got worse and on the 25th of the same month she died, which was very tragic for him and her parents.
(1878) On November 7th I baptized 10 girls and 2 boys in the Hot springs and I assisted in the confirmations. I baptized and confirmed Mary Agnes Bredvei (Braithwaite) and on the 8th Bishop Rid ordained Hans to elder and married him and Agnes Bredvei (Braithwaite), after which they drove to St. George. They were in the temple on the 26th, 27th, and 28th doing baptisms, endowments and sealings for Mariane and themselves.
Mary Agnes and Hans, homesteaded a 60 acre farm West of Sterling Utah, near the Gunnison Reservoir and the D&RGW Railroad line where they raise a large family of 11 children.
Hans Jr. died in Sterling Utah, 5 November 1927,
