From the book - HISTORY OF GOODHUE COUNTY, MN. published in 1909:
Hans H. Danielson, also known in the early days as Hans Henry and Henry Danielson, now deceased, was one of the pioneer settlers of Goodhue township. He was born in Norway, December 18, 1832, and was brought to America by his parents as a boy often years. His education was received in the public schools of Albion, Wis., and in that town he also followed farming, blacksmithing and carpenter work. In 1855, with the influx of Goodhue county immigration, he settled in Goodhue township and took up a government claim of 160 acres, bringing the wild land to a high state of cultivation. Thirteen years later he sold his farm and purchased 160 acres in Belvidere township, where, as before, he carried on general farming and stock raising, also operating an ingenious engine and threshing machine which he built himself. He was supervisor and pathmaster of his township, and a director of school district 32 for many years. He also affiliated with the G. A. R. In his latter years Mr. Danielson was handicapped by the loss of a leg, that member having been wounded by a cannon ball and later amputated during the Civil War, in which terrible conflict he served as a member of Company G, 7th Minnesota Volunteer Infantry. After receiving his wound he was taken to the hospital at Evansville, Ind., and in 1865 was discharged with honor at the cessation of hostilities. Mr. Danielson was married August 17, 1856, to Elizabeth Anderson, who is still living on the old homestead. By this union twelve children were born: Caroline A. is Mrs. M. C. Morgan, of Zumbrota. Hiram B. is a farmer, of Lincoln county, this state. Augustus J. is a farmer, of Lincoln county, this state. Jennie M. is Mrs. H. C. Hanson, of Lincoln county, this state. Minnie C. is deceased. Danene S. is Mrs. N. A. Herrick, of Lincoln county. Wesley R. was killed by a train wreck. Oscar A. is an inventor of considerable note and lives in New York City. Irene E. is a missionary in Ecuador, South America. Ida P. is a missionary in Kansas City, Mo. Sarah E. is dead. Edna H. lives at home. Mr. Danielson died in 1909, sincerely mourned by a large circle of friends to whom he had endeared himself by his sterling qualities. Halvor Danielson and Anna Ingerbretson, his wife, parents of Hans H. Danielson, came to America from Norway in 1842, and ended their days in Jefferson county, Wisconsin. Bjorn and Catherine (Von Krogh) Anderson, parents of Mrs. Hans H. Danielson, came to America from Norway in 1836 and located in Dayton, Ill., where the father worked at his trade as cooper until locating in Dane county, Wisconsin, where he purchased 160 acres, which he cultivated until his death, in 1850. His wife died in 1881. Mrs. Danielson now lives on the old Danielson homestead in Belvidere township, and is well liked for her patient and pleasant disposition.
