My parents, Andreas and Anna Lind Andersen, were both born in said county, my father May 6, 1829 and my mother May 4, 1836. They were simple farm folk with only a common school education. My paternal grandfather, Hans Andersen, was born February 1797 {#1} in Frovup Stepping County. He served his time as a solder in Copenhagen and in Reushwig. He died in the spring of 1861 {#2} at the age of seventy four. My grandmother, Christine Christinsen Anderson, was born July ____, 1805 {#3} in Farm [? Tarm ?], West Jutland. She emigrated from there when she was a young girl and came to Frovup, where she later married my grandfather. She died in August 1881 {#4} at the age of 76. When I was two years of age, my parents moved up on my grandparents farm in Tyrstrup County. Here on this lovely little farm, I was raised to be a farmer ---- Although I didn't have the privilege to go to school as regular as other boys, I acquired however a fair common school education. When I was sixteen years old, my parents sold the old homestead in 1880 {#5} and the whole family emigrated to the United States of America. My father died June 3, 1891 {#6} in Clinton, Iowa and my mother died October 29, 1912 in Hot Springs Hospital, Montana {#7}. August 17, 1886 I was married to Marie Mommine Nielsen, daughter of Peter Christian Nielsen and Lucie Jessen Nielsen. After sixteen years of happy married life, my wife died --- You may conclude this Anna. Hans Andersen Notes: #1: Danish church records [Frørup Sogn, Sønder Tyrstrup Herred, Haderslev Amt] show 12 Jan 1798 #2: Danish church records [Tyrstrup Sogn, Sønder Tyrstrup Herred, Haderslev Amt] show 9 May 1870 #3: Danish church records show Kirsten/Kiersten was born in Borris Sogn, Bølling Herred, Ringkøbing Amt in May 1806. Tarm is located less than 5 km south of Borris Sogn. #4: A detailed Danish church record [Tyrstrup Sogn, Sønder Tyrstrup Herred, Haderslev Amt] shows she died on 8 May 1881. She was buried on 16 May. #5: They departed Hamburg on 13 Apr 1881 and arrived in New York on 28 Apr 1881 on board the S.S. Herder. #6: The 7 Jul 1891 issue of the Clinton Weekly Age has a "Deaths Reported" section which reported he died on 2 Jun. #7: Records of the Warm Springs State Hospital, Deer Lodge, Montana shows she died there. ________________________________________________ The following is extracted from an article written by Mrs. Agner (Marie "Sister" Olsen) Hofman for the Roosevelt County Treasured Years* book (1976): Hans Anderson came to Montana from Welton, Iowa in the fall of 1907 with a friend, Pete Hansen, with no intention of settling here. But when he saw the homestead land available he decided to bring his family the following spring. His wife had died four years earlier leaving him with six young daughters. They arrived in Culbertson by train in March, 1908, and filed a claim, NE ¼, 33-20-56 [Note: should be Section 33, Township 30 N, Range 56 E*], adjoining the Pete Hansens, near what is now the town of Froid. At that time however Culbertson was their nearest town. The children first attended school in a bachelor's shack. Later the Rhode school was built one-half mile north of their home. Mr. Anderson and his daughters were members of Ebenezer Lutheran Church. In the late 1930's Mr. Anderson and his daughter, Adele, moved into McCabe where they lived until his death in 1944 at age 80. Two daughters, Anna (Mrs. Ole Olsen) and Freda (Mrs. Sofus Jacobsen) are also deceased. Adele Anderson and Marie (Mrs. Fred Fryhling) are in nursing homes, Lucy (Mrs. P.C. Olsen) and Effie (Mrs. Oscar Hage) live in Culbertson. ________________________________________________
