He came to this region practically without means enough to buy a team of oxen with which to start farming, and by energy and thrift has become one of the solid and substantial men of the county, gaining also the high esteem and respect of his fellowmen by his honesty and loyalty to the best interests of his county and state. Mr. Sorensen is treasurer of school district number sixty-six. Mr. Sorensen was born in Denmark, on March 26, 1851, to of Soren and Karn (Larkins Daughter) Ericksen, who had a family of seven. The mother died in Denmark in 1867, and the balance of the family, except Hans, came to America about 1870. Two years later, he came over, locating at first in Chicago, and spent about one year in and near that city, then went to Michigan. He was married in Chicago on May 2, 1873, to Hannah Andersen, she being a native of his birthplace, and coming to America in the same year. Mr. Sorensen located in Manistee county, Michigan, in 1873, and remained in that vicinity for five years, working in the lumber camps, etc. In the fall of 1878, the family came to Howard county, joining Mr. Sorensen, senior, at Nysted, where three brothers and two sisters also were located. About the first of the following year Hans took a homestead on section twenty, township fourteen, range twelve, which he has made his home place since that time. Two brothers, Chris and Paul reside in the same neighborhood, and all are industrious and thrifty farmers, and the three form the only remaining members of the once large family. To Mr. and Mrs. Sorensen have been born six children, two coming to them in Michigan and the rest born in Howard county. They are named as follows: George, Minnie, Victor, Karn, Soren, and Herman, all married except Victor and Soren, and all making their home in Nebraska. info courtesy of Lenise Cook (#47504439)
