LIFE STORY OF HANS HENDRICK AND ANNA KATHRINE MIKKELSEN [A more detail account of life as it was for grandma & grandpa Hansen written by Joan Lish] Hans Hendrick was born 13 Oct 1852 in Frobjerg, Denmark to Ole and Marie Hansen. Han's home was a little cottage consisting of 4 rooms, I room for the family, a stable for the cow, a sty for the pig, and a barn for the hay. Hans helped with the care of the animals and worked in the fields. He spent a lot of time working on the farm of his grandfather Nielson. Hans was 15 years old when his father Ole joined the Church. This made it very hard for the family. The neighbors trying to teach them a lesson ridiculed them so much and left them without employment and nearly starving. Hans felt a little ashamed to think his parents.had joined a church that was so unpopular. Hans chose to stay in Denmark while his parents joined the Latter-Day-Saints in America. Hans received employment with Mikkel Hansen, who was a well to do farmer. He married his daughter Anna Kathrine Mikkelsen. Anna was barn 16 April 1855. Anna was I a little gal 5' 3", light complexed, blue eyes and blond hair, where Hans was 5' 7", dark brown hair and brown eyes. In 1883 Han's father, Ole Hansen, came back to his native land as a missionary for his Church. When he saw Hans, they embraced each other with tears of joy and Ole had the joy of baptizing Hans and Anna Kathrine, 13 Jan 1884. Hans was confirmed by H. J. Brown, 14 Jan 1884 and Anna was confirmed by Ole Hansen, 14 Jan 1884. At this time John their oldest son was baptized 9 Aug 1884. Hans and A nna started a tradition in their family to baptize all their children on their 8th birthday a date they would never forget. By this time Johannes was born 8 Jun 1874 and died 21 Jul I874. John, 9 Aug 1876, Andrew, 7 Sep 1878, Olga, 7 Dec 1880, and Hans Peter, 16 Sep 1883. As Hans and Anna prepared to come to America, Anna took ill and the use of her limbs became impaired. The neighbors taunted her, saying this had happened to her because she had joined those awful Mormons. Anna's parents and other members of the family were very much displeased and fought against her joining the church and most of all coming to America. At the end, her family disowned her. Such a very sad experience and Anna never heard from her parents and family again. Sigrid, a cousin in Denmark said, Grandma's parents were well off in Denmark. Hans was very spiritually strong and was dedicated to the Church of Jesus Christ of LDS. They sold all they had except what they needed for the trip. Ole and Marie helped financially. Danish or coin spent for steamship: 297.00 for Hans, 297.00 for Anna,148 for John, 50 for Andrew, 50 for Olga, and 10 for Hans Peter all total $852.00. Danish crowns $0.268 in U.S. money about 27 cents in. U.S. Aarhus Emigration record dated June 9, 1884. Sat. June 14,1884 the steamship Arizona sailed from Liverpool, with 531 Saints, including 25 returning missionaries in charge of Ephraim H. Nye. Hans and Anna had quite an experience coming to America. Hans was sea sick and Hans Peter bawled all the way coming over. Hans, Anna and family arrived in Smithfield, Utah June .29 1884. Ole and Marie must of taken Hans & Anna around to the different lands they could homestead. Can you imagine seeing Mink Creek nestled in the foothills of the Wasatch Mountains(15 miles north east of Preston, Idaho) rolling hills and mountain streams running through the valleys. It was probably fall with the gorgeous colors of red, yellow and green. Most delightful was finding nearly all Scandi navians speaking Danish, praying and singing Danish. Families scattered for a distance of ten miles up and down the streams, with exception of narrow strips of bottom Iands along the creek. The farms are situated on the sloped of mountains. Hans and Anna could see dry farmimg, dairying, lumbering, sheep, cattle ranching and poultry raising. You, could almost hear them say this looks like the Swiss Alps. They have a general store and blacksmith shop. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day-Saints is there and a ward is completely organized. They meet in a log meeting house 24 X 18 feet dirt roof and slabs were used for benches. In a grove of trees a large clearing about fifty feet square, here the people would gather in the summer time to celebrate the holidays. On one side there was a platform about three feet high were the fiddler would sit and play for dances. The seats were made.of slabs held up with pegs legs. They would dance in the opening on the ground. The settlers danced mostly square dances. The parents would teach their children how to dance. The children played games such as foot and an half, baseball, gathering nuts in May, prisoner base, hide and go seek, leap frog and some horse racing. The celebration wasn't with out something to eat, each family brought something and put it on the same long table and each helped himself. Frequently there were basket lunch socials which was fun for the ladies if the right person bought her lunch. It seemed like that by 1885 Mink Creek was just now prepared for families. May 17, 1884 the Logan Temple was dedicated. June 1, 1884 the Oneida Stake of the Mormon Church which included Mink Creek, Franklin, and the northern part of Cache Valley was organized. The gold rush men were gone. The trappers and traders left the streams almost free from fur bearing animals. The herds of buffalo were gone from the valley, also, the great herds of elk and deer were gone. The grizzly bear had been killed in great numbers, so.that few were seen by the settlers. After the battle.with the Indians at Bear River the Indians learned that the settlers were there permanently and after respected the White man. There was a saw mill that was operated with water power that sawed 1000 feet of lumber each twelve hours. The settlers were able to receive a little money from the sale of butter, eggs and vegetables which were sold to the Smith Tie Contract Company and the men who drove cattle over the Lander Trail going east. Seven irrigation ditches were made by 1882. A railroad close by since 1878. The school district was established in 1882. A weekly mail delivery was made to the community. A North Star Woolen Mill that Apostle Snow had dedicated to all because it was said that it was not right that there should be just one rich man in the community or even 3 or 4. There were sego lilies that could be dug and the roots eaten and roots looked like onion sets that could be dried. You had to know which ones were OK and which were poison. There were acres of delicious wild strawberries, chockcherries, service berries, and in the canyons were very choice wild rasberries, thimble berries, currents, huckleberies, goose- berries and elderberries, all really made delicious jelly and fruit. The country had enough wild game, deer, elk, bear and moose for the settlers food. Also wild chickens, prairie chickens, wild ducks and wild geese. These things made the place almost a garden of Eden for the early families. March 26, 1885 Hans and Anna were married in the Logan Temple and also their children John, Andrew, Olga and Hans Peter were sealed to them for time and throughout eternity. This same month they moved all their belongings to Mink Creek, Idaho to homestead (the farm where Burnell Baird lives). Hans built a log home 14' x 16' with a dirt floor and dirt roof. The cracks of the home were plastered with clay and chaff. They mixed the chaff with the clay to make it hold together. The dirt roof was made with poles or strong willows laid across the rafters then a good layer of straw was put over the willow than dirt on the straw. The home had a stove, homemade furniture, straw-filled mattresses adorned the beds. No electricity only coal oil lamps and homemade candles. Water was carried in from a nearby spring. They had the advantage of plenty of good water even in the latter part of the summer when other mountain streams get very low the main feeder of Mink Creek has an unusually large spring gushing out from under a high rock at the foot of the higher mountains. That spring was a very busy time for Anna and Hans and family in addition to building their home they had to cultivate the land and sow their seeds. They started out with sheep and cows. The women sheared the sheep and Anna took care of the wool. She washed it, carded it, spun it, knitted and made it into clothing for her family. John age 9 and Andrew age 7, I'm sure they worked hard in the fields. I suppose Hans was disappointed when he found out how extremely hard it was to irrigate rolling hills. I can imagine John and Andrew enjoying the sport of fishing. They used the tall thin birch willows for poles, which were found in the near by swampy places. They made their line out of thread twisted and braided together. They didn't get fish leaders like they get today. They'd braid little thin wire and twist.the hook on this end. There was so many fish then that they'd try to beat each other to the hook to get it. The people would catch grasshoppers, angleworm, and crabs for bait. There were lots.of crab in little rock shelves in the creek. Broken up made very good bait.. Probably Hans taught his boys to trap animals and snare wild game. They had to fence their hay stacks in or the rabbits would come and eat their hay. The hay stacks were fenced with brush and willows and a hole was made where the rabbit could go in. A wire with a loop on it was set and the rabbit would stick his head through the loop an
