Provenance |
According to the inscription on the back, this photograph is of Mrs. and Pastor Juhl. The word "Dagmar" is written as well, which could refer the girl in the photograph, but more likely refers to Dagmar, Montana as some of the other photographs in the accession were taken there. Mrs. Kirsten Hansen was called "Old Grandmother Hansen" in Greenville, Michigan, where she died at the age of 102 years on January 13, 1941. She was born March 30, 1839 in Lolland, Denmark, and baptized and confirmed in Nappelund Church. She married Hans Jorgen Hansen in 1864. He was drafted in the war with Germany, was captured by that country, and was freed at the end of the war. They immigrated to the United States in 1873. From Portland, Maine, they moved to Muskegon, Michigan where they were charter members of the first Danish Lutheran Church. The couple had five children. Hans died in 1899. After his death Kirsten moved with her daughter to Grand Rapids, and then to Greenville in 1925. There was a celebration of Kirsten's 100th birthday, with letters from President Roosevelt and other politicians as well as clergy members. She died after a short illness. Both Kirsten and Hans are buried in Muskegon. (See file for more about Mrs. Hansen.) |
