Description |
Black and white photograph of a family lined up in two rows outside a house. The house is visible on the viewer's left - light-colored clapboard with a window that is partially hidden by a large vine behind the group. The front row begins at the viewer's left with a young child dressed in a light colored outfit - long-sleeved and knee-length with dark stockings and shoes. The child is leaning on the first woman, proper left arm on her lap. Three women comprise the remainder of that row, each in dark dresses, ankle length. The woman next to the child has sleeves at her elbows; the other two have long sleeves. The woman in the middle has her arms crossed over her chest. It may be a three generation row - oldest at the right, next at the middle, younger at the left, and then the child. The back row consists of four men, all in suits and ties. The man on the viewer left is holding a young child in a light-colored long-sleeved outfit and dark stockings and shoes. There are handwritten numbers on each person on their proper left shoulders or arms, with the exception of the young child in the back row. That number is on the right arm which is facing the camera. The photo is attached to dark brown matteboard. There are impressed border lines around the image. On back are several handwritten notes. Large and in pencil at the top center is "Nels Hoogensen / No. 2". Across the "No. 2" is written in blue ink: "Ole H. Jacobsen Niels A. Hansen Ole J. Hansen Nels Hoogensen Dale Hoogensen / Mrs. Jacobsen Sophia Hansen Lena Hoogersen Earl Hoogensen". Along the bottom edge near the left is written in blue "Dallas Hansen" (the donor). Just above that, in the lower left corner, is a white label with "501" written in its upper right corner. Over the rest of the label is: "Back - / Nels Hoogensen, Dale Hoogensen (child) / Ole J. Hansen, Niels A. Hansen / Ole H. Jacobsen / Front: Lena Hoogensen, Earl / Hoogensen (child), Sophia Hansen, / Mrs. Ole H. Jacobsen". Deciphering these notes, the front row, left to right are: Earl Hoogersen, Caroline "Lena" Hoogersen, Sophia Hansen, Mrs. Ole H. Jacobsen. Back row, left to right are: Dale Hoogensen, Nels Hoogensen, Ole J. Hansen, Niels A. Hansen, Ole H. Jacobsen. |

Provenance |
Niels A. Hansen is the son of Anders Hansen and married to Sophia. Ole J. Hansen is Niels' and Sophia's son. Ole H. and Mrs. Jacobsen are the parents of Sophia. Caroline "Lena" Hoogensen is the daughter of Niels and Sophia, and sister to Ole J. Hansen. Lena's husband is Nels Hoogensen and their children are Earl and Dale. Hans Andersen Hansen and Niels Andersen Hansen, sons of Anders Hansen Johansen and Karoline (Caroline Coobs) Koobs, were brothers who emigrated from Denmark to Shelby County, Iowa and settled in the Jacksonville, Kimballton, and Harlan communities. Another brother and two sisters also immigrated though no information is available about them. Niels and Hans built a general store on south main street in Kimballton, but sold it about 1905 to Rasmus P. Larsen, and bought a farm in Jacksonville. Niels Andersen Hansen was born Dec. 28, 1859 in Visby, Tønder, Denmark. He immigrated in 1880 and married Sophia K. Jacobsen (b. May 8, 1865) on May 8, 1885 in Sharon Township, Audubon, IA. The two had three children. Niels was assistant postmaster in Kimballton, IA to Hans J. Jorgensen, founder of the town. In 1885, Niels purchased a farm, called the "homeplace," located northwest of Kimballton. In 1916 Niels built a house in Kimballton and retired from the farm. After Sophia died on Jan. 11, 1917, Niels returned to the farm to live with his son Ole J., and then moved to Harlan where he lived for more than 25 years with his daughter Lena. Niels died Jan. 14, 1949, and Sophia on Jan. 11, 1917. Hans Andersen Hansen was born March 12, 1849 in Døstrup, Tønder, Denmark. He immigrated to the U.S. in 1871 and married Christina (Kristina Luisa Heick) Hieck (b. 1859) on April 18, 1879 in Clinton, IA, USA. The two had six children. Hans died in 1938 in Harlan, IA. Niels Andersen Hansen is the donor's grandfather. Niels and Hans are on the Wall of Honor. __________________ Ole Hansen Jacobsen is also documented in these photos. His daughter Sophie married Niels Hansen (above). Ole's son Ole, Jr. started Crystal Springs Creamery in Kimballton and became a State Legislator. Ole Hansen Jacobsen (Sr.) was born Nov. 22, 1833 in Rise, Svendborg, Denmark to parents Christen Jacobsen and Gertrude Olesdatter. He married Sophie Cathrine Pedersen (b. 1835) on Feb. 19, 1858, in Rise, and they immigrated to the U.S. in 1869. The two had seven children. (FHGC research found that one child, Claus Pedersen Jacobsen was born in 1859, but died within a few months. On the 1880 census information, a "Chris Jacobsen" is listed as born in 1859. FHGC researchers feel that this child may have been an illegitimate child or "adopted" by the family since it would be impossible for both Chris and Claus to be born the same month and year if they were not twins.) In 1875, Ole (Sr.) and Sophie moved to the home in Kimballton, south and west of town and west of the brick yard. Ole died on his farm there on Nov. 1, 1916. His wife Sophie had passed away June 7, 1914. |
