Provenance |
This was made by Hans Jørgen Nelsen (Nielsen), an immigrant from Langeland, Denmark. He gave it to his daughter Anna (later Mrs. Albert Hansen of Harlan, IA). H.J. Nelsen ws the maternal grandfather of Bishop Edward A. Hansen, one of the donors. Hans Jørgen Nelsen (Nielsen) immigrated to the U.S. from Langeland, Denmark. His daughter's name was Anna, and she became Mrs. Albert Hansen of Harlan, IA. Hans was the maternal grandfather of Edward, the donor. Hans immigrated with his new bride Marie Martine Hansen in 1873. They had been married in Simmerbølle church on April 8, 1873, and left for the U.S. shortly thereafter. They settled first among some Swedish immigrants in Ishpeming, MI. Two years later they moved to another Swedish colony at Galesburg, IL. In 1881, the family moved to Lincoln, NE, where they remained for the remainder of their lives. The home address was 2106 M Street. They helped to organize Vor Frelsers (Our Savior's) Danish Lutheran Church located at 23rd and N Streets in Lincoln. H.J. died in 1928. Hans' name was apparently Nielsen first and later the family changed it to Nelsen. Hans made the sewing box/clamp for his oldest daughter Anna. She married a graduate of the University of Nebraska, Albert Hansen, in Lincoln in 1900. Albert was the oldest son of another immigrant couple, Jens and Maren Stine Hansen of Elk Horn (Jens in on the WOH). The couple then moved to Harlan, IA. Albert died in 1943. Anna later moved to Salem Old People's Home in Elk Horn, and died in 1956. |
