"Rasmus Hansen and Karen Hanson Mitlien were married on April 11, 1874 at the Swedish Lutheran Church in Moline, Illinois, although Rasmus was Danish and 17-year-old Karen Norwegian. Rasmus had previously been married twice. His second marriage was to Karen’s older sister, Maria, who died in childbirth."

"Here we see a group of Elk Horn residents sitting in the backyard home of Rasmus and Karen (née Hansen) Hansen at Easter 1919. Their home, seen in the background, is the present site of the Shelby County State Bank. Pictured left to right: Karen Hansen, niece Mamie Hansen Eng, Rasmus Hansen, Eric Eng, an unidentified gentleman, grand-niece Bessie Hansen, and niece Elsie Hansen. The ladies’ hats may have been created by Maren Friis, a Danish immigrant from Vamdrup, Ribe Co., who advertised her millinery services in the local newspaper before the Easter holiday."

PART 1 Part 1 is about the first emigrants who left around 1850, thus paving the way for the many who followed in later years. They were poor farm workers and Mormons, who were driven across the Atlantic by lack of opportunity and, for the Mormons, harassment. At that time the journey was by sailing ship and took several months. For the Mormons, it took over half a year, as they also had to the make the longer trip to Salt Lake City.
