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."
