Biographical Narrative:
Nels J. Hansen was born in Denmark. Little is known about his childhood. He
came to the USA in his early teens. He became a carpenter and millwright. He
moved to the Spokane, WA area and worked to construct the first flour mill in
that area. Later he and his family moved to North East Oregon and settled in
the Flora, Wallowa and Lostine area. He operated the post office and store in
Lostine for several years. He died at the home of his daughter, Ethe,l in Salem,
Oregon.

Information received from KLV who received letter from Landsarkivet for Sjaelland M. M., "In reply to your letter of June 6 to Haerens Arkive, we can inform you that Niels Jorgen Hansen was born 22 Oct 1867 in the parish of Bjernede (County of Soro). His mother was Maren Hansen and the putative father was Hans Iversen who lived in the village of Fuldby (parish of Bjernede). He was brought up by his maternal grandfather, Hans Christensen who was a carpenter in the village of Ebberup (parish of Bjernede). He immigrated 25 August 1885 having Lamar in Missouri as his destination. Consequently Hans Peter Nielsen was not the father of Niels Jorgen Hansen. We have found a Hans Peter Nielson who was baptized in the church of Alsted (County of Soro) 13 January 1847. He was a son of a smallholder, Niels Christensen, and immigrated to the united States between 1868 and 1870."

14 Sept 2004: The Vineland Cemetery in Clarkston WA is not in the best of shape. While the grass and weeds are kept mowed, over time it has been allowed to grow over the stones. Consequently, in some cases it is difficult to determine the names on the stones unless they are upright stones. A man at the Lewis Clark Memorial Cemetery told us that the Vineland Cemetery is in trouble financially.
