| Notes |
- Lars Peter Hansen was born in Halenslev, Denmark, the eldest child of Lars and Maria Larsen Hansen. He and his family joined the L.D.S. Church when he was very young. His father was the village tailor so they must not have had too much money. Nevertheless, he determined that his family would come to Zion. They all ended up in Mantua where they went into business herding milk cows for the community. They took them to the canyons north of Mantua. One day while herding the cattle Peter told of watching a wagon caravan crossing the canyon. They were laden with a baptismal font and the four oxen to hold it up. These were on their way to the new temple in Logan. Shortly after this they joined a wagon train heading for Idaho. It was no doubt at that time he first set eyes upon the small daughter of Christen and Maren Mickelsen. These two families and the Jens Swensens all settled in Gentile Valley. It was here years later that Peter began courting Taya Mickelsen and married her March 1, 1894.
Bud and Dorothy remember how good Grandpa Hansen was to them. At Christmas there was a little purse with 100 pennies. Dorothy remembers she and Phil sitting on his lap and learning to play pinochle. Grandpa told Dorothy she had to bid to win and we still see her bid on every hand. She remembers her and Phil staying with Grandma one time when they got into an argument and Phil was cut. Una and Grandma were so angry Dorothy and Phil ran away. Dorothy remembers Grandpa coming after them and buying them an ice cream cone to smooth things over. Bud remembers driving the header box for Grandpa and Grandpa bought him his first Stetson hat. They remeber Grandpa always loving and caring for them and givng them little treats. (From Bud and Mary Ann Hansen)
Dorthea (Taya) Mickelsen was born 21 November 1872 in Huntsville, Utah. the second child of Christen and Maren Anderson Mickelsen. They were one of the couples sent by Brigham Young to settle Huntsville. One of her first recollections of any thing of importance was when a neighbor came rushing to the door in tears with the news that "Brother Brigham is dead". She remembered her mother snatching up her baby sister Helmar, and rushing to the next neighbor with the news with a frightened Taya holding on to her skirts for dear life. Brigham Young was dead and the news spread like wildfire around the settlement. The cabins were built around a square at the center of Huntsville. Shortly after this, Taya, along with her family and others, moved to Idaho where they settled in Gentile Valley on what is now the Louis Bitton ranch. This was about 1878.
As soon as Taya was old enough she began working for other families who need help. By doing this she learned early the value of a dollar and hard work.
She was married to Lars Peter Hansen on 1 March 1894 at Lago. They had eight children: twins who died shortly after birth, two sons and four daughters, Alfred Peter, Emil Martin , Clara Molene, Ella Leona, Mary Edna, and Una May. Alfred was the oldest and Emil the youngest.
Pete bought the farm owned by Pete Lund and built a cabin there for his bride. The cabin was moved from another spot along the creek north of the present home in Lago. The logs were numbered on the cabin before it was dismantled, after which it was moved to the site prepared for it. It was then assembled again using the numbers on the logs to get the right ones in the right place. It still stands on the farm in Lago.
Six children were born in that cabin which had two rooms. Pete and Taya decided they needed more room so they built another home about a block straight east of the little cabin on the the site where the present Hansen home stands now. The two youngest children were born in the new home.
Pete and Taya worked hard to build up their farm. Coyotes were abundant and preyed on their sheep and cattle. Squirrels swarmed over their crops. Taya tells of battling squirrels with poison and she said they seemed to flourish rather than die out. Two growing boys who were sharpshooters with rifles soon made the coyotes keep their distance and along with the poison, soon made a dent in the squirrel population. Things soon began to get better and a bit easier and their perservance paid off.
Pete suffered a stroke and passed away at the age of 75. He was buried in the Lago cemetary.
Taya lived on another eighteen years to continue being the family focal point. She died November 23, 1958 at the age of 86. She was buried at her husband's side in the Lago cementery. Gems of Our Valley 1977 pg 391-392.
