Hans Christian ANDRESEN

                   Emigrated to the U.S.  between 1885 and 1891. He was a convert to the LDS church and settled in Smithfield, Cache, Utah.  He worked in the beet fields thinning and topping beets.  He was a tailor in Denmark and soon  became discouraged working as a farm hand.  He opened up a tailor shop in Ogden, Weber, Utah.   My earliest remembrance of him was visiting him in his tailor shop on 25th st., just west of Grant Ave.  I remember the large tables he sat on to do the hand sewing and the large pressing irons on the stove. He lived on 11th and Grant Ave just below the sandridge which no longer exists.  His front door faced the sandridge and was not very convenient for a front entrance.  The house was quite nice and Grandma Hansen kept it neat and tidy.  The front room was seldom used and I was never allowed to go into their  bedroom, but I had the run of the rest of the house including the kitchen.
