Hi
The third Hans Larson is very interesting! Not only is he born in the correct month: January; but he immigrated 1893.
There is a personal note telling that Hans A.Larsen worker aged 28 travelled from Eiker to New York with the ship Kong Bjørn on May 20, 1893. I have not been able to verify this and I don't know where this information was found.
A Brother of Hans Andreas named Martin (b. oct 1873) was on a visit in Minnesota from around 1902 to 1906.
I don't know if Hans Andreas had a Brother named Ole, but Larsen is a very common name.
Are you able to find more information about Hans Larson in Belmont, Traill, North Dakota?

Hi
A great find!  Thank you so much!
He was single in 1910 - wonder if he married later? |

| A Hans Larsen took an orginal homestead in Beltrami county, Minnesota in 1905, located about 3 miles south of Kelliher, Minnesota. Don't know for sure if it belongs to your guy but might be worth investigating. |

Well, there is a Hans Larson marriage in Beltrami at MOMS:
BELTRAMI D/021 05/02/1910 LARSON, HANS ANDERSON, INGA KARLINE
But don't have enough info to know if this Hans is yours or not. Now I do, here is this couple in the 1920 census:

Hi
Sad ending, yes.
Does Poor farm cemetery mean that this was a cemetery for poor farmers or is it only the name of the cemetery?
Looks like he never married.
Thank you so much for all Your help! |

Poor farms were a social services delivery system in the 1800s to about 1930. Poor folk who were already on the dole or who needed hospital services were placed on these farms and expected to work if able in exchange for their keep. Hans probably needed help, if his heart was weakened, that might only be available through the county social services. Sometimes there were county hospitals associated with the poor farms and because lots of folks were at the poor farm for their last hurrah cemeteries were also part of the package. |

Author Cecelia Wattles McKeig has written a book about the Beltrami County Poor Farm; available for sale online.
When Jackie says residents were put to work if able, that was usually the kind of work a person of that era might do routinely at home. The poor farms had gardens and orchards and grew as much of their own food as possible. Some one had to cook and do the dishes and clean the hallways and so on. Resisents did as much as possible themselves. The county taxpayers also contributed money. The community had a way to help those in need, and so in a sense Hans had the local community's care in the last few months of life, when he seemingly was ill,and seemingly without spouse or children. I don't like to think of him alone in the country too ill to properly care for himself. We don't know the particulars of his situation, but as a resident at the farm or in hospital there, he was not alone ; he was receiving care.
The Minnesota Historical Society (mnhs.org) has Beltrami Poor House files in its archives. MnHS also has Minnesota death records. You can order Hans's record; it should tell how long he had been ill.
A Minnesota project called Remembering with Dignity has worked to ensure those buried in pauper's graves or institutional cemeteries have been remembered with a grave marker, paid for and donated by local volunteers. Probably or possibly this organization has addressed the needs of the Beltrami Co Poor House cemetery. |
