Biography
Born as the only child of a young couple in Denmark, Sine Nielson lived in her home country for 30 years before immigrating to Utah. She went by Sine Rasmussen once she arrived in US and then married Soren Hansen in 1873 as his second wife. They had one son together and a year later Soren passed away. It is unknown if Sine remarried, but she continued to raise her son, Solomon, in Hyrum, Utah. Sine was known to be good at making rock candy in special patterns. She was considered a very shy, but kind person by those who knew her. In 1915 she passed away at age 76.
