Biography
Hanna was the fourth of six daughters, but two died at a young age. She was born in 1850 and grew up in Sweden. At age 14 she was baptized. Within a year her father passed away, which led to Hanna and her family farming to provide for themselves. At 16 she immigrated to Utah with her mother, uncle, aunt, and sisters. Five years later she married a recent widower, James Peter Mickelsen. They had one son together and moved to Idaho, Hanna spent the rest of her life with James until she passed in 1919 at age 69.
