My sister Sofie

My oldest sister was born on the 4th of October 1827 and her name was Ane Sophie Hemmingsdatter. She wasn't very tall but she did have a very mature appearance. She was heavier set but of good health. She did leave the home for a few year in order to work. In the year 1851, when she was 24 years old she was married to our neighbor, a farmer named Ole Gabrielsen and became stepmother to eight children of whom two were older than her. They had another four children together of which the first three died in infancy. However, the fourth, a son whose name was Niels Jørgen Olsen, survived and prospered. He got married, got himself a farm in Vallebo, had several children and died on the 24th of March in 1905. Sofie's first husband died in 1859. After having been a widow for about a year she got remarried to a 36 year old bachelor. His name was Hans Petersen and hailed from Baarup in Stevns Township. They had three children together and all of them survived. Hans Petersen died in the year 1875.

My sister Maria

My second oldest sister was born on the 6th of August in 1830 and her name was Ane Maria Hemmingsdatter. She was of average size, had a portly build and while she wasn't sickly she certainly wasn't in the best health either. This may also have been the reason why she was so quiet and kept to herself and didn't care much for any leisure activities. However, that could also have had something to do with the fact that she was a bit hard of hearing. She never went to work for anyone. When she was 35 years of age she married a widower, a farmer named Frederick Hansen. Thereby becoming stepmother to five children that all had come of age and had left their ancestral home. Her husband died in 1865 and after she had been a widow for a little over a year she married her nephew Hans Jensen who was from Tårøje. They had no children together and she died in 1901. Hans Jensen died on the 12 of October 1915.
