- From their son Niels Hansen's memoir "Optegnelser om Mit Levnedsl?b" published in 1925:
My father, Hans Nielsen, born February 22, 1818, was an only child, and I suspect that he failed to receive the proper education which would have benefitted him in later life. He was multi-talented and had a beautiful voice: I remember him best singing patriotic songs for us such as "Sons of the North" and "Little Island on the Shining Sea." But I do not believe he cared too much about farming - probably because he was never made to take part therein. He died young - on November 20, 1859; on his gravestone, Pastor Melbye wrote the following: "As a loving husband and father, honest and faithful friend, he won hearts that will cherish his memory forever."
One of the events which made a strong impression on me during my school-days was a case of murder and robbery - the leader of the gang was the infamous "Boye". They all used to hide out in a fisherman's hut on Baaring beach, and thus often passed right by our home when they ventured out on their nightly expeditions. I remember one dark fall evening when finally the police succeeded in capturing Boye; they brought him to our home until a carriage could be obtained to take him to the Middelfart Jail. While there, I viewed this terrible man with fear in my heart, but he was of a rather handsome and kind appearance, and also was a gifted portrait-painter; many fine portraits can still be found around Gribsvad, where he hailed from. At the time of his arrest he was also accused of counterfeit and during the wait - while everyone was treated to smorgasbord, beer, schnapps and coffee - my father, Hans Nielsen, asked Boye if he could write a five-daler for him, to which Boye answered, "A very easy thing to do, but it's against the law and I do not want to do so, but I will instead perform another trick. To lift a glass of schnapps from the table with my elbows and bring it up to my mouth to drink, if you will grant me it?" The trick was duly performed. Later, the rest of his gang was captured and sentenced to prison; Boye himself was sentenced to hang for murder.
In the summer of 1859 my father, Hans Nielsen, was gravely injured during a carriage-trip -- his right leg was completely shattered. For 17 weeks he suffered in his bed and after an attack of pneumonia he died on November 20, 1859, even though his leg had started to heal perfectly. What made his sickness especially hard to endure was the fact that our doctor, otherwise a renowned physician, did not seem to understand the complexity of the injury. We tried to get the opinion of a couple of other doctors, and they felt the treatment was proper, even though the healing was slow. Finally we asked Kristen Nielsen, a healer from Rold, who had permission to set bones if called right away, but who was not allowed to interfere with a doctor's treatment. We therefore secretly called on him and with his special method, completely different from our doctor's, my father was freed from his great pain and his leg began to mend.
