• Notes

  His son, Erik Hansen, wrote: "Johannes Morch-Hansen DOB: 1-27-98 POB: Nykobing, Sjealand, Denmark - Only child of Morten Jorgen Hansen and Johanna Christina Albrectsen. Attended Law School for two years then went into import/export business venture with friends. Went to China in 1920 in connection with the business; however, shortly after he arrived in China the business had failed. His father sent him money to live on until he finally secured employment with the Texas Oil Company (TEXACO). When he was working in Manchuria he visited a friend of his in Harbin, China, who rented quarters in my maternal grandfather's house. He met my mother there and three months later they were married - on 2/4/25. He continued his career as a businessman traveling to many countries. He was conversational in most of the languages of the countries where he was posted, including Chinese, Russian, Danish, Dutch, Japanese, German, some French, and English. He had 3 children, the oldest died at three years old of dysentery. He died on 6/28/80 on a trip to Copenhagen, Denmark, of pneumonia. He is survived by his two children, Eva May Fenton and Erik Morch-Hansen." Email from Erik Hansen, erik790@comcast.net, to Wm. C. Snouffer (21 Mar 2009).
