  General Notes:

Emigrated from Sweden to New York in 1880. Moved to Wayne, Kansas whe re brother Olof Englund and his family lived. There is information i n the Wayne Register 1885-1887 editions and the Wayne Journal, 1909-19 10 editions, on Hans Hansson and Hans Englund, who we believe was thes ame person.

The first reference I found to Hans Englund was in the Wayne Register , 01 Aug 1885, when Victor Alquist of Clay Center, Kansas visited theE nglund family.

The Wayne Register of 13 June 1885, said that Hanson & Campbell signe d 62 head of fine hogs to Kansas City, Wednesday. This same paper als o mentions that an Atlas of Republic County, showing the entire count y in Townships, sections, half and quarter sections. Giving the nameo f every man owning a foot of land in the County, and where his land i s situated. All the Railroads, towns, rivers, creeks, etc. (KS Histor ical Society, Kansas Collection, Microfilm W 2704)

Wayne Register, 20 Feb 1886, an ad was placed -- Mr. H. Hanson (Englun d), dealer in coal, is always on hand and ready to receive orders forc oal. He handles several kinds of coal, different grades and different prices to suit his custom. If you go to his coal bin and borrow coal , he never says a word (if he don't find it out). Mr. Hanson is hones t and straightforward with all his customers, and is as willing to acc ommodate you as any man. (This ad appeared in the 29 Sept 1887 issue of the Wayne Register, which was the last issue on the microfilm from Republic County Historical Society) (KS Historical Society, Kansas Collection, Microfilm W 2704)
