What happened to Johan Adrian the baby of Adrianna and Hans Hansen??

From Grandma’s book, pg. 27

“There are conflicting stories about the fate of this child (Johan Adrian). It is surrounded with mystery and uncertainty. Lester writes that he died at birth and was buried with his Mother. There is no proof of that. I can recall nothing much said about him by my Mother. She told of his birth but not of his death. I never heard him mentioned by the old two aunts that I knew, Hanna and Sophia. It seems to me that I heard once that he died when he was two but that is all.”

The story continues with possibilities of him being adopted and brought to the U.S. by cousins, but from the Norwegian census, birth, christening and death records it seems that this was not so. Amazing how all the pieces fit together and we know “the rest of the story” with the technology of today and lots of genealogists in Norway who have tediously scanned and translated the documents. Also, from the records in Norway, Adrianna (Johan’s mother) did not die until April so she was ill for a few months after his birth and then passed away. Johan did not pass away until October, at the age of 2.

Now we know the real story.
