Anton Juhl Hansen was born June 13, 1923, in Moorhead, Iowa, the son of Anton and Sigrid (Hansen) Hansen. He was raised in the Moorhead area and graduated from Moorhead Public School. Except for a few years in Omaha and California, he was a lifetime resident of Moorhead.

He retired from the blacksmith shop in 1985, but stayed very busy with his many interests and hobbies. He loved trees and had planted many in the community. He loved his community and was truly a man of the outdoors, spending his time fishing, boating, water skiing, RVing and doing photography.
