Mr. and Mrs. Hans Lenning came to the Hannaford vicinity in 1908. She was the former Tillie Aasen and was married in Pennsylvania in 1893.

Hans was a handy man in the area - paper hanging, painting, decorating and carpenter work. He and Olaus Kraag built the former locker plant. He was a great gardener and fisherman.

Six children were born to the Lennings:

Bertha (Mrs. Reir Olgard)

Margaret (Mrs. Oscar Ashland)

Lewis, Tom, Lars and Harry.

His last home in Hannaford was up by the railroads back of the signal tower where his garden was praised by all.
