    In the 1875 Minnesota census, he is 29 year-old Hans Anderson living in Elizabeth Twp, Otter Tail County. Living with him is his 31 year-old wife Castro, and their four children: Anton, 6, Mary, 4, James, 2, and Iver O., 0. The three older children were born in Iowa, Iver was born in Minnesota.

    In the 1880 census, he, as Hans Anderson Toso, lives with his family in Trondhjem Twp, Otter Tail County. Next door on one side is the Torger Toso family. On the other side is the Jens T. Toso family. Hans’s family consists of himself, 30, his wife Gertrude, 38, Anton, 11, Maria, 9, Jens, 7, Ivar, 5, Oline, 2, and Josephine, 3 months.
