Hans Madsen Ries was born in Denmark in 1860. He arrived in NZ in 1886, having decided to take up missionary work. Shortly after his arrival he was ordained and given charge of Norsewood and Dannevirke. In 1887 he married Kirsten Lauridsen, also a Dane. Pastor Ries became a prominent local businessman and took a leading part in public affairs in the Hawkes Bay region. He continued his involvement in the Lutheran Church in the area until his death in 1926, and held the office of President of the Evangelical Lutheran Emmanuel Convention of NZ for a number of years.
