Chris Christensen, a native of Den-
mark, died at Elk Horn at two o'clock
Thursday morning at the home of his
daughter, Mrs. Nels Hansen, death

age. Deceased was eighty years old.

At the time Mr. Christensen came
to America from Denmark forty-six
years ago, he settled in the Elk Horn
vicinity, and for many years farmed
east of Elk Horn. He once moved to
Atlantic where he lived for a few
years and then returned to the farm
later retiring and moving to Elk
Horn where he had lived for the last
ten years. His wife died last spring.
One child, the daughter, Mrs. Hansen,
survives. He also leaves a sister, Mrs.
Andrew Johnson, Pingree, S. D., and

east of Elk Horn. There are several
grandchildren.
