MRS. EMILIE MUMGAARD
DIED LAST SUNDAY

----------
Death Came at Home of her Daugh-
ter, Mrs. Chris Beck; Funeral on
Tuesday Afternoon.

---------

Mrs. Emilie Mumgaard, a native of
Denmark and a resident of Audubon
county since 1905, passed away Sun-
day at the home of her son-in-law
and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Chris
Beck of Hamlin, with whom she had
made her home for three years. Death
came rather suddenly for although
her health had not been the best for
some years, she had been seriously
ill for only two days.

Deceased, whose maiden name was
Emilie Andersen, was born November
3, 1962, in Brost Sogn, Vendyssel,
Denmark, where she spent the days of
her childhood and youth. In 1883
she was married to Jens Mumgaard
and came to Audubon with her hus-
band and family about 21 years ago.
Mr. Mumgaard's death occurred in
1913, following which Mrs. Mumgaard
made her home with her daughter,
Mrs. Chirs Jensen of this place, for
seven years, then with her daughter,
Mrs. Beck at Hamlin.

Besides the two daughters mention-
ed above, she is survived by a son,
Niels Munksgaard of Audubon. A
daughter, Mrs. Jensine Jacobsen, died
in 1913 and a son, Hans, died at the
age of four years. Also surviving are
21 grandchildren and one greatgrand
child and four sisters. They are Mrs.
Emma Nygaard, Omaha; Mrs. Marie
Duchang, Copenhagen, Denmark; Mrs.
Louise Petersen, Halvrimmen, Den-
mark; Mrs. Nielsen, Lokstor, Den-
mark. One sister, Mrs. Louise Mil-
ler, died some years ago.

Funeral services were held at the
Danish Lutheran church in Audubon
Tuesday afternoon, Rev. Fred C. M.
Hansen officiating. Burial took place
in Maple Grove cemetery.
