Niels Andersen was born in Vielsted, Denmark, August 21, 1833, and died at his home 3 miles north of town, Tuesday, February 19, 1907 after over a year's illness.

Deceased was married in Denmark in 1858 to Miss Karen Nielsen. They came to the United States in 1874, coming at once to the Danish settlement.

They were the parents of five children, four of whom with the widow, survives as follows: Peter Nelson, Mrs. Joseph Andersen, and Mrs. Julius Sorenson, of the settlement and Chris Andersen, of Independence.

Mr. Andersen was converted in 1878 and two years later joined the Baptist church, and was ever a consistent Christian. In the death of the husband and father, the bereaved ones have the sincere sympathy of their many friends.

The funeral was held from the Danish Baptist church Thursday at 1:30 P.M. and was largely attended. Rev. Bellman of this place, gave the English sermon, and Rev. J. Christiansen, of Independence followed with a short talk in the Danish language.
