Christensen, Ole, farmer, Spencer. Was born in Denmark on the 14th day of May 1856. He lived in that country until 1881, when, realizing that he could better himself in this land-where every man is a nobleman-he set out for this country. He landed at New York in June 1881, and, hearing of the fertile fields of Iowa, he came to Clay county and purchased the west one-half of the southwest quarter section 4, Spencer township, all of which is under excellent state of cultivation. His buildings etc., are very good. He was married in 1884 to Nettie Larson. They have two children: Louie and Nellie.
