Mrs. Nygaard was born July 1, 1892 at Nibe [Ribe], Denmark to Peter and Juliane Nielsen Rindsig. She came to this country and was married to Chris A. Nygaard on March 6, 1941 [?] at Newell.

Mr. and Mrs. Nygaard came to the Spencer community 1928 and were members of Bethany Lutheran Church.

Following a period of failing health, Mrs. Nygaard made her home at St. Luke’s Home for about one and one half years. A setback made it necessary to enter the Palo Alto Hosptial where she died July 24.

Survivors include two sons, Julian and Norman; two daughters, Mrs. Everett (Kathryn) Kirby of Council Bluffs and Mrs. Francis (Betty) Ellis of Emmetsburg; eight grandchildren and one great grandchild; two sisters, Mrs. Petrine Koruberg and Mrs. Matea Schau both still residing in Denmark.
