Jorgen Bogh Carlsen, a son of Carl Bogh Jorgensen and wife Jorgene Larsdatter Jorgensen, was born at Lindelse, Langeland, Denmark, on January 9th, 1845. He was baptized on February 23, 1845 and confirmed on April 14, 1859.
Mr. Carlsen came to the United States of America in 1864 and worked at his trade, that of carpentering, in and near Eau Claire, Wis., for about six years.
Then he made a visit to his mother and sisters in Denmark. Returning to the United States again early in 1870, accompanied by his wife and his sister, Anne. They first made their home at Lanesboro, Minn., and later came to St. Ansgar, Iowa, where Mrs. Carlsen soon died after a long severe illness of typhoid fever.
After a while Mr. Carlsen made another trip to Denmark and returned with another bride. Hansine Jensen Carlsen, who was in all ways a dutiful and faithful helpmate. She departed this life in the year 1910.
Four daughters were born to this union; Mrs. Margareth Carlsen Murray of Van Hook, N.D., Mrs. Julia Carlsen Jorgensen of St. Ansgar, Iowa, Mrs. Marie Carlsen Hansen, who died in 1911 at St. Ansgar, Iowa, Dr. M. Elise Carlsen of Santa Barbara, Calif.
Mr. Carlsen became naturalized as promptly as possible, and was a law-abiding citizen, much interested in the world's economic situation even after his illness.
Mr. Carlsen was a man of his word, a firm believer in industrious habits and careful expenditure.
He was fond of travel while his health permitted it and besides crossing the ocean several times made four trips to California, the last one being in November, 1922, since which time he has not been back to Iowa.
In February, 1924, Mr. Carlsen and daughter, Elise, settled in Santa Barbara, California. Here he had a cerebral hemorrhage on the afternoon of August 12. He retained his power of speech, and his mental clearness was unusual practically the entire seven weeks and during that time his patience and appreciation of all attentions lightened the labor of those caring for him.
The pastor made his last visit about fourteen hours before death came and tho Mr. Carlsen was very weak, he made an effort to express his gratitude for the offered prayer.
His condition varied from day to day, he being apparently much stronger occasionally. The left side of his body was paralyzed and he complained of considerable pain upon being moved. He failed very rapidly the last forty-eight hours and slept quietly away into eternity at 1:30 the morning of October 1, 1924.
He is survived by three daughters, eight grandchildren, six great grandchildren and three sisters; Mrs. Christine Aagesen of St. Ansgar, Mrs. Anna Golberg of St. Paul, and Mrs. Marie Bendixsen of Milwaukee.
Those present from a distance for the funeral were Mrs. Margaret Murray of Van Hook, N.D., M. Elise Carlsen of Santa Barbara, Calif., Mrs. Anna Golberg of St. Paul, and Mrs. Hannah Christiansen of St. Paul.
