Christian Nissen, 1863-1917
Obituary-Nissen
An unassuming and loyal citizen of Osage and one interested in and an active member of the Lutheran church, has passed away in the death of Mr. Christian Nissen. He was born in Borvig, Schleswig, Dec. 31, 1863, and died at the Nissen home in Osage, on Sept. 14, 1917, at the age of 53 years, 8 months, 14 days.
He came to this country with his parents in 1869, and lived in St. Ansgar until 1870, when the family moved on a farm near that town where he grew to manhood. His father died in 1885. The following year the family moved to Osage, where Mr. C. Nissen and his mother have lived ever since, with the exception of going to Chicago to live during the winters from 1888 to 1896, so he has lived in Osage practically thirty-one years.
His father and two brothers, Anton and Martin, have gone before. A niece, Wilhelmina Nissen Canda, died about two years ago. His mother Mrs. Karn Nissen, survives him. A cousin, Mr. Martin Klindt, of St. Ansgar, and others in the old country survive him also.
Mr. Nissen was loved and respected by all who knew him. He was feeble in body, but strong in intellect. He was a patient sufferer and had the best of care. He was a loving son, and a great comfort to his aging mother, who now is left to mourn his loss. They lived together for thirty-two years and had a pleasant home. And all will sympathize with her in her bereavement. His business relations were many and pleasant. He was a true friend and a good counselor.
He was baptized in the old country and confirmed in the German Lutheran church at St. Ansgar. Since he moved to Osage, he has joined the Lutheran church and has always been an active member. He was a cultured and educated man. He had his early education at the St. Ansgar Seminary of which he was a graduate.
The funeral was held Monday morning Sept. 17, 1917. A short service at the home. The main service at the Lutheran church of which he was a member.
He was laid to rest in the Lutheran cemetery at St. Ansgar beside his father and brothers. Rev. M. E. Waldeland spoke words of comfort at the grave.
