Christian Jensen Bredall was born in Hoptrup, Mark, Schleswig-Holstein, Germany, Arpil 12, 1829. He married Anna K. Peterson in 1853 and she died in 1868.

Mr. Bredall was a kind husband and father, and held in high esteem by all who knew him. His life was filled with usefulness and the world is better for his long sojourn.

Brief services were conducted Saturday at the home by Rev. H. Robinson, and in the afternoon Rev. Swaney Nelson conducted the funeral at the Big Springs Baptist Church. Interment in Pleasant Hill Cemetery, alcester, S. D.
