CHAPTER XXIX.
SOME FORMER RESIDENTS OF SHELBY COUNTY AND THEIR ACHIEVEMENTS. (CONT'D)
C. M. CHRISTENSEN.
C. M. Christensen is a son of Mr. and Mrs. Chris Christensen, of Harlan, Iowa. Mr. Christensen served two terms as county recorder of Shelby
county, after which he removed to Wayne, Nebraska, where he continued a real estate business, which he had developed, and also took charge of a district management for the Northwestern Life Insurance Company of Milwaukee, covering a large number of counties in northeastern Nebraska, where he had charge of a large number of sub-agents. Mr. Christensen all of the time kept investing in land in Nebraska and in Minnesota. He has now relinquished the management of the insurance company business, owing to the fact that his other interests demanded his time. He now owns in the state of Minnesota eleven quarter sections of land. He has the land all leased and it is farmed according to his directions, which he executes through a graduate of the State Agricultural College of the Universitv of Nebraska. This director receives one hundred and fifty dollars per month and, in addition, ten per cent, of the income from the farm.
