The Hooper Sentinel
July 8, 1915
Christian Clausen was born in Denmark on the 28th day of December,
1841 and passed to the Great Beyond, June 27, 1915, at his home one
mile north of Admah, on his farm where he has resided for forty-
six years. Mr. Clausen served as a soldier in the Denmark and
Prussian war of 1864, and was receiving a pension for his services
at the time of his death. After the war he came to America. After
being here several years he returned to his native country and was
married to Miss Maren Anderson the 22nd of March, 1869. They
emigrated from there to Nebraska and settled on the homestead in
Washington county the same year. To this union eleven children
were born, seven boys and four girls, nine of whom are still living
to mourn the death of a father. All were present at the funeral
except Mrs. Phillip Dern, of Salt Lake City, Utah. His wife
preceded him the 4th of April, 1896. By hard work and hardships in
the pioneer days of Nebraska he accumulated a fortune any man might
be proud of. He was laid to rest by the side of his beloved wife
in the Danish cemetery, two miles west of Admah Wednesday
afternoon. He was followed to the grave by a large concourse of
friends and neighbors.
