Hinckley Review 3 Mar 1910 - Hinckley Illinois - transcription Hinckley Historical Society Website
Suffering the past three years with occasional periods of mental trouble, and the past two weeks afflicted with a complication which gave every symptom of pneumonia, Christian Larsen was ready for the merciful visit of the death angel which released him from the agony of his condition. He was a popular man in this community, a kind friend and neighbor, and the news of his death brought sorrow to a wide circle of acquaintances.
Christian Larsen was a sturdy Dane. He was born in Denmark, in the Province of Hjorring, June 23, 1863, and came to America in 1885. In 1888 he returned to his native town and married Mess Caroline Nelsen, and after the ceremony they started for America, the couple settling in this vicinity, where they have resided ever since.
Mr. Larsen’s illness dates back about three years, and every effort has been put forth by the physicians to relieve him. He passed away Friday, February 25, 1910, at his home south of Hinckley. The funeral was held Monday, conducted by Rev. Mr. Rathmann of the St. Paul Church, who spike comforting words to the sorrowing family. Deceased was a member of the Danish Brotherhood, a large number of the members of that society attending in a body, and at the grave in Greenwood they executed the impressive burial service of the order. The bearers were members of the brotherhood.
Those surviving Mr. Larsen are the widow and six children—two daughters and four sons in this vicinity; the aged father, now about ninety years old, and two sisters in Denmark; one brother a Baptist clergyman, in Minnesota, who was unable to get here for the funeral.
The family desires to thank the kind neighbors and friends for the many acts of sympathy, and those who tendered the beautiful flowers
