History. Among the able representatives of the dental profession in Utah County is Dr. Atlantic Christensen, who is practicing at American Fork. He was born on the 22nd of July, 1868, on the steamer Emerald Isle, which was then in mid-ocean--thus his name. His parents were Dr. J. N. and Marie (Jensen) Christensen, who were en route to Utah.
The father became a successful physician and dentist in Provo, where he took up his abode in 1868. During a part of his early residence in Utah he made his home in Sanpete County but afterward located at Provo, where he passed away. He was very active in his profession and was widely known as a successful practitioner both in dentistry and medicine. He died January 26, 1914, at Provo. The mother passed away on August 9, 1882, at the age of forty-two years.
Dr. Christensen of this review is the only survivor of a family of three children. He was educated in the public schools and graduated from the dental department of the University of Denver with the class of 1902, at which time his professional degree was conferred upon him. In 1890 he had taken up the study of dentistry and passed the territorial examination, which licensed him to practice in Utah. He practiced for twelve years before continuing his studies in Denver and following his graduation there he opened an office in American Fork, having previous to this time practiced in Provo. He is continually promoting his knowledge and efficiency through further reading and study and he keeps in touch with the latest modern scientific developments. He is a member of the Utah County Dental Society, the Utah State Dental Society, and the National Dental Association and has been the president of the county organization and the second vice president of the state organization.
On the 20th of May, 1908, in Salt Lake Temple, Dr. Christensen was married to Miss Liza Chipman, a daughter of Henry and Eliza (Filtcher) Chipman, of American Fork. They are now parents of two sons Scott Atlantic, who was born in Glasgow, Scotland, May 18, 1909; and John Chipman, born at American Fork, October 9, 1914. The parents are members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the American Fork Second Ward. Dr. Christensen served for two and a half years on a mission to Glasgow, Scotland, covering 1908 and 1909 and a part of 1910. For a portion of this time, he was president of the Edinburgh branch.
In politics, he is a Republican where national issues and questions are involved but at local elections casts an independent ballot. During the period of the war, he took an active part in promoting the sale of War Savings Stamps and Liberty Loan bonds. He is now concentrating his efforts and attention on the duties of his profession and is meeting with success in this connection.
