Karen married Hans Christenson (1828-1907) on February 28, 1854 in Kundby Parish, Holbaek Co., Denmark.
They emigrated to America in 1858, landing in New York City. This immigration was undoubtedly encouraged by Hans' brother George C. Christenson (1817-1891) who had immigrated to Wisconsin in 1851. Hans and Karen made their way across to Pine River, Waushara Co., Wisconsin, to be near his brothers family. About 1867 Hans and his brothers family removed to Grundy Co., Iowa, where they resided until 1874, when they came west to Oregon. They originally removed to a farm near Amity. Not too long after that, they moved again to the Chahalem Valley, where Hans built the house at the junction of the North and South Valley Roads, ½ mile west of Newberg. This house is located on the present Tangen Road. Later he purchased a large farm and built the big square house now owned by Victor Durran and his wife Marabelle (Cammack) Durran located on King’s Grade Road. He and his wife became members of the Baptist Church at Carlton in 1883. In 1886 they became charter members of the Chehalem Valley Baptist Church and later identified themselves with the Baptist Church of Newberg. For many years they resided on a farm in West Chehalem, west of Newberg, Oregon. However, ill health forced them to leave their farm and move into Newberg. After Hans died in 1907, Karen moved into the home of her daughter, Anna (Christenson) Fendall, on the corner of Sheridan and Harrison Streets in Newberg, Oregon, where she died February 1, 1920. Karen was laid to rest alongside her husband in the Noble Cemetery.
