Kingsbury, 1915 HANS G. CHRISTOPHERSON. Hans G. Christopherson, who is residing on section 35, Spirit Mound township, Clay county. was born in that county in 1889, a son of Andrew and Hattie Christopherson, both natives of Denmark. They were married in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, in 1884, baying emigrated to the United States some time previously, and in 1889 they removed from the Badger state to Clay county, South Dakota. The father rented land for eight years and then purchased a quarter section near Lodi, but later sold this property and bought the farm on which Mr. Christopherson of this review is now living. The father was active in agricultural pursuits until his retirement from business cares in 1911. His demise occurred in 1913 but his widow still survives and resides in Vermillion, this state. At his death he owned two hundred and forty acres of finely improved land, all in a high state of cultivation. All of the eight sons and four daughters born to Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Christopherson are living, as follows: Anna, Robert, Carrie, Hans G., Fred, Richard, Victor, Walter, Arnold, Minnie, Alvera and Tollef. The father was a republican but never desired office, finding that his private affairs demanded all of his time and attention. Hans G. Christopherson entered the public schools of Clay county at the usual age and after finishing the course there attended South Dakota University. In 1911, when his father retired, he took charge of the home farm, which he is still operating. It comprises two hundred and forty acres and is one of the valuable properties of the locality. Mr. Christopherson was reared to farm work and understands the methods of agriculture best adapted to this soil and climate and from the time that the crops are planted until they are harvested his energies are largely devoted to the work of the fields. The care of live stock adds to his labors, but he finds that branch of his business a profitable one as it adds not a little to the income derived from his farm. In 1910, Mr. Christopherson was married to Miss Grace McDonald, likewise a native of Clay county. Her parents, A.C. and Carrie McDonald, were among the first settlers of the county and are highly esteemed wherever known. She is one of the older children in a family of fifteen. To Mr. and Mrs. Christopherson have been born a son and daughter, Herbert D. and Helen M. The parents belong to the Lutheran church as they believe heartily in the tenets of that faith. Mr. Christopherson is a republican but has confined his political activity to the exercise of his right of suffrage. He is a young man of energy, sound judgment and practical knowledge of agriculture, and the success that he has already achieved indicates that his affairs will continue to prosper throughout the years.
