Read More	Another one of the pioneer settlers of this community has been laid to rest. James Christensen, after an illness of about a year, passed away last Friday shortly before noon at his home in Wolbach. There is a feeling of deep respect in the heart of every one in the community for those who came here when the country was new and helped to change the raw prairies into a land of homes and productive farms. Mr. Christensen was one of these early settlers. He came to Wolbach 41 years ago, and has experienced the seasons of prosperity and adversity that have come during these years. James Christensen was born in Sealand, Denmark, May 30, 1853 and died at his home in Wolbach, Nebraska, August 5, 1927, aged 74 years, 2 months and 5 days. In infancy he was baptized and in youth confirmed in the Lutheran church in his native country. On July 7, 1887, he was united in marriage to Ane Hansen. To this union eleven children were born, of whom four preceded him to the great beyond. Those living are Mrs. Gus Holm, Mrs. E. L. Johnson, Mrs. Wilmer Christensen, Chris, Arthur, William Christensen, all of Wolbach, and Miss Minnie Christensen of Omaha. In 1882 he with his family emigrated to America and settled in Omaha. Two years later he moved to St. Paul Nebraska, and in 1886 he came to the vicinity of Wolbach and lived in different locations until he settled on his farm 2 miles west of town in 1898. About five years ago he moved to Wolbach, where his remaining days were spent. During most of his life his work was that of a carpenter. Many of the buildings of this vicinity were erected by him, among which are three of the churches of Wolbach, namely, the Danish and English Lutheran and the Catholic. He leaves to mourn his loss, his wife, seven children, eight grandchildren, and one great-grandchild, all of whom except one reside in this community. He has in addition to these, many friends who will regret his departure. Being well and favorably known, the surviving relatives have the profound sympathy of many friends. Funeral services were held at the home in charge of Rev. Henry Hansen, Sunday August 7, at 2 p.m. and at Trinity Lutheran church at 2:30 p.m., in charge of Rev. R. A. White. Rev. Hansen gave an address in the Danish language. The burial was in Hillside Cemetery.
