Mr Nielsen was one of the prime movers in the Danish colony in and around Elk Horn and Brayton. He was the father of a large family and with the aid of a dutiful companion was able to accumulate a goodly share of this world's goods. When his faithful wife was called to her reward in 1908 his home was broken up and soon after the marriage of his daughters, left Oakfield twp.

His children are: John and Edward, prominent farmers near Brayton; Julius is state senator from Cass county and living in Atlantic; Alfred is a prominent businessman in Atlantic; his daughters are Mrs Marquesen, Mrs Keith and Mrs Nielsen all of Audubon.

He remained in this country 47 years before returning to the land of his nativity on a visit. He arrived in America in 1866 and sought employment the first 2 years in Michigan and Chicago. At the latter place he was privileged to view the remains of the late President Lincoln.
