Mathiesen – The subject of this sketch was born near Esbjerg, Denmark, on the 30th day of March 1867. He came to America in 1889, and arrived in Greeley county in 1891. He started first working by the month on a farm; then he purchased a team and commenced farming for himself and continued in that occupation until some time in the year 1900, when he moved to Wolbach. He at once engaged in the implement and lumber business, and later sold this and entered the real estate business. Some time in the year 1904 the partnership of Bradley and Mathiesen, was formed and he continued with that firm until he was called home. He moved to Omaha last April and increased the business of his firm greatly until today, the firm name of Bradley & Mathiesen, stands for one of the largest and most successful real estate firms in the State, brought about largely by the ability of the deceased. He was successful, yet he never forgot that he had been poor himself, and was always ready and willing to assist those in distress. The deceased was quite a public spirited man and always stood for progress and the best interests of the town and community. He was a member of the Town Board nearly all the time he was a resident here, and part of the time on the School Board. The Lutheran church was built largely thru his efforts and our large school building is also a monument to his labors. He was quiet in his manner and never made a show of his generosity. Many in this section can testify that he helped them when it was impossible for them to make their payments. His sickness lasted one month. Typhoid fever was too much for his once rugged constitution and he passed away to the great beyond July 31. His body was brought here from Omaha on Monday evening and services held in the Lutheran church, conducted by Rev. M. P. Ludden, of Lincoln, an old friend, and now Pres. of the Synod. Never before in the history of Wolbach was there such a crowd at a funeral, which speaks volumes for the deceased. Every business house in town was closed during the funeral. At the depot you could scarcely move for the people. The Danish Brotherhood and Sisterhood marched from the train to the church and performed their last sad rites at the Wolbach cemetery. The deceased is survived by his wife, formerly Carrie Madsen, to whom he was married in Feb. 1901, and who has the sympathy of the entire community, three children, one brother and one sister, Morten H. Mathiesen of Rock Ford, Colo. and Mrs. Andres Hansen of Wolbach. A good and useful man has been called home. Peace to his ashes!
