Read More	Miss Sophia Fink was born on the first day of May 1848 in Schoormor, Holstein, Germany, came to America in 1876 and located at La Mont, Ill. From there she removed to Davenport, Iowa in 1879 and the same year was married to Henry Johansen, with whom she came to Ellsworth County, Kansas that same year and located on a farm five miles from the present city of Holyrood. There were seven children born to Mr. and Mrs. Johansen. Six are living and one died in infancy. Those living are Robert Johansen, Max Johansen and Fred Johansen, sons, and Mesdames E.H. Hagy, John Bredfeldt and W.F. Jenicek, daughters. They all live in or near our city. Besides the children, her husband and several grandchildren survive her. About five years ago the deceased, with her husband and two children moved to our city and left the farm in charge of their sons. Here she lived up to the time of her death. The first years of her life in Kansas were, like all of those who located here at that time, not what might be desired. Many hardships were experienced by her during these pioneer days. Besides these hardships, she was in poor health for many years, but about six years ago she and her husband took a trip to Germany which seemed to help her very much and she was somewhat better for a few years after that. She was in comparatively good health until about three weeks ago when she was taken sick with typhoid, which led to her death. She died at her home in our city, Wednesday night, Sept, 22, 1909. The funeral services were held Friday, Sept, 24, Rev. Enter of Nickerson, Kansas conducting the services. The burial was in the Holyrood cemetery. The Banner joins the many friends of the bereaved family in extending sympathy to them in the loss of their kind wife, mother and grandmother. Published in The Holyrood Banner Sept. 30, 1909
