In 1867 he was married to Helene Martens. God blessed this union with three sons. Bereft of his first, he united in marriage with Catherine Volkera in 1882. The same year he moved with his family to this country and settled here in Saunders County. In 1882 he was also converted happily to God at a camp meeting, held near Louisville, Neb. And united with the Evangelical Association and was a faithful member to the end. Last year, in company with his wife, he visited the old fatherland. About six months ago Father Behrens was taken sick and death came peacefully Sunday, July 12 at twelve o'clock, at the age of 66 years, 1 month and 25 days.
