Notes for METTE KIRSTINE CHRISTENSEN:

Stine Christensen was born in September of 1871. She had a son named Herman out of wedlock. Later Stine married Jens Peder Nielsen, and they bought a farm in Langelund. Stine and Jens had six children, Marinus Nielsen, Søren Nielsen, Johanne Nielsen, Anna Nielsen, Jens Nielsen, and Marius Nielsen. Jens died after being kicked by a horse. After his death it was difficult for Stine to make ends meet. She would heat the house in winter with old news papers and magazines people would give her, and relatives would bring occasionally her fruit or potatoes of their crops. In spite of this Stine was always cheerful and content. She would sit in front of the fire, and no one could tell she had a care in the world. Some years after Jens' death, by 1942, Jens' and Stine's son Søren moved home to live with his mother, and he got a job working the railroad. This helped her economic situation greatly.

Notes for ANE KIRSTINE MADSEN:

About 1899 Kirstine became a housekeeper at Danstruplundgaard, the year after she worked for Kr. Sørensen in Amstrup, and then she returned to Danstruplundgaard, where she worked another two years. Next she went to Ringsted, and was a housekeeper for Chr. Mørk Hansen, after which she returned to Danstrup in May of 1904.

Marriage Notes for JENS CHRISTENSEN and ANE MADSEN:

Around 1903 Jens married Kirstine Madsen. The same year he was also the very first student at Kærhave Farming School, which was opened in September of 1903. Jens was a farmer, and in 1905 bought a farm in Hauge with about 14 acres of steril, emaciated soil, which became even more sparse due to sandstorms in the spring, blowing away much of the seed. Jens planted rows of trees to provide lee, and in the fall he sowed a kind of grass, which was then plowed into the ground as a fertilizer, improving the soil. Jens was also a fisherman, milk man, bringing out the milk with horse and wagon, he kept hogs and for some time bulls, and he went to other farms to spray their fruit trees with pesticide. Kirstine worked in the Housekeeping Association, teaching cooking and canning classes in the evening. Both Jens and Kirstine were politically active in the constituency and members of the temperance society, where Kirstine was part of the amateur theatre group, usually playing the mature woman. In 1908 Jens was one of the founding members of the Gjellerup Smallholder's Association. Jens and Kirstine had 8 children, Martha Christensen, born 25 September 1904, Søren Christensen, born 19 August 1906, Jensine Christensen, born 24 January 1910, Arne Christensen, born 9 September 1911, Svend Aage Christensen, born in 1912, Esther Christensen, born 29 January 1917, Eli Christensen, born around 1919 or 1920, and Svend Aage Christensen, born 26 March 1925. In 1924 Jens bought about 5.5 acres of land in Fønnersbæk, Ikast Parish, alongside the river, and they had to drive the haywagon across the heather along sandy wheel tracks, causing the haywagon to tip over occasionally. In 1925 Jens was the last president of Hammerum Temperance Society, which was dissolved that year. In 1932 Jens bought about 32.5 acres of land north of the farm house from John Pedersen. In spring of 1934 Jens had asked his thirteen-year-old son, Svend Aage, to fire up under the copper in the stable, where they boiled potatos for the hogs. Svend Aage put a lot of pine twigs on the fire, and suddenly flames shot up towards the ceiling, where it caught some straw that was stuck in spiderswebs between the rafters. The building burned down to the ground within an hour, as the fire was fed by a strong wind, and they were unable to get out any of the animals. The cows were lowing frantically and the hogs were squeeling, as they died in the fire. They were later buried in a mass grave southeast of the farm, where their bones were found in 1983 during a sewer excavation. After the fire the family had nothing but the clothes on their backs, an old desk, Jens' book collection, and a few sentimental items, photos etc. It became a diffictult summer. At first the family had to live in the gym of the local elementary school, after which they moved into the attic over Jens' son Søren's house. Jens had underinsured the farm, and to make matters worse he was fined for allowing a thirteen-year-old boy to mind the fire. Jens handled that part of the hardship by going to jail for 8 days in exchange for having the fine lifted, and he would later always say that it was the most money he ever made in a week. Still, because the property was underinsured, and an extra 1000 kr. ($150) deductable was imposed because of a minor being at fault, the family had to turn every penny and do most of the reconstruction themselves. Arne, who had already left home, came back that summer to help rebuild the farm. They cleaned up, molded bricks, cleaned off old bricks, poured a foundation, and built walls. Søren helped with the woodwork, and they got lumber from the woods. Eventually the building was reconstructed.
10 September 1939 Kirstine died. Jens mourned the loss of his wife, and it was the first time he, who always was on top of any situation, well-spoken and eventempered, let his children see him cry. He became very emotional and cried at the drop of a hat. His health was failing, and he was having cardiac problems. In 1940 Jens sold the farm to his son Arne. At this time the farm encompassed about 22.5 acres less two lots set aside for a house for Søren (Kølkjærvej 24) and to Jens (Kølkjærvej 31). In exchange for taking over the farm, Arne had to take over the mortgage, as well as give his youngest brother Svend Aage room and board for three years, while he was an apprentice.

Notes for JAKOBA MARIE MEEDOM:

Marie worked as a live-in housekeeper in a number of places, among others in Aulum. Later she moved to Holstebro, where she ran an ironing/pressing business. In 1882 Marie celebrated her 100th birthday at Lindegården. 5 December 1983 Marie died at Lindegården in Herning, Hammerum Herred, Ringkøbing County, Jylland, Denmark. She was just short of her 102nd birthday, and she was the oldest resident of the county. 9 December 1983 at 1:00 pm Marie was buried in Hammerum Kirkegård, Hammerum Herred, Ringkøbing County, Jylland, Denmark.

Marriage Notes for JENS CHRISTENSEN and JAKOBA MEEDOM:

One day in 1940 Jens told his children that he was going on a trip for a few days, and when they asked him where he was going he responded that he was going to Vind to see some relatives. When he came home a few days later, however, he revealed that he had been to Holstebro to visit a woman named Marie Meedom, and he wanted to know what they would think about him getting married again. The children were shocked, but approved as long as Jens would be happy, and soon he and Marie were married and built a house, and Jens was healthier and happier than he had been in a long time. In the 1960's Marie and Jens moved to a Nursinghome "De Gamles Hjem" in Herning, Hammerum Herred, Ringkøbing County, Jylland, Denmark. 30 June 1968 Jens died in Herning, Hammerum Herred, Ringkøbing County, Jylland, Denmark. After his death Marie moved to Lindegården, another nursinghome in Herning.
