He was born 5 August 1902 in Aabenraa, Schleswig-Holstein, Germany, and died 7 July 1974 in Odense Herred, Odense County, Fyn, Denmark. Notes for CHRISTINE CLAUSEN:
8 November 1905 Christine
"Dinne" Clausen was born in Toftlund, Schleswig-Holstein,
Germany. One of her earliest memories was going to the woods on
Sundays with her father, Rasmus, so the children could secretly sing
Danish patriotic songs, something which was forbidden because of
Toftlund being German at the time, and the relationship between
Denmark and Germany always being very strained. In 1914 with the
start of WWI the economy got very bad, and Dinne's parents moved to
Hamburg, Germany, with all the children. In 1917 Rasmus and Marie
were still living in Hamburg, Germany, and Rasmus had been drafted
into the German Military, which was difficult for him, as he was very
Danish by heart. He was, however, never sent into battle. Rasmus was
stationed in Altona, Hamburg, Germany, and Sundays were his days off.
Those days Dinne and Misse would take turns walking the two hours
down to Altona to pick up Rasmus' dinner to take home, and the two
hours back. It was worth the walk, because in stead of being wasted
that one dinner would be split between all the children, and it was
usually their biggest meal of the week. During these years the family
was very poor. Dinne and her sister Misse, who at the time were 11 or
12 years old, took turns standing in line for food whenever a store
was having a special. Dinne remembers standing in line in front of
the Horsebutcher Shop from 3 o'clock in the afternoon til about 3
o'clock in the morning, then Misse would come and take over and stand
there til 9 am. when the store would open. Other times Misse would
stand in line the first shift, and Dinne the second. They would have
to walk about five miles to get there, and it was scary having to
walk the distance in the middle of the night. For heat in the winter
the girls would walk down to Alstern Wharf with an old baby buggy and
wait for hours in the snow and slush for the people unloading the
ships to drop lumps of coal, which they would then collect to bring
home. At other times Dinne and her little brother Hans would walk
miles and miles to the Gas Company to pick up a sack of coke fuel. In
the summer Dinne would go on a large Steam Cruiser down the Elb River
to the country, to see if she could buy cheap carrots and potatos. It
was a long trip, and it wasn't every time she was lucky enough to get
anything. The conditions under which Dinne's family was living were
typical for the time, and the poverty made people volatile. In 1917 a
food factory in the neighborhood was discovered to have been making
meat products out of dogs and cats. People raided the factory and
those responsible were captured, tied up, and placed on wagons in
front of everybody. There they were beaten, then force-fed their own
meat products raw. They tore the ears of the general manager, took
him up in front of City Hall, and threw him into the Alstern River.
But matters got even worse. 8 November 1918 was not only the start of
the Revolution, it was also Dinne's 13th birthday. Her mother had
gotten hold of an army blanket, and for her birthday present had
sewed Dinne a nice, warm coat out of it. That day Dinne was excited
to wear her coat to school for the first time, but she never made it
there. When she got down the street the Communists were there, and
had blocked the entire width of the street with barbed wire. She soon
found out that the schools were closed, and shops were being looted.
There was no food for anybody, unless they were prepared to break in
somewhere and steal it, and even that was soon gone. Dinne and the
rest of the children soon got used to going to bed hungry, having had
nothing but a drink of water. In September of 1919 Dinne was sent to
a farm, Forsøgsgården, in Årslev, Fyn, Denmark, as
a foster child, in order to get her out of Germany and away from the
war. Here she had lots of food, and was warm and cozy, and she
enjoyed herself very much. 11 April 1920 Dinne was confirmed in
Årslev. The foster family had a great party in Dinne's honor,
and her father came to the party, although her mother had to stay
back with the rest of the children. 1 May 1920 Dinne became a live-in
Nanny on a large farm in Vester Skjerninge, and she stayed there till
1 November 1920. By then there had been an election as to where to
place the border between Germany and Denmark, this took place 11
February 1920, and things were settling down. Rasmus and Marie were
finally able to return to Denmark, and they settled in Fyn, where
Dinne visited them for the first time around Christmas of 1920. 1
January 1921 Dinne became a live-in nanny for a barber, Mr.
Mikkelsen, in Aabenraa, Denmark, where she met August Wilhelm Geisler. Notes for AUGUST WILHELM GEISLER: August Wilhelm Geisler was born 5 August 1902 in Aabenraa, Schleswig-Holstein, Germany. 10 March 1918 he was confirmed. Shortly after, 1 April 1918, August was apprenticed to a Blacksmith and Machinist, and he finished his apprenticeship 1 April 1921. Throughout his apprenticeship, as well as after, August lived with his father, and after completing his education he worked odd jobs in his field, among them he was part of building cranes in Aabenraa Harbor. Marriage Notes for CHRISTINE CLAUSEN and AUGUST GEISLER: In 1922 August met Christine "Dinne" Clausen, at the home of one of August's cousins, and they became first friends, then girlfriend and boyfriend. Dinne was a live-in nanny for a barber in Aabenraa, and she stayed in Aabenraa till 1 November 1922, then took a job in Fruens Bøge, Fyn. While she was there August kept writing and asking her to come back to Aabenraa, so in May of 1923 she returned. About 1925 August was injured at work, and had severed an artery, and at the time he lost a considerable amount of blood. 4 October 1925 Dinne and August were married in Nr. Nærå Kirke, and settled in Aabenraa, and soon after, 30 December 1925, their oldest daughter, Marie Helene Johanne "Misse" Geisler, was born in Aabenraa. Soon after the wedding, on 26 January 1926, August became unemployed. The stress of not having a job, combined with the fact that he was still not completely healthy after his accident, caused him to have a nerveous breakdown, and in the summer of 1926 August was admitted to Sønderborg Nervesanatorium (a Psychiatric Hospital) for two months. After being discharged from the hospital August remained unemployed till June of 1927, when Dinne's parents helped him get a job with Odense Steelship Yard. So August and Dinne moved to Kappendrup, Fyn, and every day August rode his bicycle to work and back, about 13 miles each way. This was difficult, especially in the winter. The winter of 1928-1929 was especially hard, and Dinne and August had to get up at three o'clock in the morning in order for August to make it on time. It was during these years, on 8 September 1928, that Dinne and August had their second daughter, Ingrid Anna Sofie "Søster" Geisler was born. Then, in April of 1929, they were fortunate enough to get an apartment in Næsby, Fyn. Then between 1930 and 1931 the Steelship Yard closed, and August got a job with Sakskøbing Sugarfactory, where he worked for 5 or 6 months, until the Steelship Yard opened again. On 20 July 1933 Ruth Elisabeth Geisler, Dinne and August's third daughter was born. In 1937 August and Dinne moved again, this time to Tolderlundsvej in Odense, near the harbor. Then in 1939 WWII began, and 9 April 1940 Denmark was invaded for occupation by Germany. By June the Steelship Yard had once again been closed, and August was out of work. Dinne gave birth to hers and August's fourth and youngest daughter, Ella Kristine Geisler, on 11 December 1941. Meanwhile, the Labor Union decided that all the unemployed workers were to go to Germany and work, as the economy there was booming, and August worked there till 1943, when he was sent to Aalborg to work at the German Airport, and finally in 1944 he was sent to Odense Airport, where he worked until the war ended in 4 May 1945. Much of the time Dinne was alone with the girls, and it was a nerve-wrecking time, because of the bombing raids and the sabotage. The end of the war was a huge relief, but it wasn't over yet. Just after the war August was among those who were arrested for treason, because of having worked for the Germans during the war, and he was in prison from 10 May 1945 to about August of 1946. Once again Dinne was alone with the girls. When August returned home in 1946 he was out of work once again, although he tried tirelessly to find work. In the end of 1946 he finally succeeded, when he got a job in Glamsbjerg, which he kept almost 2 1/2 years. In 1947 Dinne also began to work, and this was the beginning for a much more prosperous and carefree time for them. In 1948 August finally got a long-term job in Rauslund, which he kept until he retired in 1969. 7 July 1974 August died in Odense, Denmark. He was buried in Odense.

From 1961 to 1963 Ella was employed with Holger Blom A/S, Dressmaker, in Copenhagen, where she sewed dresses for the Danish nobility, the Danish royal family, and costumes for the Royal Danish Theatre. During this time, on 26 May 1962, Ella met Vagn Christensen at a party for Højskoleforeningen in Copenhagen. Notes for VAGN AGERSKOV CHRISTENSEN: Vagn Agerskov Christensen was born 25 December 1935 at "Solhjem", Gærup, Brahetrolleborg, Korinth, Sallinge Herred, Svendborg County, Fyn, Denmark. As a child he attended Sybillesminde Public Elementary School in Gærup 4 days a week, the rest of time he helped with the farm work. Vagn grew up learning farming. Even during elementary school he would get up at 6 am. and milk two or three cows before school, and once again at 6 pm. He helped tether the cattle together by threes, and then each trio behind the next, so they could be brought to pasture. In the winter he would haul in turnips once or twice a week from the turnip pit to feed the cattle, and once a week they had to thresh. The work varied by the seasons. In the spring they would fertilize the ground as soon as it was dry enough to drive on without the horse and wagon sinking in. Vagn would drive, while his father would sit in the wagon and spread the dung with a coal shovel. When Vagn got older, they traded places. Next they had to harrow, sow, and roll the fields. They would spread nitrogen-based fertilizer by hand out of a bucket. Dung from the stables was spread and plowed into the ground everywhere they would grow turnips. After the sowing was done, they would cut peat, 20,000 pieces of it, for use throughout the year. Next the turnips had to be thinned and weeded, that had to be done two or three times over. When the peat was dry enough it was stacked, and when it was completely dry it was loaded onto the wagon and brought into the fuel house. Then it would be time to whitewash the buildings and trim the hedges. By then it was summer, and Mary would take the kids by train to Ejstrupholm to their grandma and grandpa's house for a week, while Jens Møller stayed back to take care of the animals. By the time they'd get back it would be time to start picking the fruit, plums and cherries first, and soon after the grain was harvested, first by scythe, then by combine, which was shared between the neighbors, and had to be pulled by three horses. The sheafs were stacked, then later brought into the barn. The fields were raked for the last of the grain, and harrowed and plowed again. Next it was time to take up the turnips and potatos for use over the winter. During the winters they went hunting, and they felled trees for use the next winter. In 7th grade Vagn was confirmed, and afterwards he left school. He became a farmhand, working for his father. From May of 1954 to September 1955 he did his military service, first in first regiment, Jægerspris, and later in Høvelte, Sjælland. In 1956 Vagn then took over his fathers farm "Solhjem", which he leased out from 1959 to 1963. In 1959 he enrolled at Ladelund Landbrugsskole, and in 1964 he graduated with a B.S. in Agriculture from the Royal Veterinarian and Agricultural University in Copenhagen.

For some time Ella had a Kennel and bred Papillon dogs. For 4 months in 1971 Vagn taught agriculture at Nordic Agricultural School in Odense, and then worked for Shell Denmark, later Cyanamide, as an agronomist until he retired. 19 February 1973 they moved to "Tårnvillaen" in Strib, Middelfart, Denmark.
