Ludvig Dæhnfeldt was
born in Augustenborg, Als Sønder Herred, Sønderborg
County, Sønderjylland, Denmark, about 1817. Ludvig
Dæhnfeldt founded the seed company Dæhnfeldt Frø
under extremely modest conditions in Odense. From a basement shop he
sold seed, fresh vegetables, and flowers from his small nursery to
the citizens of Odense. As the city grew, the business grew steadily
necessitating expanding the shop's premises, as well as the
greenhouse area. From 1850 Ludvig Dæhnfeldt ran the original
small nursery and sold fresh vegetables, flowers and seed from his
basement shop in Vestergade, Odense. Census of 1850 for Ludvig
Dæhnfeldt reads "gartner, holder selv dug og disk".
In 1854 the shop and nursery moved to Vestergade 85. In 1890 the
adjoining property at Vestergade 83 was added. Pantheonsgade in
Odense was established and the company opened its newly constructed
premises in 1898. Children of LUDVIG DÆHNFELDT and LAURA FICH are: i. CHRISTIAN LORENZ EMIL4 DÆHNFELDT, b. 22 May 1857, Odense, Odense Herred, Odense County, Fyn, Denmark; d. 1920; m.

Frø, as a partner. Christian Dæhnfeldt was visionary. He

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. 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. Marriage Notes for AUGUST GEISLER and CHRISTINE CLAUSEN:
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. Children of AUGUST GEISLER and CHRISTINE CLAUSEN are: 30. i.

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. Marriage Notes for ELLA GEISLER and VAGN CHRISTENSEN: 26 May 1962, Vagn met Ella Kirstine Geisler at a party for Højskoleforeningen in Copenhagen. 9 May 1964 Ella and Vagn were married in Brahetrolleborg Kirke, Fyn, Denmark, and they settled at "Solhjem", where they had three children, Lisbeth Agerskov Christensen, born 1 December 1964, Henrik Agerskov Christensen, born 21 April 1966, and Thomas Agerskov Christensen, born 20 May 1971. From 1964 to 1971 Vagn was employed as an agronomist with Landbo- & Husmandsforeningens Kemikalieudvalg i Odense. They kept farming at "Solhjem", mostly keeping cattle, rabbits, and chickens. 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.
