re: Does anyone recognize any of the following information or
name?
Recommend sending this to the Denmark List, which is the best at
tracking Danish ancestors. There are people from Denmark regularly
answering questions there. It would be good to identify location of
Platte. The following page contains subscription information for the
Denmark List. There is always very strong recommendation that new
subscribers read the FAQ before posting queries, especially the
information "What is the difference between surnames and patronyms?"
The Laaland reference will prove critical to success.

In the June 14, 1951 Platte Enterprise ran an obituary for Fred Christensen,
which follows in its entirety:
"Former Resident is Buried Here Tuesday. Funeral services were held
on Tuesday afternoon, with Rev. Sev Gjerde officiating, for Frederick
Carl Christensen, former Platte resident, who passed away in Los
Angeles Friday, June 8.
Mr. Christensen was born in Laaland(sic), Denmark, March 17, 1860. In 1888
he was married to Ella Nash, who died in 1908. To this union was born a son,
Lynn, of Culver City, Cal. In 1910 he married Sophia Hagedorn. To this
union were born two children, Mrs. Neoma Kruger of George, Iowa, and Eugene
of Los Angeles. He is also survived by a sister, Mrs. Ida Nash of Platte, a
brother, Henry, of Eau Claire, Wis., five grandchildren, and his three
children.
Relatives from out of town who attended the funeral services included Mr. and
Mrs. Lynn Christensen and daughter, Carol, of Culver City, Cal., Mr. and Mrs.
John Kruger and daughter Irene, of George, Iowa, and Mrs. Jay Seeley and
daughter, Mary Jane, of Gregory."
Below the obituary ran a "card of thanks", which read: "We wish to
acknowledge our sincere appreciation of the many kindnesses extended to us by
the brethren of Doric Lodge, A. F. & A. M., and numerous other friends at the
time of the loss of our father. Mr. and Mrs. Lynn F. Christensen. Mr. and
Mrs. John Kruger."
