In a recent letter from Jack Rasmussen he states that "Anton II was born in Mt. Pleasant. Anton I died at sea enroute to the USA from Denmark. Sena Christiansen married Hans Rasmussen; and the Rasmussens listed are their children. Chris Christiansen was born on the way back to Omaha in Columbus Nebraska."

Autobiography and Journals of Christian Nielsen Lund Sr.

May 1896 ....following his missionary blessing ....
We were in all ten or twelve and 7 or 8 had gone on to meet us in Philadelphia.
In the evening we attended and entertainment given at Heber Iversons, as his brother, James F. Iverson was going with us.
Sticks that fell from the trees, for firewood. I lingered here a while and went and
visited Niels Anderson, a son of Anders Jeppeson, where I stayed 3 years when a boy.
I had a pleasant visit here and returned to Kolding for the night.
