ASKOV PIONEER
PASSES BEYOND
Wilhelm Nielsen Celebrated
Golden Wedding in
1922.

MONDAY afternoon marked the
passing of one of Askov's oldest
residents and. pioneers when Viii
helm Nielsen laid aside his earth
ly cares. Death came peacefully
after a few weeks Of illness.
Heart trouble. tumor Of the sto-
mach and enlargement Of the
liver coupled with old age caused
ibis demise.
| Wilhelm Nielsen was born at
Hormested. vensyssel, Denmark,
on Sept. "a, 1851, and would have
been "a years old on his. next
birthday. He grew to manhood
in his native country and was
married there to Miss Johanne
Hansen on Oct. %, 1872, their
golden wedding being celebrated
in Askov "a years ago. They emil
grated TO America in 1883, settl-
Il ing at Momence. ILL.,. where they
remained 20 years. coming to
Askov in 1908 and have lived here
since.
Mr.. Nielsen worked in q brick
yard, did railroad work, and
about half the time they lived at
Momence was spent at farming.
Since coming to Askov II years
ago they have resided on their
farm a mile west of town. ORR
ginally 40 acres was purchased
but a few years ago they dis
posed Of half Of it, old age and
many years Of hard work making.
IL impossible to continue the hard
toll. Mr.. Nielsen was Of the
pioneer type Of men, Trustworthy
and had faith and confidence in
his fellowmen. It was never his
aim to gather worldly possessions
and for that reason even after
coming to Askov when well up
in years he found II necessary to
occasionally take on outside work
} such as working on the railroad
to acquire little cash. But he
loved work and it was his good
fortune TO be able to do some
thing even at his advanced age
until a few weeks before being
summoned to the Great Beyond.
His confidence in his fellowmen.
was not misplaced either for
friends and neighbors were kind
to him and his lifelong mate.
Farmers came there and helped
him with the heavy field work
and assisted in gathering the
harvest in the fall of the year.
This has been done the past sew
eral years and for those who have
been so kind it must have been
blessing and will continue TO re-
main so. Recalling a visit the
old gentleman made to the Amer
lean office only a year or two ago
he said with tears in his eyes
that friends and neighbors were
SO kind to him and his wife. He
was truly a man of reverence and
gratitude and to have learned to
know the old gentleman was TO
have gained bigger heart.
Likely one of the most happy
events in the life of Mr.. Nielsen
was when he and Mrs. Nielsen
celebrated their golden wedding
here at Askov on Oct. %. 1922,
amid a large concourse of friends
that filed the church.
No children have been born to
this union but they adopted a
little 4-year-old girl at Momence,
whose name is Anna She is now
married and living in Minnea-
polls and has three children, her
name being Mrs. John Hirshman.
The Hirshman family came up
here Saturday in response to a
message that Mr.. Nielsen was
