The JOrgensen Celebration.
Mr.. and Mrs. A. C. Jorgensen well
coined a large number of visitors to
their home on Monday, Feb. Goth, this
date marking the day they were mar
ried at Royal, Iowa, 25 years ago.
The Jorgensens have lived in the
Askov community for IA years so
there was a number of "reminiscences
right from this immediate community
to talk over, and besides that they
were also known to some of the folks
here from their stay at Tyler. Rev.
O.. H. Dyreborg, County Superinten-
dent of Schools J. P. Miller, L. C.
Petersen, ]. P. Sorensen, and Niels
Brus were amongst those who spoke
and aided in making the day happy
and memorable one. The Jorgensens
have known Mr.. Miller and his folks
at Hampton, Iowa for the past 35
years.
After their marriage at Royal, Iowa,
the Jorgensens moved to Tyler, Mimi,
right away and farmed in the Arco-
Tyler neighborhood for more than 10
years when they came to Askov in the
spring of 1914 and have since resided
on their farm, 2 miles southwest of
town, where their home is beautiful
ly located on little hill surrounded
by a fine grove. Their son, Jorgen,
is spending the winter at home with
them and they also have another boy,
Lloyd Glover, who is staying with
them and helps to make mirth and
good cheer in this happy household.
The Jorgensens, as the Nielsens, are
of the friendly neighborly type-mod-
est people-the kind who are the salt
of the nation, wishing others well and
always ready to lend a helping hand
to a friend or neighbor. They were
also the recipients of a number of
pretty and useful silver gifts, and
more than that, received the congra-
tulations and best wishes for the flu
ture from their many friends.
The American joins with others in
wishing both of these worthy couples
many more happy and contented
years of residence in the Askov COM
| munity.
