CO-OPS MEET AND
DECIDE TO BUY HAY

A joint meeting of the board of di-
rectors of the AskOv Creamery and
the AskOv Cooperative association
was held in the town hall at Askov
Tuesday evening, Oct. 20 for the pur-
pose of deciding on a way to secure
hay during the coming winter as it
seems apparent that a number of
farmers in this community will be
short on this crop
1t was decided that the creamery
take charge of this and a committee
consisting of Jens Arnbal, Peter
Simonsgaard, and Mogens Tuxen was
appointed to order necessary supplies
from time to time, the latter to have
charge of local distribution. All
sales made will be for cash or else
taken out of the first cream check.
A list will be in the bank where farm
ers are requested to order their needs.
The committee will appreciate an ap-
proximate estimate from each for his
needs during the season. Peter Peter
sen and Ludwig Madsen were elected
as revisors.

FORMER ASKOV
AGED LADY DIES
Mrs. Wilhelm Nielsen, so, Passed
Away Suddenly in Daughters
Home at RObbinSdale.

Another of Askov's pioneer women
has passed away. Mrs. Wilhelm Mel
sen died at Minneapolis Friday and
was buried in Askov Monday after
noon, with the Rev. o. H. Dyreborg
officiating at the funeral.
Mr.. and Mrs. Nielsen were among
the early settlers of this community,
coming here in the spring of 1908
and locating on twenty-acre farm
one mile west of town, where they
built what was then a real good farm
home, although it looks small and
insignificant compared with the large
and modern buildings that go up now.
Mr.. and Mrs. Nielsen were among
the first of our settlers to be honored
at a golden wedding celebration which
occurred here exactly five years prior
to Mrs. Nielsen's funeral Mr.. Mel
sen passed away about three and a
half years ago, after which Mrs. Mel
sen has lived with relatives and
friends at different places. This sum-
mer she had made her home in Dav-
export, Iowa, and had returned to Rob-
binsdale on Thursday, apparently in
her usual good health, but Friday she
became ill and died that day; the
cause of death being heart trouble
She would have been 80 years old Jan.
&c, 1880.
Mr.. and Mrs. Nielsen did not have
any children, but adopted small girl
whom they reared as their own and
who is now Mrs. John Hirshman Of
Robbinsdale. She and her husband
were here for the funeral.
Six former neighbors, Ib Hansen,
Hans Lunde, Hans Jorgensen, Chr.
Morgensen, Chr. Sorensen, and N. P.
Nedegaard carried the body to it's
final resting place in the Askov ceme-
terry.

not always satisfied with himself and
his weakest point perhaps was that of
becoming melancholy lack of con-
fidence, enthusiasm, or the mirthful
spirit at times.
Mr.. Gravesen, earlier in the evening
in behalf of friends gathered, had
presented the Dyreborgs with silver
coffee set, which was engraved in
Danish, the inscription translated con-
veying this: appreciation. From
Friends in Askov. 1929"
Good Wishes for Community.
The pastor as a parting word ex-
pressed deep appreciation of the
three years they had spent here, ap-
probation of the school and playmates
of their little son, that he was brought
up here in good surroundings, and
also expressed the hope that the COM
munity might continue to be pros
porous and that the democratic spirit,
good fellowship and community spirit
be fOstered and continue to work in
harmony with the spiritual side of
life as in the past. He thanked for
the present and said that it will al
ways remind them of Askov and the
reminder will be a lift to them in
their new field. AS a little surprise
he had had some postcard pictures
taken of himself and his family and
said those who might desire to have
one could get it that evening. Folks
were glad to get this little family
picture for their homes, picture of
the pastor they had learned to love
and revere, a man who wears we'll and
is liked better and better as time goes
on.
Early Tuesday morning the journey
went eastward in automobile. They
drove by way of Hampton, Iowa, for
little visit at the Miller home. They
will also make short stops other
places enroute. The DyrebOrgs are
accompanied by Miss Two Nedegaard
who is to help at their home for
while, and Theodore Jensen, southeast
of town, who will visit his sister at
New Haven, Conn.,, and seek work
in the east.
Success and happiness is the good
word that went with them from Askov.
New Pastor Coming Soon.
Arrangements have now been made

FRIENDS HONOR
ADOLF JENSENS
Silver Wedding Celebration Enjoyed
by Many.-Thrifty ASkOy Farm.
erS for IL Years.

The silver wedding anniversary of
Mr.. and Mrs. Adolf Jensen who have
lived in the Askov community for II
years, was celebrated last Friday
amid large number of friends and
neighbors.
In the afternoon a number of friends
called at their fine farm home, IL
miles southeast of town, and spent the
time in social visiting and enjoyed a
good dinner which was prepared by
the willing hands of kind friends who
desired to make the day festive for
them. A big celebration had been
prepared in their honor at the as
sembly hall in the village during the
evening. Here folks were seated at
neatly decorated tables and enjoyed
refreshments. An interesting and
humorous story was read by the Rev.
o. H. Dyreborg, violin and piano mu-
sic was furnished as part of the en-
tertainment, and the Rev. Dyreborg
spoke of the good virtues of the hon
ored couple and their family. All of
their eight children, except the old
est daughter, Mrs. Henry Madsen,
were home for the occasion. She
lives at New Haven, Conn. A number
of songs were also sung by the entire
gathering, including two written and
printed locally especially for the oc-
casion. In behalf of the friends gath
cred, Hans Clausen presented the hon
Ored couple with a silver gift and a
purse. Mr.. Jensen expressed deep ap-
probation for the kind neighborly
spirit shown and for the gift Follow
ing the program the tables were
cleared away and social dance en-
joyed to which good music was fur
nished by Thorvald Nielsen on the
violin and Albert Andersen and P. D.
Petersen on the accordion, the two
latter changing off. Those who did
not dance spent the time in visiting,
and happy social evening was the
result.
Came From New Jersey.
Mr.. and Mrs. Jensen were married
at Perth Amboy, N. j., shortly after
their arrival in this country from
Denmark. They took up residence
there, remaining at that place for
about eight years, after which they
moved to. Ashland, Mich. Here they
farmed for five years, after which they
removed to Perth Amboy and remain
ed year. At Perth Amboy Mr.. Jen-
sen did factory work and was also oc-
cupied at his trade as carpenter.
Leaving Perth Amboy they came to
Askov in the winter of 1919, having
since resided here. The first year or
two they rented farm and then pur-
chased the 100 acres of wild land
where they now have one of the pref
tiest and most well kept farms in
the community, having there put in
much hard work in clearing and erect
ing good substantial buildings where
they now enjoy the comforts of life
and good home life. Mr. Jensen was
a member of the Partridge township
board of supervisors for two terms
and has held several other offices of
trust in the community.
The many friends who congratulate
ed them on their silver wedding ami
versary join in extending best wishes
for comfort and happiness in the years
to come.

ASKOV PASTOR
GOES TO EAST
Continued from Page -


broke down. 1t came from the bot
tom of his heart.
The several talks were interspersed
with two songs of the local quartette,
orchestra music, and the singing of
several songs by the audience. Re-
freshments were also enjoyed.
r. S. Rasmussen said that we all
need to see the results of our labors
and not the least of these are the
preachers. Next to the Rev. H. j.
Petersen who was pastor at Tyler for
Is years and died many years ago,
Mr.. Rasmussen said that he appreci-
ated the Rev. Dyreborg most of all
the Danish ministers he had heard
and become acquainted with in Amer
lea. He also paid a high tribute to
Mrs. Dyreborg and concluded his talk
by reciting a good poem from his own
pen about the minister's great mis-
sion.
Work i'm District.
Martin Nelson of Minneapolis, who
had come up here with his family to
attend the farewell party, said that
he met the Rev. Dyreborg five years
ago and he had always impressed him
as being a man of stability and abil-
ity. He thanked him for what he had
been to the Fifth district of the
Danish Lutheran church, part of the
time serving as president, and wished
the family success in their new field.
Fred johnson said in the departure
of the family from here he did not feel
sorry for their sake. He said also
that aside from the ministerial work
he considered the Rev. Dyreborg an
excellent school man.
The Pastor Speaks.
The Rev. Dyreborg said that he and
his family are not leaving Askov be-
cause they think Askov is not a good
place. I'm fact" he said, without
any attempt at flattery, our stay here
has been one of the brightest in our
lives" He said people here have
meant much to him and he knew of
only one enemy in the community, and
that is Chris. Frederiksen's dog. He
never did make up" The pastor said
that wherever his work might take
him in the future he would always be
glad that he had spent some time in
a rural community in the midst of
his cOuntrymen where he had the OPP
portunity to observe first hand the
daily life of a progressive community
that has Jared so well spiritually
and economically. That experience,
he felt, would stand him well in hand
in the future. He said that he felt
bound to this community by so many
ties and if not minister he would
like to live here.
Having been in America only five
years he said that he felt some other
man might fill this place better, as
most of the younger generation of his
own age here are born and raised in
America. At Perth Amboy, where
they go to, and which is on the At
lantic coast, many of the Danish
American folks are of more recent
arrival in America, having been here
less than ten years, and therefore he
feels that he can fill that position
better. Whether the next step would
be back to Denmark or some place
in America he said he did not know
If the family remains in America,
he will naturally acquaint himself
more with the American language and
at Perth Amboy, which is city of
$4,000 or more, he will have better
opportunity to do that. Numerous col
leges and universities are near by.
The Rev. Dyreborg said that he was
Askov American. [volume] (Askov, Pine County, Minn.) 1914-current, 1929-10-31

so that the Rev. Arthur E. Frost, the
new pastor for Askov, and his family
will arrive in another month from
Dagmar, Mont, instead of in the
spring as was first planned. 1t is
thought that he will be here in time
to preach on Sunday, Dec 1st. This
announcement has been greeted cheer
fully. The Rev. Frost is a young
energetic and able man like the Rev.
Dyreborg and the coming of he and
his family is looked forward to-
