FREDERICK CLAUSEN

Fred Clausen, well known farmer for many years in the locality west of 
Randolph and south of Magnet, passed away Thursday evening, October 27 
at the home of his daughter, Mrs. August H. Krohn in this city at the 
age of 78 years, 9 months and 22 days.

Mr. Clausen had been in quite poor health for over five years and in 
that time was almost helpless from paralysis. His last illness was of 
10 days duration from senile pneumonia from which his weakened body 
could not rally.

Frederick Clausen was born in Husum, Schleswig-Holstein, Germany on 
January 5, 1843. He lived in his native land until he was 20 years of 
age and then sailed for American and located at Davenport, Iowa in 1863 
and was there married to Christina Mathiesen on September 6, 1867. They 
settled on a farm in Cedar County, Iowa, where they worked hard and did 
well. In 1882, they came to Nebraska after several years bought a farm 
southeast of Magnet, now occupied by Theodore Clausen. Later on he bought 
the timber claim south of Magnet that for many years was known as the 
Clausen place and was a model farm for neatness and productiveness. In 1911, 
he sold this farm and retired from active life. His wife died November 9, 
1906. For the past two and one-half years he has made his home with his 
daughter, Mrs. Aug. H. Krohn. Mr. Clausen was a kindly man a true gentleman 
and upright and honorable in his dealings, his word being as good as his bond.

Deceased leaves six children. His oldest son William died in 1917 at Modesta, 
Calif. He leaves 21 grandchildren and 4 great grandchildren.
