CHRIS PAULSEN

Funeral services were held Wednesday afternoon from the Magnet Methodist 
for Chris Paulsen, 81, Cedar County pioneer, who died very suddenly Monday 
afternoon while in the yard at the farm of his son, Paul Paulsen, with whom 
he resided.

Mr. Paulsen had been in fairly good health, despite his advanced age and his 
sudden death was attributed to heart failure. A native of Denmark, he had 
lived in Cedar County continuously since 1886. He came to the Randolph vicinity 
at that time and put up hay on the site where Randolph is now located. Later he 
was employed on the construction crew when the M.O. railway was built through 
here, and was a member of the crew that made the railroad cut north of Randolph. 
In 1898 he bought the farm one mile east of Magnet, which was his home until his 
death.

Chris Paulsen was born in Alaborg, Denmark, January 29, 1862 and came to Pierce 
in May of 1885. In 1886 he came to Randolph, later moving to Hartington where in 
1890 he was married to Miss Hannah Anderson. After farming near there six years 
the family moved to Magnet residing there five years before moving on to the farm 
which Mr. Paulsen had brought and which was to be his home for 45 years.

He is survived by one son Paul of Magnet; two brothers and two sisters in Denmark; 
three grandchildren and two great grandchildren. Mrs. Paulsen died in 1919 and he 
was also preceded in death by his only daughter, Mrs. Sena Petersen.
