C.A. Christensen & sons, February 1943


This is a photograph of Christian Andrew "CA" Christensen and all of his sons on the occasion of the death of his only daughter in February 1943. Mabel was married to Leon Dunn and mother of three when she died at the age of 34 "after an operation," as the newspaper death notice put it.

Front and center is CA Christensen, who was born in Denmark in 1881 and came to the USA in 1888. His sons, from left to right in this photo, are Oswald R. "Os" (1906-1989), Earl H. (1909-1981), Clifford A. "Kip" (1919-1972),  William M. "Bill" (1927-2007), Edward P. (1916-1986), Carrol G. (1915-1993), and Arthur C. (1913-1996).

This photo was probably taken on the Dunn farm in the Town of Dayton, Waupaca County, Wisconsin.
