OBITUARY
Ane Kirstine was born in Thorsted, near Thisted, Denmark, on February 18, 1868 and was the youngest of eleven children.
She was a daughter of Jens Foged Jensen and his wife, Elizabeth Jensen. She was confirmed in the Lutheran church at the age of 14 years in the town where she was born.
When 18 years of age, she came to America and on July 6, 1895 she was united in marriage with John Peterson (sic) in Chicago, Ill. They made their home in that city until the spring of 1902, when they moved to Dannebrog, Nebr., where they lived four years and from there the family moved to Horace, where they have lived ever since.
Five children were born to this union, two sons and three daughters, namely, Mrs. Esther Clapp, Mildred and Viola, Iver and Jay Petersen.
Mrs. Petersen died suddenly from apoplexy, Friday morning, October 23, 1925 at the age of 57 years, 8 months and 5 days.
She leaves to mourn her death, her husband and children, five grandchildren, Faye, Fern, Frank, Ruby and John Clapp, three brothers and two sisters, namely Jens Jensen and Carl Jensen of Horace, Nebr., Peter Jensen, Elizabeth Anderson, Rodie Paulsen living in Denmark, and many other relatives and friends. Brothers and sisters who went before were Marie Petersen, Coren Jensen, Mads Jensen, Anders Jensen and Katherine Mikkelson.
Mrs. Petersen was a true and faithful wife, a kind and loving mother and a good neighbor and friend. Her death came as a great shock to her dear ones and to us all. She will be missed not only by her loved ones, but by all who knew her. Our consolation and comfort is that she died in the faith of Lord Jesus, who will raise her to life again on the great day.
Funeral services were held Monday afternoon, Oct. 26, 1925 at the Horace Baptism church, Rev. Petersen and Rev. Whitman officiating.
Interment was made at Mount Hope cemetery, Scotia, Nebraska.

Sleep on, beloved, sleep and take thy rest;
Lay down thy head upon thy Savior's breast;
We love thee well, but Jesus loves thee best;
Good night! Good night! Good night!
Calm is thy slumber as an infant's sleep;
But thou shalt wake no more to toil and weep;
Thine is a perfect, secure and deep; Good night!
Until the shadows from this earth are cast;
Until He gathers in His sheaves, at last;
Until twilight gloom is overpast- Good night!
Until the dazzling glory lights the skies;
Until the dead in Jesus shall arise,
And He shall come, but not in lowly guise- Good night!
Until made beautiful by Love Divine,
Thou in the likeness of thy Lord shall shine,
And He shall bring that golden crown of thine- Good night!
Only “Good Night,” beloved – not “farewell”;
A little while and all His Saints shall
In hallowed union, indivisible; Good night!
Until we meet again before His throne;
Clothed in the spotless robe He gives His own;
Until we know even as we are known- Good night!
