rpOR the first tinic in tillv \rurs, Cllicaiiu
*■ I). B. S. lijdi;c> aiiil IJaiiisli Anieiicans in
Chicago arc liosts to fellow couiuiMncn troni
all over the l^'nitcj States. .\Ian\ will \ isit
Chicago for the first time, and we teel that
in hidding our friends welcome we owe thcin
some information about our cit\.
The great Chicago is one of the voungcst
of the. world's metropolises. In IS.v^ a few
hundred inhabitants incorporated Chicago, at
which tim« a small number of frame houses
could be found near Fort Dearborn ami
along the river. The village was more or
less isolated, from the rest of the world ; only
when a caravan on the way West made a
stop-over in Chicago did news reach the
town. No one foresaw that within a few
score of >ears this same spot would become
the heart of one of the world's greatest cities.
The. first building boom came in the forties,
about the time of the gold rush, followed b\
another great period first in the fifties. Chi-
cago was soon connected with the rest of the
world by railroad, and pioneer families, \ouiig
and old, from every part of the. globe found
way to the W^onder City. Thrift) tradesmen
and builders made their fortune overnight,
and b\ the time of the Civil War in ISb.i
and under the glory of Abraham Lincoln's
name, Chicago and the State of Illinois be-
came a stronghold of the dawning world
power, the United States of America. The
city witnessed several dreadful disasters. Al-
iea.:\ a U\\ \uirs alter the mcorporation a
tire ilesti(i\ed all the buildings near Foit
D^arb.M]!, anil a few \ears later a flood took
r.iaii) l:\es anil di.stro>ed all llie ships in
Chicago's lirst harbor. In the middle ot tlu-
century anotht.r flood again tried to crush the
growing cit\ . but once more Chicago showed
its spirit "1 WILL," and- within a few \eais
new and better buildings were erected, and
the harbor anil the low hauls piotecteil.
The greatest of all disasters e\er to strike
Chicago was the big fire in 1871, with a
loss of thousands of lives and piopertv dam-
ages amounting to hundreds of nu'llions ,)(
dollars. The fire razed the heart ot the
cit\, but even this terrible catastrophe did not
crush the confidence of the. people. Again
the sentiment "1 WILL," and a mutual and
gi(i I urulerstanding among the citizens won
out. In place of the old colonial st\ le frame
houses the first skvscrapers were built, some of
which are still to be found in the. heart ot tin-
Lo ip, conuuemorating an eventful era in Chi-
cago's history.
Several gre.it movements should be iUen-
lioned ill our tribute to Chicago. First of
all the school svstem. one ot the most out-
standing in the. W(jild todav ; the chain o;
paiks, plavgiouiids ariii boulevards; an<l in
the later yeajs the chain of beautiful beaches

.M;'.ir, other fac.s should be told our \isir-
o:s. Capable business men and builders cre-
ated two of the greatest World's Fairs, the
Columbian Exyosifon in 1892-1803, and the
Ctnennial Jubilee in 1933-1934, b\- which
the cit\ ot Chicazo celebrated 100 years of
f.icccss and at the same, time showed the
world that such an enormous undertakin;j can
li? made without a financial loss.
\\c dare to boast of the greatest fire de-
partments .-uid the most efficient police de-
partment ; public hospitals, museums, libraries,
with branches all over the town, and a good-
transportation system, consisting of street car
and bus service to w-ithin every point of the
city. J'hc. elevated system built in connection
with the World's Fair in 1892 is being fol-
lowed by the subwav now under construction.
National depressif)n and \aricius financial
crashes have, also hit Chicago, but guided b>
a well balanced- administration and throug/i
cooperation with the State and- National
Go\ernments, the City of Chicago has been
able to overcome its fin.incial dif fiiidtie- atnl
is now lated not only the cit\ ot wealth, but
also the citv of initiative power.

} Brother Sonnicksen of Danish Brotherhood
1 No. 17 recommends three important points'
I to be lived up to, namely: I
1. Membership
.\ drive should be made for new mem-
bers. There is plenty of timber if we r
will only take the time to go and gel j
th.-m.
2. Co-operation —
Co-operation in the organization be
tween all lodges and members should be ]
practiced to the best of one's ability, j
3. Law Enforcement — j
Every lodge should strictly live up to
the by-laws. Failure to do so will be ■
a ruination to the individual lodge. ,

of Cincinnati. O.. passrl
away on the high seas that he
traveled over >o many times in
order to visit his mother coun-
try, tens of thousands here and
abroad were in deep sorrow.
John Christensen was be-
lovf.^- by youn<: and old. and
he made friends wherever he
went. He understood and prac-
ticed fraternity in its deeper
<ensc. His jrencosin' reached
tar beyond the bounds of the
usual fraternal obligations. His
consciousness encompassed a
s>Tnpathet:c nature that coulH
only do goo,^ and could do •
harm.
John Christensen was n^<\
f^n'y a great success in business.
Hur also in the world of fratcr-
nql activity. His conduct in
his h'>mr was exemplified by
the same loving disposition he
rxpressed through his ever>da\
channels of action in the out-
side world.
He was a splendid worker,
untiring and enthusiastic in all
his undertakings, and a true friend with a
magnetic personality that won him the respect
and love of all with whom he came in contact.
His death was a great shock to his family
and his many friends. We shaU all remember

.S.<
him for the kindness and love he so freely
und unselti>hl> bestowed upon all, who had
the privilege ot knowiiiy him and assotiatin;^
with him.
John Christen>en « a> born in Aailui>, Ueii-
niark, on October 14, 1S7.S. 11< lelt hi.
home when he was onl> fourteen >ear> old
to bet'ome a sailor. He arri\ed in the I'nited
Slates in \^90 and was married in IS'M to
\li5> Marie |en>en.
^lli^ wa> at the. beginning; ot the panic, and
jobs were i;ettin>; scarce. He, therefore, took
an\ odd job he could j;et, wliich included that
of shoxelinj; coal from coal cars.
He managed to save cnoujzh mone) to start
a hardware store^ which was run b\ his wife,
his lovelv and itulefatif^able life companion,
while he worked for the Bil};ram .Machine
Works in Philadelphia. He took care of busi-
ness details in connection with the store when
he came home from work in the eveniiifis.
In 1908 he and Mr. Spren j. Sorensen, who
later became his partner in a successful busi-
ness undertaking, noticed that a great amount
of gear work was coming into the market
Irom Cincinnati, so the> bought a carload of
machinery and sent it to a city (Cincinnati)
they had never seen. Then followed the be-
ginning of the Cincinnati Clear Company .
which has since grown to be an important
and well known commercial organization in
the United States.
The Cincinnati Ciear Company gave em-
ployment through its kindhearted managers
to many Danes in the course ot time.
Not only did practically every Dane who
came to Cincinnati seeking a job, get work
through the assistance of John Christensen
and his partner, but they also reciaved finan-
cial assistance and g(X)d advice.
While in Philadelphia John Christensen
joined the local Danish Brotherhood Lodge
No. 172, and the local Danish Society. He
served as prtiident and held other official
positions in both organizations. In l^iO he
was a delegate to the Danish Brotherhood
.National Convention in Council Bluffs, Iowa.
in 19v)9 he was instrumentl in organizing
the Danish Brotherhood Lodge No. 281 in
Cincinnati. In 191(1 he was again chosen a
delegate, to the D. B. S. National Convention
at Fresno, California, and in 1915 to the
National Convention at St. Paul, Mitmesota.
Here he was elected as Supreme Trustee of
the order. At the convention in .Milwaukee,
Wisconsin, in 19 19, he was elected as Sup-
le.ne Chairman ol the Trustees, .^t the con-
vention in St. Louis, .Missouri, in I'L'.i, he
was rlecred as Supremi. \'ice President and at
the convention in Omaha in 1927 he was
elec.ed to the highest office of the order,
na.nelv Suprune President. This office he
iield for eight consecutive years. But he was
loo active iti bodv and mind not to be on ihe
liring line of the order he loved and cherished.
Wlun he was asked to take the important
position as chairman of the finance committee
ot the Danish Brotherhood, he accepted with
a smile in that usual spirit of willingness thai
ranks among his many loving characteristics.
John Christensen started life on the ocean,
he loved the ocean and died on the ocean. H-.'
was on his way to dear Old Denmark ac--
companied by several members of his familv
and many friends, among them Supreme Pres-
ident N. B. Nelson of the Danish Brother-
hood. .Mr. .Nrlson and .Mr. Christensen weic
appointed, bv thi. Supreme Board to present a
Danish Brotherhood gift to H. K. H. King
Chr. \ of Denmark in connection with the
2Sth anniversary of his reign.
In 192S John Christensen was decorated
hv King Chr. X of Denmark with the Order
ot "Kidder af Dannebrog," and suffice it to
say that no one ever deserved this honor
more than he.
John Christensen did not reach Denmark
on this his last trip across the Atlantic, but
hi. reached much farther than Denmark, he
reached- into the heart and soul of every per-
son with whom he had come in contact on
this earth and he drew from our inner cham-
ber more than eve.r the acknowledgement of
his loyalty to humanity, his friendship and
fraternal spirit. We shall alwavs cherish
his inemory, and we hope to follow the pre-
cepts of his many good deeds, his unselfish
love, and labor in behalf of progress, peace
ami prosperity.
To his wife, .Mrs. .\Liric Christensen. hu
chili'.ren Mrs. .XLuv .Nielsen, .Mrs. Kannv
Jensen, .Mr. Paul \\'. Christensen and .Mr.
Charles Christensen, we e.xtend our Sinci- est
fraternal greetings, thanking them for their
share in the splendid service to humanity of
their beloved husband and tatlur, John
Christensen.

Danskes Liv i Chicago
FOR et Hundred og en halv Snes Aar ;.iden
var Chicago en t'attig Nybyggerlejr at
Stolpehu?Cs bygget i spredt Formation vcd
Chicagotlodens Udlob i Michigansoen. Ste-
det. Chicagos \'ugge, var ct \aadt og sumpct
K<er, der ofte ved Hojvandstide blev beskyl-
let af Soens og Flod-ens Stroninic. Et msg-
tigt Opfyldingsarbejde maatte til for Byens
Fsedre kunde fa^rdes ude og inde udcn vaadc
Fbdder.
De statelige og niindre statelige Skyskra-
bere. der i Dag knejser over Ka'ret, staar paa
75 til 100 Fed lange Ben at Jernbeton. hvis
Fodder, er fastnaglet til Stenlaget under
Sum pen.
Talrige Indianere. Botler og Mosquitoes
leve.d^ stridsmsssigt for og af hinanden — li-
gesom Arbejde.re og Kapitalister, Forbrydere
og "Pansere" gor i vore Dage — indtil Hvi-
deansigterne uanmeldt hjulede ind pr. Trille-
bor. Pra?rieskonnert, .T.sel og Hesteryg og
indtog Chicago, som Indianernc. hvade ddbt
Stedet efter Floden, og Floden for Stedet.
Indianerne stred som gode Patrioter mod
de Hvides Overtagelse af Urfolkcts Hjemsted
og Levefelt, indtil de overvundne. ved Hja?lp
af Onkel Sams Soldater, maatte vige vest-
paa til Wisconsins dybe Skove.
Et sidste sejrrigt Kampl0b mod He for-
hadte Indvandrere der, da de saa sig truet.
vilde flygte fra Fort Dearborns Stolpevold.
er mesterligt tegne-t i et flot Monument, der
nu er forflyttet til Byens nye Historisk Mu-
seum i Lincoln Park, af den navnkundige
d-anske Billedhugger, Rohl Smith, der ogsaa
var Skaber af andre Meste.rv^rker herovre.
bl. a. det store Sherman Monument i Wash-
ington, D. C, og Moderskikkelsen — Iowa
— ved Statskapitoliet i Des Moines. To
andre kendte Monumenter bvgget af danskc.
Haeiider fra Chicago er Hans Christian An-
dersen Statuen i Lincoln Park af Johannes
Gelert. sksenket til Byen af Danske Forenin-
ger og Menigheder. og en pragtfuld Rytter-
statue. General Sherman, i samme Park, af
Gutzon Borglum. .
Danskernes Indvandring til Chicago ind-
lededes af Peter T. Allen for 102 Aar siden.
Allen der var Sbmand-, \andt Navnkundighed
som Skipper og Skibsforer paa Lake Mich-
gaiis ferskc. farligc \'ande. Senerc blev han
Fabrikant. falleredc. derefter Agent i Isen-
kram tilsid^st fandt han Havn i det danske
Aidcrdomshjc.:n i Norwood Park, hvor han,
fom barnks Enkemand. dode 1908. Paa Bc-
giavclsespladfen, hvor mange af der gode
Hienis henfarnc Gxster hviier, staar Navnet
Allen indnic"slet i en graa Granitsten, under
den er St0vct af Chicagos f0rste Dansker
:cmt og, dessva?rre, ogsaa glemt af de fleste,
t.hrods for, at han var en kendt og skatter
Skikkelsc. i Chicagos brogede L'ngdomsliv.
Af andre danske Somsnd, — der var mange
— i hine Dage, som fra de salte Have flyttede
til Lake Michigan og blev Fragtskipprre for
Mitngder af Tommer og Sten fra Wisconsin,
Alinnesota og Michigan, der maatte hid-
fcrcs for Opbygning af det voldsomt vok-
sende Chicago, — var bl. a. Jorgen Petersen —
bedst kendt und-er Navnet. "The Old
Hvale" — d«n gamle Hval sejlede hid det
fbrste Lokomotiv, som skulde hale Tog over
Tra?skmner med Jernbeslag ind og ud af
Datidcns Chicago.
Biandt det unge Chicagos danske Forret-
ningsmajnd maa i forste R<ekke n<pvnes An-
drew J. Aloller. Kobenhavner, og George
Hansen, Odensianer. Moller cller Miller
efter afndret Navn kom til Chicago biandt
d* fbrste efter Peter Allen og blev dennes
godf. \'en og Omgangsfjelle. Moller kom
med dansk Studenterhue paa sit Use Hoved ;
da han intet Embede kunde finde nedsatte
han sig som Barber. Hans forste Kunde var
en udvist svcjisk Baron, som han havde truf-
!ct og bleven fortrolig med paa Skibet. der
bar dem bort fra Norden. Svensken skulde
have fri Barbering hos Mbller, blot han vilde
konime og vcd sin Naervaerelse og sin fine
Titel avertere Forretningen. Forbindelsen
ophorte dog snart. takket vaere Mollers
L'kendskab med Barberfaget og Svcnskerens
L'vilje mo,^- de Skrammer og Flaenger, som be-
standig blev ham tildelt i Student Mollers
Barb'.-stol, og da det i hin Tid var paa Mode
biandt Ma;nd at lade Skaeg og Haar gro
vildt og uhindret som Sivet ved Soens Rand,
maatte Moller snart tage Skiltet ned og
lukkc Butikken. Moller var vistnok Chi-

\'isedikteren Carl Hansen og den beromte
gamle Orn, Dr. Max Henius — Rebildfes-

De forannsvnte Msnd, der alle, med- L'nd-
tagelse af Norman Hansen, er under Muldc.
cr her n:tvnt fordi de hver tor sig ved de.res
Liv og (lerning gjorde meget til at det danske
Navn vandt Anseelse i Chicago. Gode tOreii-
I'f Kr:ette.r \ar de tillige i Danskhedens R:t'k-
kor herovre, hvor deres Trotasthed og le\ende
K.erlighed til Hjemlandets Kultur og Minder
satte Liv og Glod i det aandelige. Brob\g-
ningsarbejde mellem Danske ude og hjemme,
som disse Maend i fsllig med mange andre
at vore hensovede Pionerer ivasrksatte.
Af danske Foreninger, Loger og Menig-
heder bar Chicago henimod to Snese, og bar
hatt tlere. Menighedernes Tal er 3 e.Uer 6.
Den ;eldste at disse er Trinitatis. af Grundt-
vigsk Retning. stiftet f0rst i Halvfjerserne.
Trinitatis smukke Kirke er beliggende. paa
Francisco og Cortez St. ; et riimmeligt dant^k
Bornehjem findes i saninie Nabolag und<fr
Kirkens Ledelse. De tk^^te af vore Forenin-
gers og Logers Formaal drejer sig om S>ge og
Hegravelsesbjtflp og selskabelig Sammenkomst,
lien leldste, n;cst efter Dania, er \'alhalla,
iiDgle og liaK tres Aar gammel. Valhalla ejede
en (iang >in egen flotte Bygning paa Syd-
^iden og \ar en Tid Iang Chicago st0rste og
sta'rkeste Forening. Ka?mpe.rne er blegnet.
Skaren blev mindre. Nu er det Negre der
hugges om Mj0den og Fhfsket i \'alhallas
gamle Hus, d*r en Gang stod til Pr\d for det
oniliggende danske K\arter eller Nabolag,
som nu er fordrevet \ed de Sortes Iiuhand-
ling. Den stOrste danske Foreningsbvgning
i den Del af Byen, liengtre mod Syd, er Odin
Hall, der tilh0rer Danmarksloge. No. 35, en
af Chicagos st0rste og mest foretagsomme
Brod-erloger.
Nogle faa af Koloniens mange Foreninger
lever og virker udelukkende. for Dyrkelse af
Sang, Literatur. Teater. Foredrag, Dans og
Ci\ninastik. Af disse maa na'vnes i f0rste
Rifkke Sangforeningen Harmoincn, der stif-
tcdtvs i ISSb og er den ;eldste af n;evnte
Gruppc. Harmoniens Kor er vidtberejst og
har vundet Hieder herovre, saavel som i Dan-
mark for Iang, tro og evnerig L'dfoldelse i
Sangens Tjeneste.. Dansk Arbejd<rr-sangf(jr-
ening eller Danish Cjlee Club, som Nawiet
nu er, stiftedes i 1897 og er ligesoiii det
ii'klre Broderkor en tro Tje^ier og D\ rker af
dansk Mandssang i Chicago. Danish Glee
Club ejer en rummelig Bygning, med La?se-
stue, Festsal og Kslderbev;crtning — et hyg-
geligt, danskspr;egt.t Hus hvor god Sang, og
Rcdaktor Paul Hoff Kunsts morsomme Revy-
forestillinger har hjemme. Damesangforenin-
gen Illinois har ligeledes i mange Herrens .Aar
sunget af trofast Sind og Hjerte for Kolo-
nien, men dcsvsrre uden den rigtige I'ilslut
iiing, Opnumtring og Stdtte, som maa til fpi
et Sangkor kan rigtig trives og vokse sig
st;erk og f\ldig i Toneslage.t. Mange andre
Sangkor har levet og efterladt gode Minder
1 Kolonien. saasom Hejmdal, Magneten,
Hartman L\ ric Club og senest Hamlet.
Dansk Lngdomsforening, som fornylig
fejrede 50 Aars Jubila?um, er ligesoni Sang-
foreningerne anlagt for ideel Stra?ben. Ung-
domsforeningen bestaar ikke af lutter L ng-
d«m, men den er dog stadig ung nok, ogsaa
gammeldags nok til at lade sig underholde
ved Liesning af Literatur og Foredrag.
La-sekredsen "Tvlvten' 'er en aiuleii >iiart
50 aarig gammel Knast i Chicagos daa>ke
Foreningsliv. Tylvtens Medlemsantal er ;.oni
Na\net antyder 12-Mand, men da de tol\
.Miends Hustruer ogsaa er Medlenuner, burde
Foreningens Navn jo egentlig forstprres.
T\lvten anskaffer, omdeler, la?ser og dr0fter
V1..I .M0der, der afholdes hveranden .Maaned i
Medlemmernes Hjem, dc.t njeste og bedste af
dansk og amerikansk Literatur. De viseste
danske Hoveder i Chicago er T>lvtens.
Dansk Amerikansk Atletklub, der dyrkcr
Folke*lans og Gymnastik efter .Niels Bukhs
.\lon>ter, er maaske Koloniens li\ligste og
popuUercste Forening. Der taler man og
s\nger dansk fra forste til tredie Generation.
