 *■ 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. ,

 John Christensen was be-

 he made friends wherever he 
 went. He understood and prac- 
 ticed fraternity in its deeper 
 <ensc. His jrencosin' reached

 consciousness encompassed a

 John Christensen was n^<\

 the same loving disposition he

 He was a splendid worker, 
 untiring and enthusiastic in all 
 his undertakings, and a true friend with a

 .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

 Suphus F. Neble, naar ban besSgte Chicago. 
 \'isedikteren Carl Hansen og den beromte 
 gamle Orn, Dr. Max Henius — Rebildfes- 
 icrnes og Ud-vandrerarkivets Stifter. 
 
 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.

 Sy<lsidens stOrste danskc Sammenslutning. og 
 under eget Tag, i den kendtc Odin Hall, 
 paa Hjornet af Stewart Avenue og Normal

 sidcnt, og tiltrods for at kun faa Danskc er 
 bosat i denne Bvdel naaede Medlemstal let 6"'

 have ansporct Br0drenc i South Chicago til 
 Samling og Arbejde, og ved enhver Lejlighed 
 bar Loge Nr. 61 kunnet h^vde sir Navii paa 
 den smukkcstc Maade.
