  	The largest number of citizens in many years gathered at Delburne United Church on October 2nd to pay their last respects to Mr. Neils Christensen, highly respected and well-known businessman of Delburne. He passed away in Red Deer hospital on September 29th at the age of 64 years. Mr. Christensen was born at Aalborg, Denmark, on June 22, 1894, and migrated to Canada in 1919, and came to the Service district near Lousana, and took up farming. In 1925 he was married to Mary Bulloch of the Lousana district. The family moved to the Lousana district in 1936 and entered the general store business; and in 1940 they moved to Delburne when Mr. Christensen purchased the Delburne Meat Market from Harold Hesketh. The locker plant has been built since that time. Mr. Christensen was always interested in community affairs and served a term on the village council. He was a member of the Masonic fraternity, serving as its Master in Delburne in 1949; and was also a member of Delburne Chapter, Order of the Eastern Star. Left to mourn his passing are his widow, of Delburne; three sons: Howard and John of Delburne, and Albert of St. Sylvester, P.Q.; one brother, Axel of Delburne, one sister, Mrs. Ingaborg Rasmussen of Copenhagen; and two brothers, Peter and Harold also in Denmark. There are five grandchildren. Members of the Masonic Order attended the church service, and held a special ceremony at the gaveside; and the ladies of the Order of the Easter Star formed the choir in the church. A number of the Royal Danish Guards of Calgary, of which the deceased was a member, attended gthe service and formed a guard of honor at its conclusion.
