Part 1 Karen M. Jensen Narrative, updated 26 Feb 18 Although in this sketch I refer to the Bondo parents as Christian and Karen, they were more-often known as L. C. and Carrie. Christian immigrated first. Laurits Christian Fog Christian Bondo ( ) was born to Niels Gumme Bondo, a parish priest, and Ana Petra Elisabeth Fog in Faaborg Sogn, Svendborg Amt. Faaborg is a scenic town of about 7,000 in the southwest part of the island of Fyn. Many members of Christian Bondo's family were Lutheran clergy in Denmark. Christian's uncle, Bruun Juul Fog, was bishop of Sjælland for ten years and Christian's younger brother, Peter Bruun Juul Bondo, served as dean of Roskilde Cathedral. Christian Bondo immigrated around 1865, probably from Vallensbæk Sogn, Copenhagen Amt, where his father was parish priest at the time. By1867 he was employed by Peter and Rachel Peterson of southwestern Boomer Township. About Peter Peterson: Peter Peterson ( ) mentioned above was the first known Danish settler in the Boomer Township area. Peter Peterson had been a miner in California and in 1862, after returning to Denmark for a visit, bought and settled on the Robert Kent farm in Boomer Township, Section 36. Peter Peterson married his housekeeper, the Civil War widow Rachel (Cady) Shadden, and Peter and Rachel had eight children. Peter Peterson, like many of the later Danish settlers in the Boomer Township area, came from the Stevns peninsula on the island of Sjælland south of Copenhagen. The Peter Peterson farm and several nearby farms were located along North Pigeon creek on the site of Bybee's Camp, established in Bybee's Camp was one of many temporary settlements in the Council Bluffs area where Mormons paused for several years before continuing to Utah. When the United States Government opened Pottawattamie County land for sale in 1853, speculators acquired most of the nearby land. In 1862 when Peter Peterson bought his farm, speculators still owned large amounts of raw land, both timber and prairie, just a few miles distant. Peter Peterson's farm was well situated to serve as the nucleus for the Boomer Township Danes who began to arrive in the late 1860s. The road north from Crescent into Boomer Township forked at the Peter Peterson farmstead. One branch continued along North Pigeon Creek. The main branch turned east, crossed North Pigeon Creek, ascended McKeown hill, and then turned north and followed a ridgeline for several miles, as county road L36, also known as Clearwater Avenue, does today. From 1879 to 1884 the Harrison post office was located at the Peter Peterson farm. Perhaps this post office was named Harrison because the original road, from Mormon Days, ended at Harris Grove in Harrison County. KarenMJensenFamily.docx 17 February 2018

2 Peter Peterson's two oldest children married siblings, sons of Thomas Thomas and Martha Evans, Mormon immigrants from Wales who had backtrailed to Boomer Township from Utah and California. The Peter Peterson and the Thomas Thomas families are the subjects of an interesting family history, Two Families from Boomer Township. Karen M. Carrie Jensen ( ), sometimes known as Karen Hendriksen, was born to Jens Christian Hendriksen and Kirsten Pedersen in Dronninglund Sogn, Hjørring Amt, northeast of Aalborg. Both Karen s parents were born in Dronninglund Sogn. Karen Jensen s Lutheran father died in 1859 when Karen was thirteen. In 1861, her mother, having converted to the Mormon faith some years earlier, immigrated to Utah with Karen s two youngest siblings. Karen declined to accompany her mother, and remained behind. Karen Jensen immigrated from Dronninglund Sogn to the Council Bluffs area of Iowa in 1867 with Gregers Marcus Poulsen Acton, his wife, and their seven children who ranged in age from fifteen down to an infant. About the Gregers Acton family: In the 1860 Denmark census, Gregers Marcus Poulsen Acton and his wife, Dorthe Marie Nielsen, were enumerated in Dronninglund Sogn. Unfortunately, the 1865 Dronninglund census has not been transcribed. In 1867 Gregers, his wife, and their seven children who ranged in age from fifteen down to an infant immigrated, bringing along Karen Jensen. I have not been able to find their immigration records. On June 5, 1867, Gregers Acton bought land in Boomer Township, Section 29. Why did the Acton family, newly immigrants from the Aalborg area, happen to pick Boomer Township in which to settle, thus setting the stage for the union of Christian Bondo and Karen Jensen? I now know the answer, and it lies with another Dronninglund family. About Christian Pedersen/Peterson: Christian Pedersen (Peterson in the United States), his wife Ane Margrete Christensen, and their first two children emigrated from Dronninglund in a Mormon company with other relatives in Christian and Ane Margrete did not go on to Utah but lived in Missouri, Kansas and Nebraska before On April 25 and June 5, 1867 Christian Peterson bought farmland in Boomer Township and in 1868 the Christian Peterson family moved to their new farm, where Christian and Ane Margrete remained until their death. The Christian Peterson and Gregers Acton families were both from Dronninglund Sogn. As explained in A House Divided, Mrs. Christian Peterson and Karen Jensen, who was employed by the Acton family, were first cousins. Gregers Acton bought land in Boomer Township on the same day, June 5, 1867, as Christian Peterson bought his second parcel of Boomer land. In this example of chain migration, the Acton family s move to Boomer was influenced by Christian Peterson s April and June land purchases. Christian and Karen together: The road to the Acton farmstead in Boomer Township went past the Peter Peterson farm. Evidently Laurits Christian Bondo, employed by Peter Peterson, and Karen Jensen, the Acton's hired girl, soon met. In Karen, A Forsaken Little Girl, based on an interview with Karen (Jensen/Hendriksen) Bondo in 1925, their meeting is described Karen M. Carrie Jensen & Laurits Christian L. C. Bondo 24 February 2018 page 2

3 thusly: "When Laurits first saw Karen if was as if 'someone had hit him on the forehead with a mallet'." Laurits Christian Bondo and Karen Jensen were married by a local justice of the peace on May 5, 1968, about one year after Karen immigrated. I suspect that the Acton family had mixed feelings about this marriage. They had brought her to America the previous year. Mary Acton's eighth and final child was born in June And in February 1869 Gregers Acton died and was buried in the Reel's Cemetery just northwest of the Peter Peterson farm. Mary Acton's boys were old enough to handle the farming, but the oldest Acton girl was only thirteen when her father died. Later the Acton family and Karen Jensen shared one bond. Several Acton family members, including the widow, Mary, adhered to the Seventh Day Adventist religion. And Karen (Jensen) Bondo, before St. Paul's Lutheran Church was established in Boomer Township in 1881, sent her children to Adventist school for religious instruction. After marrying, Christian and Karen Bondo are thought to have worked on railroad construction in the area, perhaps with Christian as a teamster and Karen as a cook. Christian and Karen Bondo settled in a "simple block house" near the west end of the land in Section 30 purchased jointly by Christian Bondo and John Sanderson in Here their first two children were born, my great-uncle by marriage, Peter Bondo, in 1869 and Minnie Bondo, later Minnie Christoffersen, in In May 1870, Christian Bondo and John Sanderson split their 123-acre property, with Christian Bondo assuming ownership of the west portion of 86 acres. In 1872, the Christian Bondo family left Boomer Township. They moved about eight miles to the southeast, from the partially-wooded land on the leeward side of the loess hills to prairie land in Hazel Dell Township, Section 11. Their home place in Hazel Dell Township has remained in the Bondo family and is currently owned by Paul Christoffersen, a great-grandson of Christian and Karen Bondo. In 1899, after several of their older children were married, the Christian Bondo family moved a short distance to Hazel Dell Township, Section 1 and their oldest daughter, Minnie, and her husband, Martin Christoffersen, took over the Bondo home place in Section 11. In the 1902 Hazel Dell Township plat, L. C. Bondo has assembled a farm of 328 acres in Section 1, and this farm contains at least two sets of buildings. About half of this substantial farm had earlier been the farms of Martin Christoffersen's father, Jorgen, and Martin's brother, C. J. Christoffersen. I have heard that Christian's grandson, Harvey Hansen, later included Christian and Karen's farmstead in Section 1. Below are brief sketches for families of the ten children of Christian and Karen Bondo. Full dates are in Part 2. More information is in the family reports for St. Paul s Lutheran Church, Boomer Neola, accessed from the St. Paul s area of the website bigpigeon.us. < Oluf Peter Peter Bondo ( ) married Alvina Winnie Rasmussen ( ) in Winnie Rasmussen was the daughter of St. Paul s early members Lars Christian Rasmussen and Karen Marie Andersen who lived in Boomer Township just west of St. Paul s.

The seven children of Peter and Winnie Bondo, of whom the youngest two died as infants, are listed below. Of interest: Esther and Lillie Bondo, the two oldest children of Peter and Winnie Bondo, both married young men who had emigrated from Denmark before World War I and then served in World War I. Esther's future husband, Carl Magnussen, immigrated in 1912, and Lillie's future husband, Oluf Larsen, immigrated in Both Carl Magnussen and Oluf Larsen worked as farm hands in the St. Paul's community before marrying. In fact, both had worked for Esther and Lillie's father, Peter Bondo. = Esther Henrietta Bondo ( ) married Carl Emil Magnussen ( ) in Carl Magnussen was born in Hobro parish, Randers county, Denmark to Anders Peter Nicolaus Magnussen and Ane Marie Jensen.

Oluf was a farmhand in the St. Paul s area, a non-commissioned officer in Company B, 109 th Engineering Battalion of the Iowa National Guard during World War I, and then worked for Peter S. Peterson in Underwood before marrying. After marrying, Oluf and Lillie bought the John Scott farm in Hazel Dell Township, Section 22. They lived together on this farm for over 50 years, although the farmhouse burned in May Lillie died suddenly at age 78, probably from a heart attack.
