Hans Christianson next to Wife's Grave
| Norwegian-American farm laborer, Hans Christianson (age 44), stands next to the grave of his childless wife, Karen Luis Christianson, born 1829, who died June 13, 1873, perhaps in childbirth as suggested by the small tombstone at the foot of her grave. The grave is located adjacent to St. Paul's Liberty Lutheran Church which was erected on Liberty Prairie in 1851. Reproduced and described in David Mandel's Settlers of Dane County: The Photographs of Andreas Larsen Dahl (Dane County Cultural Affairs Commission, 1985), p. 21-23. |
