	Was born in Denmark, October 28, 1856, and resided at his 
birthplace till 1872, during which time he received a common school education in 
the Danish language. He arrived in San Francisco October 20, 1872, and came 
immediately to Point Arena, Mendocino county, where he worked at the butcher 
business for sixteen months for Niels Iverson. He then went to Little River and 
ran Mahlman�s livery-stable for six months. He then returned to Point Arena and 
was variously employed at working in the brewery, shingle mill, sailing, etc., 
until at last he purchased a farm about ten miles south of Arena, comprising two 
hundred and eighty-five acres, which he conducted until July,  1879, when he 
sold it, and purchased the livery stable in Arena, which business he is at 
present conducting. He is not married, and is a genial, pleasant, obliging 
gentleman, and deserves success in business.
