Mrs. Mathias Andersen of Diamond Lake, Is Called To Eternal Rest
Mrs. Dorthea Andersen was born in Oksenvad, Slesvig, January 18, 1865. She was married to Wilhelm Habenteht in 1893. To this union a daughter, Margreta, was born. In 1896 her husband died on consumption, and she emigrated to America in 1902 and came to Diamond Lake township, where in 1903 she was united in marriage to Mathias Andersen.
Mrs. Andersen was a sincere Christian woman and earnestly endeavored to practice Christianity in her daily life. Through her the influence of a Godly life was felt in the every day affairs of the community. God's work, prayers, and songs were a part of her family life. She was a faithful supporter of the Danish Lutheran church, and met Sunday after Sunday at its services as long as her health permitted. She was a firm believer in the sacraments of the church and was grieved when she felt that many had little or no regard for them. She knew of the struggle for eternal life. Without struggle no victory, without the cross, no crown.
When the terrible disease of cancer finally told her that death was approaching she found that she had gained many friends who often came to bring some rays of sunshine to her in her last journey, and before she passed away she was praying and longing for the time when the portals of heaven would be opened to her.
The end came on April 3, 1934 and her earthly sufferings are now o'er. Funeral services were held from the Diamond Lake Lutheran church Friday afternoon, April 6, conducted by Rev. K. Jensen-Hansen, pastor, assisted by Rev. Holger Strandskov of Tyler. Interment was made in the Diamond Lake Danish cemetery. The hymn composed from the 7th chapter of Revelations was sung at the services. Besides her husband she leaves two sons, Hans P. Andersen of Kalamazoo, Mich., and Iver C. Andersen, who resides at home, to mourn her loss. Her daughter, Margreta, preceded her in death in 1914.
Peace be with her memory. "Blessed is the memory of the righteous, who have overcome the tribulations of the world, and are now standing bere God's and the Lamb's throne, clothed in white garments, and with palms in their hands, singing and praising God forever."
Emigration from Denmark in 1902
Mother of Anne Margrethe Habenicht from this previous marriage.
Emigrated to the USA when Anne Margrethe was 8 years old.

Kristen Andersen
Kristen Andersen passed away at his home in Drammen township on Wednesday, September 14. Death was due to an attack of acute peritonitis. With Kristen Andersen a faithful community worker, a good friend to many and a staunch pillar of the Danish Lutheran church has passed on to his eternal rest. Kristen Andersen was born in Denmark October 12, 1868 and had reached the age of 58 years and 11 months. About twenty-nine years ago he emigrated to the State of Minnesota and settled in Drammen township where he resided on his farm until his death.

All three are at home and help on the farm.
The funeral was held on Friday Sept. 16, from the Danish Lutheran church of which the deceased had been a life long member, and the large attendance bore evidence of the high esteem in which he was held among all the people here where he had been a good and useful citizen so many years. The Reverend Thv. Kjaer spoke words of hope and sympathy to the bereaved family gathered around the bier and a number of floral pieces showed the sympathy felt for the widow and her children. The earthly remains were the laid to rest in the cemetery of the Danish Lutheran church of Diamond Lake in this pretty spot where so many of our pioneers have found their last resting place - never more beautiful and significant than in a quite harvest evening.

Mathias Andersen
Mathias Andersen was born at Forslet Mark, Kolding, Denmark June 27, 1863. He came t o America, landing at New York, August 12th, 1881. He first located Lyons, Iowa and came to Lincoln County on March 3rd, 1886, purchasing railroad land in section 33, Diamond Lake township. Mr. Andersen remained single until March 17th, 1903 when he was united in marriage to Koren Dorthea Iversen of Gjesten Skov, Denmark. Two sons were born to the union: Hans Peter Andersen and Iver C. Andersen. Mrs. Andersen passed away in 1934. When Mr. Andersen first came to Lincoln County he resided with an uncle in two rooms over a stable for eleven years. He related that Mr. Eiler Thomsen was the first Danish settler in Diamond Lake township. Mr. Andersen has acted as township treasurer, school clerk and secretary of the Danish Lutheran church, Diamond Lake, of which he was on of the organizers and a devoted and faithful member.
Mr. Andersen was a well-to-do farmer and a man of strict integrity and upright character. He was highly respected in the community in which he resided his adult life. Mathias Andersen was born June 27, 1863 in Fovslet Mark, Kolding Denmark, one of nine children of Hans Peter and Ane Marie Andersen. He came to America in August, 1881, living for five years in Clinton, Iowa, working in a sawmill, on a railroad, and on a farm. He arrived in Diamond Lake on March 3, 1886 where he lived on a farm with his uncle, Peter Christensen. On March 17, 1903, he was united in marriage to Karen Dorthea Iversen Habenicht. Two sons were born to them, Hans Peter Andersen who lived in Berkeley California until his death, and Iver Christian Andersen, who lived across the highway from Diamond Lake Church. Iver was a member and one of the workers of Diamond Lake Church. Anne Margrethe Habenicht, a daughter of Mrs. Andersen's previous marriage, lived with this happy family until her sudden death in August, 1914 at the age of 19 years. Uncle Matt, as he was known to so may of us, retired from their farm along Highway 75 in 1925 and moved to the home by the church where he lived the last 21 years of his life. His wife, Dorthea, passed away on April 3 1934. Mathias continued to live at this home with his son Iver, who was now established in the production and selling of honey. Iver was the first, at least in this community, to have a Honey Stand by the highway, where honey was for sale in a self serve way, which the sign saying "Take the honey, leave the money".
Mathias Andersen served as President of the congregation for a number of years, and later Iver also served in this capacity. Hans and his family lived in Berkeley California where he was employed by Cutter Laboratories.
On Sunday March 19, 1928, the congregation celebrated the Silver Wedding Anniversary of Mathias and Dorthea Andersen. It started with church services, and the celebration of Holy Communion at the Diamond Lake Church. The President of District VI, Reverend J. J. Lerager, was guest speaker at the services. The pastor of the church, Reverend Thorvald Kjaer, served at the Communion Table. Following the services, a reception and dinner was held in honor of Mr. and Mrs. Andersen at the hall. They were presented with a gift from the congregation. Later in the afternoon we again gathered at the church. A program of speeches and song was carried out, and the pastor used as his text the 23rd Psalm. On this festive day, one of the many songs sung was one written by Mrs. Thorvald Kjaer for the occasion.
Mathias Andersen was a faithful worker throughout his life at the Diamond Lake Church. Whenever we gathered for any festival, silver or golden anniversary, he nearly always had written one song or more especially for the occasion. He always had a word to speak to those gathered and when he peacefully slept away on the morning of July 25, 1946, and the age of 83 years and 23 days, there was an empty place in the church, in our homes when we as friends and relatives were assembled, as well as in his own home.
