Narrative
This note is from Beverly Peterson's family tree:
Chris was a very devout Christian. He donated to many church-related groups. He spent the last years of his life at Richland Homes, a nursing-home facility.
Beverley D. Peterson: Chris had pure white hair by the time I got to know him, about 1949, and had a white mustache. He was a very distinguished man with a thick Danish accent. He seemed to me to be more of a listener than a talker. Later he shaved off his mustache and it took all of us by surprise. It was so much a part of him, that he just didn't look like himself without it. He spent much time alone. He was very generous to his church and to various Christian charities.

Narrative
According to Gorden Lee Morrison: "Chris never married that I know of and owned a farm outside of Sidney. Very quiet and very religious. This was taken at Grandma's house in Sidney, probably at Christmas and during the early/mid 60s. Late in life, Chris lost a leg due to gangrene and was moved to the Sidney nursing home. He enjoyed being there and made a number of friends. He passed away around 1969."
