| 803 | My father, Roy Neilsen travelled to the war scene in1918 at the age of 18. He arrived at the "war" but at about the time of the armastice and consequently saw no real action. As I remember, he told us that he saw only part of Egypt. He was one of many who learned about quarter horses and was very sad when told that for quarantine reasons none of the horses would return to Oz. He remember bits about India where the troops landed for a while on the return journey. I remember the 303 rifle and bayonet because he later trained at a small army base in Burwood Rd. Hawthorn, rising to the rank of corporal. Ronald Roy Neilsen, 29 Dec 2017 | Neilsen, Roy Hans (I187)

| 806 | My Mom (Pickle) remembers her Grandpa Rossen as being the nicest man who ever lived. He was a big guy who gave the best bear hugs and everybody in the Curtis area just loved him. He was a farmer when he first moved to the area and was the janitor at the school when he moved to town. She remembers when he got sick towards the end of his life, everyone in town went to visit him. Before he passed away, all of his children were at his bedside and he called them in for one last bear hug claiming there was room for everyone. When he had them all in his arms he told his wife Anna that he was going home. My Mom was 15 or 16 when he died and she remembers it as if it was yesterday. She also said he had the thickest, whitest hair. All of us Thomsens with thick hair can thank our Great Grandpa Jorgen. Jennifer Snyder, September 2015 | Rossen, Niels Jørgen (I40)

| 810 | Nashua Reporter, Wednesday, January 25, 1950] CARL HANSON JR. KILLED SUNDAY Carl Hanson Jr., 17 year old Nashua High School senior, was instantly killed about 4 p.m. Sunday in a hunting accident on the Ed Pillasch farm, one and one half miles north of Charles City. He was the only child of Mr. and Mrs. Carl Hanson Sr. Elvin Kollman, 20, of Nashua was wounded slightly in the left shoulder by one pellet of No. 2 shot from a 12-gauge shotgun shell. He was released Monday from Cedar Valley hospital in Charles City. With Hanson and Kollman were four sons of Mr. and Mrs. Alvin Dietz, Robert, 18; Kenneth, 21; Wendell, 17, and Wayne 14. The youths were returning to their car after a fox hunt, when a double-barreled hammerless 12-gauge shotgun, carried by one of the youths, was discharged, the blast striking Hanson and Kollman. Carl Hauser, Floyd county coroner, ruled the death accidental and reported that no inquest was necessary. Junior was active in athletics and music activities at Nashua High School. He earned letters in baseball, football and basketball and sang in the mixed chorus and boys' glee club. He played in the basketball game Friday night when the Bulldogs defeated Manly. His death was a severe shock to the whole community as he had earned the admiration and respect of his schoolmates and adults alike. Sports fans, who have followed the success of the Bulldogs' teams, were shocked when news of Junior's death was received. Funeral services for Carl Hanson Jr. were held today (Wednesday) at 2 p.m. at the Methodist church. The Rev. F. L. Hanscorn of the Little Brown Church officiated and was assisted by Rev. E. C. Allen of the Methodist church. The high school girls' small group, under the direction of Miss Louise Heisey, music instructor, sang. The members of the group were Virginia James, Darlene Wagner, Donna Davidson, Sylvia Estal; Jeannette Stocks, Betty Crooks, Verna Jakel and Jo Ann Wait. They were accompanied by Max Wagner. The Misses Bertha Coffman, Iverne Wick, Alice Hammond and Shirley Muench were in charge of the flowers. Pallbearers were six members of the high school basketball squad. They were Donald Kehe, Charles Jensen, Marvin Juel, Russell Nordman and Ed and Curtis Bigelow. Burial was in Greenwood cemetery. ----------------------- CARL HANSON JR.

| 814 | Nebraska: the Land and the People: Volume 2 Louis H. Neble was born in Omaha, on the 16th of January, 1890, and is a son of Hans P. Neble, who has long been one of the sterling and honored citizens of Omaha, with the civic and business affairs of which city he and two of his brothers have been prominently identified. Hans P. Neble was born and reared in Denmark, whence he came to the United States and established his residence in Omaha in 1886, he having here continued his home during the long intervening years. He became associated with his brother Sophus in the purchase of the plant and business of the Danish Pioneer, which was here founded in 1872, by Mark Hansen, who was one of the honored Danish pioneers of Nebraska. The Neble brothers thus secured control of the Danish Pioneer in the year 1877, and they have continued to be associated in the ownership and publishing of this excellent weekly paper to the present time, though by reason of impaired health Hans P. Neble has recently withdrawn from the active service that had long been his portion and assigned the management of the business to Louis H. Neble, the immediate subject of this review. A third brother, John L., likewise became connected with the Danish Pioneer, with which he continued his alliance until his death, March 24, 1926, he having served for several years as a member of the Omaha Park Commission. Louis H. Neble is a loyal and appreciative citizen of Omaha, where he has continuously maintained his home from the time of his birth to the present and where he is effectively upholding the civic and business prestige of the family name. He was graduated from the Central High School as a member of the class of 1907, and had been a prominent and popular figure in the athletics of the school, especially as a member of its baseball team. After completing his high school course Mr. Neble served a four years' apprenticeship to the jeweler's trade, but this work so affected his vision that he had to abandon the trade. He thus, in 1911, became actively associated with the Danish Pioneer, where he gained practical experience in virtually all departments and details of the business and eventually won advancement to his present offices of vice president, manager and treasurer of the Sophus F. Neble Publishing Company. Mr. Neble was president of the Danish Brotherhood Bowling League in his native city, and has the further distinction of being president of the Nebraska State Bowling League, also president of the Omaha City Bowling Association, preferments that stand in evidence of his skill in the manipulations of the balls and pins and also indicate his personal popularity in bowling circles. In 1925 Mr. Neble made the highest score in the Danish Bowling League, his best score having been 297 and he having made eleven consecutive strikes on the occasion of his gaining the highest score of the local league. He is an active member of the Omaha Chamber of Commerce, the Ak-Sar-Ben, the Danish Brotherhood, the Omaha Danish Association, and the Council Bluffs Country Club, at the links of which he finds seasonable indulgence in golf. He is a democrat in his political proclivities, and he and his wife are communicants of the Danish Lutheran Church. October 29, 1915, marked the marriage of Mr. Neble and Miss Helen Rossen, who was born and reared in Omaha and whose parents were born in Denmark. Mr. and Mrs. Neble have no children. Mr. Neble was formerly drum-major of the crack band of the Fourth Infantry Regiment of the Nebraska National Guard, and for fifteen years he was the successful and popular leader of the Neble Concert Orchestra. He is a talented musician, and is able to play effectively a large number of varied musical instruments. He has thus been a prominent figure in musical circles in his native city, and takes deep interest in all that tends to advance the “divine art” in his home community. | Rossen, Helen A (I1157)

| 822 | OBITUARY Fritz Nachant; self-made man was pilot, hunter and entrepreneur By Blanca Gonzalez UNION-TRIBUNE STAFF WRITER October 17, 2008 Fritz Nachant was about 8 years old when he traded in his violin for a hunting rifle. His mother had bought the instrument for him a year earlier, and although he didn't like it, he practiced and played it for her. But his love of the outdoors prompted him to swap his violin for a rifle at a pawnshop. Over the years he became an avid hunter, taking trips to Alaska, Siberia, Panama and Africa and counting Chuck Yeager and Gen. Jimmy Doolittle among his hunting buddies. He helped start the Safari Club in Los Angeles in 1971. The L.A.-based group eventually became Safari Club International, a worldwide group that promotes hunters' rights and wildlife conservation. A self-made man who didn't graduate high school, Mr. Nachant ran a successful contracting business for more than 30 years. He credited the youth organization DeMolay for putting him on the track to success. Mr. Nachant died of heart failure Oct. 2 at San Diego Hospice. He was 91. His daughter, Susan Lindsay, said her father was an entrepreneur from an early age, delivering newspapers on his bicycle when he was 6. By the time he was 14, he was selling newspapers to the Navy ships in the San Diego harbor, rowing his boat from one ship to the next. He was a teenager when his mother encouraged him to join DeMolay. “He said he was a smart-alecky kid making money selling newspapers so he decided to look into it,” Lindsay said. “He felt he didn't have direction, but he knew he wanted to do something with his life. He said the values he learned (from DeMolay) helped form his success.” As an adult, he became a Mason and a Shriner and enjoyed marching in parades and raising money for the Shriners Hospitals for Children. In the mid-1940s, he began working in construction. He eventually started his own business after earning his general contractor's license and built many service stations and auto repair shops in the region, Lindsay said. Early in his career, Mr. Nachant was advised by a friend to take up golf if he wanted to move ahead in business so he took his first golf lesson. After the lesson he went to nearby Gillespie Field to visit a friend who worked at the airport. The friend told him he should learn to fly instead of learning golf and took him for a plane ride. “He started flying lessons and never picked up the golf clubs again,” his daughter said. Mr. Nachant earned his pilot's license in the late 1950s and became an active member of the San Diego Sheriff's Search and Rescue Aero Squadron, volunteering to fly his aircraft to search for lost hikers and downed planes. He stopped flying in the late 1970s but he made one last flight as a co-pilot when he flew to the North Pole at age 80. Fritz August Nachant was born June 3, 1917, in San Diego to August and Elsie Nachant. He lived in the Los Angeles area for a time but spent most of his life in San Diego. He worked for Consolidated Aircraft and became a foreman of the B-24 outer wing department before going into construction. He married the former Elise “Dede” Quitsow of San Diego in 1940. The couple had three children. She died in 1974. Mr. Nachant married Anna DeSimone in 1980. He was a longtime supporter of the Salvation Army and the conservation group Ducks Unlimited. Mr. Nachant is survived by his wife, Anna of San Diego, his children, Susan Lindsay of La Mesa, Sally Reynolds of La Mesa and Paul Nachant of San Diego; stepchildren, Claudia DeSimone of San Diego, Adrianna Issakov of La Jolla and Vanda Scates of Santee; eight grandchildren; five step-grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren. A celebration of life is scheduled for 11 a.m. today at the Musicians Hall, 1717 Morena Blvd., San Diego. The family suggests donations to San Diego Hospice, 4311 Third Ave., San Diego, CA, 92103. | Nachant, Fritz August (I4194)

| 845 | Onkel August Bjarne Lindberg Sørensen fortæller Han blev født den 1. april 1883 og fik navnet Peter August Lindberg, Sdr. Farup Vej 36, men blev vist aldrig kaldt andet end August. Hans mor og far var Mariane Lindberg, født Nielsen og Andreas Oksen Lindberg i Sdr. Farup. August har uden tvivl været en kvik knægt, for han blev sendt til Ribe på Katedralskolen, eller som den hed i folkemunde Latinskolen. Om det har været nogle ambitioner hos hans forældre om, at han skulle drive det til et eller andet, eller om det var fordi jo kun den ældste dreng kunne overtage gården. Omkring år 1900 eller måske endda nøjagtig i år 1900 emigrerede han til England. Det lyder vel ikke så voldsomt i vore dage, men den gang var det langt, og han kunne ikke sådan lige smutte hjem, så det var meget få fysiske kontakter der var, men han skrev jævnligt hjem til sine forældre, ligesom de naturligvis skrev til ham. På et eller andet tidspunkt er han kommet til Liverpool, hvor han blev gift med Lucy. De fik to drenge, Eric og George, som er født i 1912 og 1914, og de er dermed jævnaldrende med min mor og moster, altså deres to kusiner i Danmark. Men så i 1950 eller 1951 kom onkel August og hans søn Eric på besøg en sommer. August, som på det tidspunkt har været knap 60 år, talte til at begynde med et mærkeligt dansk, der dog hurtigt blev bedre, og Eric talte kun engelsk, hvilket ingen i vores familie kunne. Vi havde heldigvis en ung pige, som kunne en smule, og vi havde også besøg af min kusine fra København, som også kunne hjælpe med oversætteriet. August var inkarneret englænder af udseende. Han var ikke særlig høj, men meget rank og bredskuldret. Han gik aldrig uden for en dør uden hat, handsker og paraply. Hatten var speciel og mindede lidt om den type, som Clark Gable bærer i ’Borte med blæsten’, og dertil havde han hentehår, som blev holdt på plads af noget hårcreme. Men det mest specielle ved ham var hans overskæg. Det var pomadiseret og rullet i to spidser, som stod vandret ud til begge sider. Min søsters veninde spurgte en gang om, hvorfor han altid gik med en strikkepind i munden. Men elegant var han, når han spankulerede ned til rutebilen for at køre ind til Ribe. Knap så elegant var han, når han så kom hjem igen, for dels kendte han stadigvæk nogle stykker i Ribe, som han besøgte og blev beværtet af, og dels kunne han altid finde nogen, som han kunne drikke et par øl med. Onkel August fortalte mig en gang, at han havde lavet en opfindelse med at udvinde energi af tidevandet. Om den var blevet patenteret ligger lidt i det uvisse. Men ideen og opfindelsen havde han aldrig fået noget for, da den engelske stat og den engelske kulindustri havde syltet sagen. Han følte sig meget snydt for mange penge, da han var sikker på, at han ville have været millionær, hvis opfindelsen var blevet udnyttet. Jeg har skrevet denne beretning, fordi jeg kom til at fortælle noget af historien til min svigerinde, som sagde, at den måtte jeg endelig skrive ned, for der var nok ikke andre, der kunne fortælle den.
