Other Events and Attributes:

• Cause of Death: Brain infarction due to Berry aneurysm
• Medical Notes: Died of stroke. Autopsy revealed cancer of pancreas (she was unaware). No allergy problems.
• Research Notes: Wendell Mohr gives date of death as April 6, 1953. According to Wendell Mohr, she moved to Chicago at age of 2. However, the 1920 Census and 1930 census list year of immigration as 1888, when she was 4 years old. 1900 census lists year of immigration as 1892. Emma is not listed in her father’s household in the extracted record for the 1885 census. It is possible that there is a problem with the extraction or perhaps she was living with her grandmother Emma at the time. Godmother Helena L. G. Krogh of Borgergade 138. Perhaps this was an aunt.

Emma married Thorwald Lÿkke Mohr on 17 Mar 1904 in Chicago, Cook County, Illinois, USA. Thorwald (son of Heinrich Frederik Ludwig Mohr and Ane Marie Sørensen) was born on 2 Jun 1882 in København, Denmark; was christened on 15 Oct 1882 in St. Matthæus, København, Denmark; died on 23 Jul 1949 in Denver, Colorado, USA; was buried on 26 Jul 1949 in Crown Hill Cemetery, Wheat Ridge, Jefferson County, Colorado, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

According to Clifford Mohr, Thorwald and Emma were “christened in the same church in Copenhagen and only met in Chicago later on.” Based on church records, this seems to be in error, as Thorwald was christened in St. Mattheaus Kirke and Emma was christened in Frederiksberg Kirke.

Clifford Mohr’s birth certificate specifies that he is the second child born to Emma. This indicates that the “other Grace” was actually born before Clifford, not after William as originally assumed.

Family lived with Emma’s father at the time of the 1910 census. Family lived at 150 W. 5th Ave, Denver in 1920 and 790 South Race, Denver in 1930.

Other Events and Attributes:

• Cause of Death: Cholelithiasis (gall stones) - exhaustion

Anders + Birthe Kirstine Jensdatter. Birthe was born about 1798. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Other Events and Attributes:

• Research Notes: Name is given as “Birgitte” in 1850 census. I originally recorded her surname as “Kolberg,” but it is unclear whether this was a surname or her birthplace. Several records, including her marriage record and the birth record for her daughter Laura list is as a birthplace (with the patronymic Jensdatter). On the other hand, she appears in the 1834 census as Birthe Kirstine Kolbert in a list that does not include birthplaces for any other family members. Also, her birthplace is listed as Bornholm in the 1850 census. If Kolberg is her birthplace, it is unclear where this is. There is a Kolberg in Germany (now Kołobrzeg, Poland) right on the Baltic. Bornholm is in the path between Kolberg and Copenhagen. There is also a Koelbjerg on Fyn.
• Census: 1834, København, Denmark

Birthplace unknown. May be Kolberg or Bornholm.
