• Notes

  Emil sang and played violin. He sang with the Danish Harmonien Society (with Alfred Hansen, husband of Thora Mohr). Once sang with world famous baritone Reinald Warrenrath, singing “On The Road to Mandalay” by Rudyard Kipling. Emil was once visited by the Danish tenor Lauritz Melchior, who came to his house and presented him with a gold medal, worn on a chain around the neck, for being the oldest living guard to the King of Denmark. According to 1900, 1910 and 1930 censuses, Emil immigrated to the US in 1886. He is listed as an alien in 1910 and naturalized in 1900 and 1930. Lived at Falkonéralle 56 in Copenhagen in 1885. Lived at 4335 Potomac Avenue, Chicago in 1910. Lived with his son Henry’s family in 1930. Lived at the Danish Old People’s Home in Norwood Park at the time of his death.
