Much more detail for families below will be added as time permits.

In 1903 this family came to the United States from Denmark. They settled first near Stuart, Iowa, where the children attended school. Later, part of the family moved further west where they homesteaded on a farm near Harlem, Montana. During their time in Montana, the very musical family played for many square dances. Within a few years they returned to Iowa.

She was baptized in the Danish Lutheran Church in the town where she was born. In 1904 she came to the United States with her family and settled first in Stuart, Iowa where she attended school. Later the family moved out west where they homesteaded on a farm near Harlem, Montana. During their time in Montana Louise joined the rest of her very musical family to play for many square dances. After three years they returned to Iowa and resided on a farm south of Coon Rapids. On June 4, 1919 she was united in marriage with Rasmus Nielsen. After their marriage they lived south of Coon Rapids where they had a dairy farm and sold milk in town.

Louise liked gardening and flowers and loved to sing and play the piano.
