He was born in Denmark, February 2, 1817, and had almost reached the extreme limit of man's life. Mr. Sorensen was highly esteemed by those who knew him. For a long time deceased had not been feeling well, but he would not rest, being of an energetic disposition. A short time before his death he took to his bed. He was a member of the Lutheran church, and until recently an attendant upon the services of the Manchester Presbyterian church. The remains were laid away in Evergreen cemetery Monday afternoon. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. Arthur Hicks, pastor of the Presbyterian church. A large number of sympathizing friends testified, by their presence and by beautiful floral offerings, to the esteem in which the deceased was held. "Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord."
