H.H. NICKELSEN, PIONEER, PASSES The many friends of the family were grieved to learn on Saturday morning of the death of Mrs. M.H. Nickelsen, which took place after several weeks of illness at the home on 12th St., at the age of 71 years. Mrs. Nickelsen was born Inge Rorden, on May 16, 1850 on Fohr Island, Schleswig-Holstein. Here she spent the years until she was married to M.H. Nickelsen on October 3, 1867. Shortly after their marriage, M.H. Nickelsen, emigrated to the United States and settled in California, where he was joined by Mrs. Nickelsen and her two sons. After her arrival, the family took up residence at The Dalles, and 40 forty years ago came to Hood River, where they had since resided. The funeral service was held on Monday afternoon at the Asbury M.E. church, at which Rev. G. Sykes and Rev. W.P. Kirk officiated, the remains being afterwards laid to rest in the K.P. cemetery. As a remark of respect to the deceased lady and the family, a very large number of residents were at the church. In the early days of Hood River, Mrs. Nickelsen made for herself a splendid reputation by ministering to the sick and needy, especially in the Belmont district, and the good deeds she performed have remained in the memory of many. On one occasion she waded through nearly four feet of snow to bring a babe into the world at midnight, and in many other ways she endeared herself to the community in which she lived. Mrs. Nickelsen is survived by the following sons and daughters: Senator J.R. Nickelsen, C.D. Nickelsen and Mrs. T.G. Frohn, all of Hood River; Mrs. W.T. Bullard, of Ione, and Mrs. Rosa S. Nealiegh, of Oregon City. Seventeen grandchildren and six great grandchildren also survive. ------------------------------------- The Hood River Glacier, Hood River, OR., April 20, 1922, page 2 MRS. M.H. NICKELSEN’S FUNERAL MONDAY Death came to Mrs. M.H. Nickelsen early Saturday morning. Mrs. Nickelsen had been seriously ill with riot trouble for several weeks. A native of Schleswig-Holstein, as is her surviving husband, Mrs. Nickelsen, had she lived, would have been 72 years in May. Mr. and Mrs. Nickelsen lived at The Dalles when they first came to the mid-Columbia. Funeral services were held Monday afternoon at 2 o’clock at the Asbury Methodist church, the pastor, Rev. Gabriel Sykes, and Rev. W.P. Kirk, pastor of the Christian and Missionary Alliance, officiating. Interment followed at the Knights of Pythias cemetery. C.C. Anderson conducted the funeral. Mrs. Nickelsen is survived by the following sons and daughters: Senator J.R. Nickelsen, C.D. Nickelsen and Mrs. T.G. Frohn, of Hood River; Mrs. W.E. Bullard, of Ione, and Mrs. Rosa S. Nealeigh, of Oregon City. Seventeen grandchildren and six great grandchildren survive. Mrs. M.H. Nickelsen, whose maiden name was Inge Rorden, was born May 16, 1850 on the island of Fohr, in the North Sea, where she was married to M.H. Nickelsen October 3, 1867. A few years after their marriage, Mr. Nickelsen came to America and settled in California, and was followed a few years later by Mrs. Nickelsen who made the trip across the Atlantic alone with her two sons, joining her husband in California, and shortly after her arrival in the west, Mr. and Mrs. Nickelsen came to Oregon, residing at The Dalles for a number of years, and about 40 years ago came to Hood River, where they had since resided. In the early days of Hood River, when it was difficult to secure the services of a physician, the deceased was very active in rendering service to all in need in the community where she lived, which is now known as the Belmont district. Her memoranda show where she was called at midnight on a New Years eve to assist a young mother, and to render services in this case it was necessary for her to walk one-half mile in nearly four feet of snow, but she went. One of the dominant ambitions in the life of the deceased was to render service to others, and project the spirit of helpfulness into the lives of the needy. The injunction and assurance that “It is more blessed to give than to receive” found practical exemplification in the life of Mrs. Nickelsen, in her home and community life. The deceased cultivated a passionate love for flowers, children, and her church life. She was a charter member of the first Methodist society organized in Hood River valley; a member of the W.C.T.U.; Woman’s Relief Corps and Degree of Honor Protective Association, woman’s auxiliary of the order of the United Workmen. Mrs. Nickelsen was a true mother, faithful friend and consistent Christian. This was posted for reference only. I am not related to, nor am I researching this family.
