Hi Frances, I am not sure if you are still on this site. I think I might have sent a message to you on another thread as your name seems familiar. My GGG Grandparents are Levi and Calthea Current. Would you be so kind as to email the picture you have of the two of them. I have found some fascinating reading about their lives in Texas. Thank you so very much! My email is audrey.shawn@gmail.com. I would love to chat so we can compare notes as it appears we are related as well.
Have a good one,

Lew Christensen obit 1984

djg769 — 2009-10-12 04:19:11Z

1984

Oct. 10: Lew Christensen, master builder of the San Francisco Ballet and America's first male star of classical ballet, died Oct. 9, apparently of a heart attack. He was 75. "He was one of the great pioneers of dance in America, an inspiration to dancers for his style and commitment to the art," said Robert Joffrey, a fellow pioneer in developing ballet in its American form. Mr. Christensen was director of the San Francisco Ballet from 1952 until his death. During his 32-year reign, covering most of the company's history, he was chiefly responsible for making it one of the top companies in the nation.

I understand this is a very old post but we are desperate to find anything.thank you for reading

We are looking for the birth mother of my grandfather,
Nicolas Joseph Christensen.

We are hoping that there is someone out there who can help us locate my grandfathers birth mother, he was born on April 22, 1912 to Ann Christensen at St.Mary’s home for women and infants in Green Bay Wisconsin. His name at birth was Nicolas Joseph Christensen we have no information on Ann Christensen
I.e.; date of birth or date of death or where she lived, only that the birth was at St.Mary’s in Green Bay Wisconsin in 1912.
We do know that Nicolas was sent to or lived (with Ann possibly) at St Joseph’s (some connection to St. Mary’s) home until January 26, 1916 when he was adopted by Charles Benjamin Brown and Josephine (Colleur) Brown.
Charles was a tug boat captain and lived in Michigan. Nicolas’s name was then changed to Raymond Nicholas Brown. The Brown’s also adopted a little girl named Helen we have no birth day for her.
The Browns moved to Marquette Michigan and then on to Dafter Michigan.
My grandfather did receive a birth certificate from Wisconsin but the only names on it are the Browns. Also my grandfather did receive a letter when he was trying to enlist in the service in 1941 stating that he was adopted and born to Ann Christensen in 1912. Sister Gertrude was the writer of the letter confirming his birth mothers name.
We are praying for any information regarding St.Mary’s, St. Joseph’s or Ann Christensen from Green Bay Wisconsin in 1912.

Item about J. L. Christensen, bootmaker in Texas

Historic Hand-Sewn Boots Available for a Museum
By SAM BLACKBURN
A weathered pair of boots, at least 90 years old, believed worn by a member of a luckless band of Fort Concho soldiers who were ambushed by a war party of Comanches, is available for display in a museum, provided the museum is one on a well established basis and the boots will be cared for.

The footgear, according to the present owner, J. L. CHRISTENSEN, was found near “Mushaway Creek” in what is now either Borden or Garza Counties soon after the Fort Concho troopers had met their disaster. The story told is that all of the cavalrymen with one exception died in the ambush. One, identified in legend as Capt. JACK WARE, is said to had escaped. He hid his saddle and blankets in a tree and made his way by foot to Fort Concho.

Apparently, the pair of boots which Christensen has, were removed from the feet of one of WARE’S fellow soldiers. They made of rawhide, cut in the simplest possible form, handsewn with the soles and heels fastened with wooden pegs.

CHRISTENESN said that old time rancher in Borden County gave the boots to the late H. H. HAYNES, who died a few years ago. Haynes was the grandfather of Mrs. CHRISTENSEN. He kept the relics for years but gave them finally to a daughter, Mrs. A. J. CAIN.

Mrs. Cain, in turn, gave them to CHRISTENSEN. Christensen is a boot maker--his family has 100 years of bootmaking back of it--and he has a deep interest in such articles. Further, his late grandfather, E. E. CHRISTENSEN, also a bootmaker, was plying his trade in Fort Concho about the time of the legendary massacre. It is possible the boots were made by him.

Christensen said he thinks the boots are of historic interest--alike for their age and their novel design, as well as for the story of how they happened to be preserved.

He said no one seems to have determined the exact spot where the massacre occurred. The only description is ‘Near Mushaway Creek.” The only name which still remains in the legend is that of ‘Captain JACK WARE.’

The Fort Concho site is at the edge of San Angelo. It was established in 1867 and was known in its day as ‘The Pride of the Army of the West.” It was deactivated in 1889.

Fort Concho troopers were required to do more patrol and scouting work than were soldiers in other West Texas forts. It is probable they scouted over what is now Borden County. That area, prior to 1870, was a rugged unsettled area, which had long been a favorite hunting ground of the Comanches. There is a good possibility any patrol out of Fort Concho might have fallen foul of a Comanche war party in that section.

It is difficult to exactly establish the site of the legendary Indian fight. There is no ‘Mushaway Creek’ on the maps. There is a Mushaway Peak, however. This is a common name for a mesa in appearance to Signal Mountain in this county. It is a more accurate name seem to be Muchakooga but it is often listed as Mushaway. There is a story that Comanches on periodic raids southward into Mexico made use of both Signal Mountain and Mushaway Peak as lookout posts and as sites for signal fires. If there was battle in this area between Indians and a Fort Concho patrol in the early ‘70’s, it could well have occurred near this peak.

‘Peak’ and ‘creek’ sound much alike and the word could have bee misunderstood in the verbal passing along of the story of Christessen’s weather old cavalry boots.

“For their age,” remarked the owner, “they are in exceptionally good shape. A little repair work and a pair of half-soles and they would be ready for another 90 years.”

Axel Marius Christensen born May 4, 1890 in Hylleholt, Fakse, Praesto to Johanne Sofie Hansen, age 41, and Hans Christensen.

1890 Census for Hylleholt lists the family as:
Hans Christensen age 51
Johanne Sofie Hansen 42
Anna Sophie Christensen 9
Carl Vilhelm Christensen 6
Emil Julius Christensen 3
Mariane Julie 2

(I think that the census taker got Carl & Emil's ages wrong as I found the birth record for Carl on Apr 15 1887 and Emil on Aug 26, 1885)
