Valdemar PEDERSEN and Ella Marie HANSEN
married April 29, 1910 in Borre, Mønbo, Praesto, Denmark
This couple had an interesting life. They met at a Danish
Folkskole (I still don't know exactly where). They married in Ella Marie's parish and moved to Valdemar's hometown of Sorterup. They ran the family farm -Stylesgaard. After many adventures, including breeding black horses and a barn fire, the family were forced to sell the farm. They emigrated to Saskatchewan in the 1920s. They worked as tenant farmers for a time, and the crop failed so they had to start again. Valdemar ultimately left the family and moved to British Columbia, where he remarried (?) and had another daughter. Ella Marie remarried Mr. (?) Andersen. She worked as a seamstress for many years. Valdemar died in Burnaby in 1968. Ella Marie died in 1975 and is buried in Oshawa, Ontario.
