Marie was the daughter of Hans L. and Sena Jepsen Hansen of Boyer road, Fairplains township.    She married Albert W. Christiansen in 1918 and for most of their married lives lived near the corner of Miller and Boyer roads in Fairplains township.
   Through the years Marie clipped items of family and local interest and pasted them into scrapbooks.    In 1943 their home burned and they lost everything.    She started clipping right after the fire as her first book had an article telling of their loss.    Marie continued her work for the next 25 years, until about two weeks before her death in 1968.
   I'm sure she would be happy to know we have found a way for others to enjoy her work!
