  Nekrolog	1927
  "Jorgen Christensen Dam was born at Galten, Denmark, on the 27th day of february, 1859 and passed away in Gordon, Nebr., Jan 21st 1927, heart failure being the cause of death. He left Denmark in 1884, locating in this vicinity in 1885, and by hard work and frugal habits, he has acquired a competency. On December 21, 1901, he was unified in marriage to Inger Marie Jorgensen and to this union were born six children, one passing away in infancy. Surviving Mr. Dam are his widow and the children, Anna, Henry, Emma, Eleanor and Raymond. Early in life, Mr.Dam was confirmed in the Lutheran Church and was reared and trained in that faith. Mr. Dam was one of those pioneers whose life work is tied up with the building of this great country. He toiled among the hardships of the pioneers and always had great faith in the future of the locality. He has left behind him a monument to his energy and has left a vacant spot in the hearts of his many friends that will be hard to fill. The funeral services were held from the home on Sunday, reverend Sm..by officiating and the body laid in its final resting place in the Gordon Cemetery" (Gengivet i findagrave.com).
