  • Name Mette Cathrine Nielsen
    Citation: 4
  • Note
    Mette was born a few months before her parent's wedding--a dreadful story at that time most likely. She was in love with a young farmer's son, but her brother Rasmus told her not to marry him because he liked to drink. Every time he visited her, Rasmus would get him so drunk that Mette finally believed Rasmus.

    Mette was a housekeeper for an old blacksmith whose wife had passed away. He had a 10-year-old son. But Mette didn't like this son. She married the blacksmith after several years in his house. They were frugal people. He had a very find garden and many bees and sold lots of honey. She was a clever weaver. The boy was sent to a sister of Kristian and passed away a few years later. They had no children together. They left a big property and it was testated for Rasmus. It was under the very worst crisis for the farmers all over the world. Rasmus used this money to help out his son who had a windmill and a fertilizer business because his farmer customers could not pay their bills.
