- They [William Christen Christensen and Christiane Berrig Christensen and son William and daughter Laura] were still living in St. Paul in 1896 when their next two children [twin sons] were born. They had moved, however, to 934 Sims St. The two male twins were named Oscar Frederik Christensen and Edward Berrig Christensen. They, too, must have been sickly children, as they were baptized, through Immanuel Church in Minneapolis, on the day of their birth. It is noted in the church record that the parents are not members of the church. Frederik Christensen was one of their godparents. Edward was, however, to live only five months. He died in St. Paul on July 12, 1896 of Cholera. He is buried in Forest (Forestlawn) Cemetery.
