Death, Hvorslev parish register, page 188. Anton Jensen dies November 20, 1936. I believe the record states he died in Sondre parish, Viborg county and buried in Hvorslev on November 25. I have looked at all three parishes with Sonder in the title and do not find his death recorded in them. He was 67 years old. His wife is still living at the time of his death and I do not find her death recorded in the Hvorslev parish registers which end in 1943.
