Niels Gregersen Pedersen: Husband of Johanne Birgitte Nielsdatter

 Death, Sankt Mortens parish register, page 114.  I noticed in the death record in the Vester Velling parish register that Niels Gregersen Pedersen had died in Morten's parish.  I found that record in Sankt Mortens parish register in Randers county.  This death record states that entry #144 is Niels's death record on August 17, 1912 at Sct. Josephs Hospital and that he was buried in the Vester Velling parish church on August 21, 1912.  He was a mason at Lille Torup.  He was the son of "Tomrer" Peter Nielsen and wife Kirsten Marie.  He was married to Birgitte and the last common residence was Lille Torup.  He was 47 years old.

Picture, St. Josephs hospital, circa 1910.  I found this postcard on a website of the hospital in Randers county where Niels died.  It was founded by Catholic nuns in 1907 and I believe continues to be a hospital to this day.  I do not know his cause of death.
