PIONEER MERCHANT OF BUTTE IS DEAD IN EUROPEAN CITY --

A cablegram was received yesterday from Kolding, Denmark, by Fred A. 
Henningsen, Jr. of this ciy, announcing the death of his father, Frederick 
Asmus Henningsen Sr. Mr. Henningsen had but recently left Butte to visit two of 
his daughters in Denmark. He visited several other children en route and 
arrived in Denmark on Jan. 15. Mr. Henningsen was the pioneer member of the 
Henningsen family in this country. He was the father of 12 children and had 40 
grandchildren. He is survived by four sons and eight daughters as follows: 
Anker P. Henningsen, Walter F. Henningsen, Mrs. E. E. Horgan, Mrs. F. M. 
Cronkhite of Portland, Ore.; Mrs. R. A. McArthur, Mrs. Kenneth Chrisite, Mrs. 
Paul Wolcott and Fred A. Henningsen Jr. of Butte, Mrs. Peter Johnsen of 
Superior, Neb.; Victor Henningsen of New York, Mrs. Christian Friis and Mrs. 
Aage F. Johansen of Kolding, Denmark.

Mr. Henningsen was visiting with the two latter daughters at the time of his 
death. He left Butte on Dec. 21 visiting his daughter in Superior, and his son 
Victor in New York en route. He sailed from that city on Jan. 3 aboard the 
Danish liner Frederick VIII.

He had been in failing health since the loss of his beloved wife, Agnes 
Frederick Henningsen, who passed away in Portland, Sept. 17, 1918, after a 
brief illness.

Mr. Henningsen was born in Satrup, Germany, May 8, 1848. Mr. and Mrs. 
Henningsen left Denmark with a family of 10 children in 1888, coming to Denver, 
Col., where he engaged in the produce business. Later he removed to Superior, 
Neb., where he established the Henningsen Produce company. In 1889 he 
established the Henningsen Produce company in Butte. He had been engaged in the 
produce business in Denmark from his youth until he came to this country.

Mr. Henningsen had a large circle of friends amoung pioneer merchants and 
business men of Butte. His was one of the largest business concerns in this 
city in the early days of the mining industry here. His death will be deeply 
regretted by very many old timers, who helped him to establish the business 
community of this city.

The funeral arrangements have not yet been completed.
