Johanne Christina Pedersen (daughter of Peder Sorensen and Anne Marie Christiansdatter) was born 02 Sep 1850 in Vejby, Denmark, and died 04 Jul 1903 in Council Bluffs, Iowa. She married Johan Christian Clementsen on 30 Dec 1870 in Horne, Denmark, son of Clement Johansen and Maren Christensdatter.

 Includes NotesNotes for Johanne Christina Pedersen:
Johanne was baptized on 17 Nov 1850 at the church in Vejby, Denmark.

Johanne Christine (Pedersen) Clementsen was born in the town of Vejby, Denmark on September 2, 1850 and was confirmed in 1864 at the Vejby Parish Church. At the age of 14 she left the town of Vejby for the town of Borglum, and at the age of 19 she left Borglum for the town of Horne. One can only assume the reason for leaving her home at such a young age was to find work elsewhere and relieve the financial burden on the parents. This information was taken from the church records of Vejby and Borglum.
When and where she met Johan can only be presumed to be in Horne. he had left Horne for Astrup in 1866 but returned the following year in 1867.
Five of her seven children were born in Horne. The last two were born in Council Bliffs, Iowa after they had emigrated to the United States which was in 1886. Johanne would have been just shy of her 36 birthday since they emigrated in August of 1886. She and Johan settled in council bluffs, Iowa, at 2230 So 6th St. Her parents and some siblings had immigrated to the same area a few years prior to 1886.
On July 4, 1903 Johanne was killed by a trolley car in front of the family home on So. 6th St. She was 52 years, 10 months, and 2 days. The articles in the Nonpareil paper are not exactly clear as to what happened. Johanne was across the street from her home talking with her oldest daughter, Mary, and her son-in-law, Emil Jorgensen. Her grandson, Leo, who was just a toddler had come out of the house and was heading for the street. The trollies ran in front of the home in two different directions (to & from Lake Manawa). She saw the one coming north and went out to get the little boy. It is assumed she did not see the other trolley heading south to Lake Manawa. She thought she had time as she stopped in the tracks and turned to speak with Mary and emil. She then continued across the street crossing the other set of tracks that ran southbound. The ground was uneven and she apparently fell backwards over the tracks and the southbound trolley ran over her. It appears she never head or saw that trolley. Death was almost instantaneous. The entire family witnessed the accident. A copy of her probate of estate showed that the family received a total of $25 for full settlement concerning the accident which caused her death. The probate took place on July 23, 1903.
