655	Helen Gates in "The Day Family" published in the Plymouth Historical Society newsletter writes: "Nathaniel Day acted as Postmast of Plymouth Post Office, which was moved to medicine lake (sic) to his home in 1865. He died in the winter of 1867, leaving the care of his wife to the youngest son, Joseph, who was 17 years of age at that time." It was clear that he had considerable difficulty supporting his family prior to this time. Letters written by his son Amos, found in the mother's pension application after Amos' death, show that Amos routinely sent money to his family back home in Maine.	DAY, Nathaniel (I619)

670	Hope he comes to Manson [Manson Democrat] Mrs. Earnest Simpson was taken to the Methodist hospital in Des Moines, the other day, where she will be operated on for an internal tumor. Her condition is very serious. She has been suffering with her trouble for some time and the operation is necessary to save her life. Her case is a sad one. Deserted several years ago by the man she married and who is the father of her five children, she has struggled against all odds and supported her little ones as best she could, while the man in the case has been bumming around the country, nobody knows where. Charitable people have divided the children among themselves and will give them good homes while the poor mother battles for what little life is left in her. It is quite probable that if Simpson should ever show his face in Manson again he would get it badly broken or terribly twisted before he got two blocks from the railroad station.

675	Humphrey Bradstreet, sometimes also seen as Broadstreet, in 1634 sailed on the ship Elizabeth from Ipswich, Essex, England to the Massachusetts Bay. Listed with him were his wife Briget (Elizabeth Harris), and children Hannah, John, Martha and Mary. Certain genealogies states Humphrey and Briget were married in 1622 in Capel Saint Mary, Suffolk Co, England. Others state Humphrey was born in Ipswich, had family in Bentley, Essex Co, and worked in Capel St. Mary, Suffolk. The Topographical Disctionary of 2885 English Emigrants to new England, states Humphrey wsa from Creeting All Saints. Further UK research will be understaken to further develop the Bradstreet family history. While may not know much of Humphrey's past prior to 1636, much is known of his life after his arrival in New England. Perhaps the best summary is found in The Great Migration, A-B: * Humphrey became a Freeman on May 6, 1635, was thereafter referred to as Mister (vs. Goodman). * Was appointed theh deputy for Ipswich to Massachusetts Bay General Court on September 2, 1635. * Included on committee to consider Mr. Endicott's defacing of the colors, May 6, 1635. * Served on Essex County jury on December 28, 1641 and September 26, 1648 Humphrey, like many of his contemporaries, used the court to address personal squabbles and disagreements. He was commonly at odds with John Cross, whom he likely knew prior to his immigration, as Mr. Cross and his wife Anne were also passengers on the Elizabeth. "Humphrey sued John Cross at court 27 March, 1649, but the case was nonsuited...John Cross returned the favor and sued Humphrey Broadstreet, Richard Jacob and John Gage for trespass on 25 September 1649...Cross also sued John Bradstreet that day. The family was again entangled with Cross in November 1649 when Cross was fined for slanderous speeches against Mr. Rogers of Rowley, and John Bradstreet was fined, evidently for the same thing, and Humphrey served as his surety. "A later court case, 26 December 1649, showed that the trespass in question dealt with a gray colt. Bradstreet claimed that the colt was not his, 'he never had a colt in his life'. At September Term 1650, Humphrey Bradstreet and John Bradstreet had their bond of good behavior discharged. "On 29 March 1653, Humphrey took Stephen Kent to court 'for taking away, using and abusing and not returning a boar, and for suspicion of taking away other swine.' The case was withdrawn." In addition to Humphrey's law suits, we are also privileged with details from his will, which may be found in the Essex county, Massachusetts Probate Record, 1635-1681 (Ancestry.com). The family farm, a 130-acre parcel granted to Humphrey by King Charles I in 1635, was left to his son Moses. This farm remained in the family, passed down from generation to generation, until it was sold in 2007 to the Town of Rowley for 2.75 million dollars. Many pictures were found online of this farm, and interestingly, the farm was the subject of interest throughout the country, with notations in such papers as the El Paso Herald-Post, which reported on June 27, 1934, "John D. Bradstreet still lives in the house built in 1634 by Humphrey Bradstreet." On January 22, 1937, the New York Herald Tribune published the following: Rowley, Mass, Jan 21 - Chuckling philosophically at the evil days on which he has fallen, John Dowling Bradstreet this morning helped kill the last pig on his farm, which has been ___ by nine generations of the same family ever since 1635, when Humphrey Bradstreet received it as a grant. As the sow expired and was hung up in the barn to be dressed, it left three cats and twenty barred Plymouth Rocks as the only remaining livestock on the farm, which Mark Sullivan, after some research, now thinks must be "the authentic oldest American farm in continuous ownership of the same family." Cobwebs stretched between the stanchions in the barn, built before 1776, for when milk dropped to three cents a quart a few years ago Mr. Bradstreet sold his cows. Dust had gathered in the grooves worn in the stable floor by many teams of Bradstreet horses. Mr. Bradstreet's only crop now is hay, which he sells to neighbors who in turn, rent horses to him when mowing time comes around. The Florence Morning News, Florence, S.C., published on December 16, 1951, a comic from Ripley's Believe It Or Not, which stated: The Bradstreet Farm Rowley, Mass Established in 1635 by Humphrey Bradstreet and owned by The Same Family CONTINUOUSLY for 316 Years!

685	In the History of Penobscot County Maine, page 286, the following is noted of James L. Scott: "James Scott was an early settler in Chester, and his sons, William, Moses, and Luther, still reside in Chester, and also several of their descendants. Most early went to Woodville. William still resides at the old place. Moses and Luther are on the Babcock and other of the oldest farms in Chester. Luther removed to Kingman. Most of them have large families, and nearly all have the Scott characteristics."	SCOTT, James L (I2368)
686	In the name of God – Amen – I, Joseph Rogers, of Robberson Township in Greene County State of Missouri being mindful of the mortality of my body, do make and publish this my last will and testament, in manner and form following, that is to say; First. I give devise and bequeath my beloved wife Nancy Rogers all my lands, that is the lands and plantation on and near which we now live, containing about two hundred acres, also the North East quarter of Section number [TORN OUT] four in Township Thirty one of Range Twenty one containing one hundred [TORN OUT] acres worth all the improvements that is to say all the buildings and farm attached to or about it during her natural life also all my personal property whatsoever and wheresoever of what nature and quality soever the same may be (after the payment of my debts and funeral expenses) I do give and bequeath to my aforesaid wife Nancy Rogers during her natural life and that at the death of my said wife all my lands as above described and so much of the personal property as may then remain unexpended to be equally divided or sold and the money equally divided between or amongst my sons James M.

687	In the Orphan's Court records for Henry Uphouse is a listing of his children, including a child named "Frederick." Henry died in 1857, and by 1860 Henry's wife had already remarried to William Pullen. Only Frederick's younger sister was residing with her mother; the rest of the children were with various friends and family. Frederick was a stone mason.	UPHOUSE, Frederick (I1229)

689	Information on the family of Capt. Moses Bradstreet and his wife, Elizabeth Harris was taken from the Essex Antiquarian, Vol 11, Massachusetts and Maine Families in the Ancestry of Walter Goodwin Davis, Vol. 2, and Vital Records of Rowley, MA to the end of 1849. From Massachusetts and Maine Families, we learn that Elizabeth (Harris) Bradstreet died about 1682. However, the Essex Antiquarian states the couple had a son, Johnathan, about 1690, the same year that Moses died. We do know that Moses was remarried to his second wife, widow Sarah (Platts) Prime by the time their son Samuel was born 4 May 1687(Vital Records of Rowley, MA). (Sarah's first husband, Samuel Prime, died 18 Mar, 1684, so her marriage to Moses would have been sometime in 1684 to 1686.) Thus, Jonathan was actually the son of Moses and Sarah. In the History of Rowley, Anciently including Bradford, Boxford, and Georgetown from the Year 1639 to the Present Time (1840), Thomas Gage gives provides a glimpse of Capt. Moses Bradstreet's military career. On page 221 he quotes a letter dated June 28, 1689, in which the company requested of the Governor Moses' appointment to Captain: "The foot company being called together by order, the militia in the said town being desired to bring in their votes for a nomination of a meet person for a Captain, to supply the place of Captain Johnson, de- ceased, the said Company have unanimously chosen Cor- poral Moses Bradstreet, to be their Captain, if the Hon- ored Counsell please to establish him in said office, a man whom we judge in good measure qualified and fitted for such place; and the said company being so fully sat- isfied with the said nomination, wee think wee need not say further in way of commendation…" The following month, Gage notes Moses' role in the Indian hostilities of 1689: "July 22. Captain Moses Bradstreet, and Lieutenant John Trumble, petitioned the Governor and Council for leave to withdraw some of the Rowley men from the guard at Haverhill, one in a week, or two in a fortnight, supplying their places with other men. This they ask for on account of the busy season of the year. They also petitioned to have the Rowley men, who went out with Major Appleton (of Ipswich), and who are now stationed in the several garrisons at Cocheco, (Dover,) and other places in that vicinity, sent home. They represent Rowley as being more hardly dealt with than Newbury or Ipswich, as their men have all been permitted to return home before haying." Moses died the following summer on 17 August, 1690. He is buried in the Old Burying Ground, his gravestone the oldest in the cemetery. It reads: HEAR LYS WHAT WAS MORTAL OF Ye WORTHY CAP MOSES BRADSTREET DESEASED AUGUST Ye 17th 1690 & IN Ye 47th YEAR OF HIS AGE FRIENDS & RELATIONS YOU MIGHT BEHOLD A LAMB OF GOD FLtt FOR Ye FOLD An extract of Moses' will is found in the Historical Collections of the Essex Institute, Vol. 5, and reads: "Will of Moses Bradstreet, dated 16th of August 1690, mentions his wife's children by her former husband; son, John Bradstreet, to him one half of the farm 'yt was my Father Broadstreets,' sons, Humphrey, Nathaniel, Moses and Jonathan. Daughters, Bridget and Hannah. Appoints John and Moses exrs. Witnesses, Edward Payson, Nicholas Wallis and Nehemiah Jewett, probate Sept. 30, 1690. Inventory of above estate, taken 26th of Sept., 1690, by Samuel Platts and Nehemiah Jewett, amounting to £1257 2s., debts against the estate £31 12 s. 5d. Returned Sept. 30, 1690." It would appear that daughter Elizabeth and son Aaron had also predeceased him by the time of his death in 1690. One wonders why the last Samuel, born in 1687, was also missing from the will.

695	Ipswich in the Massachusetts Bay Colony, p. 366-367: The spot now occupied by the Payne School house is remembered by our old citizens as a knoll or small hill, on which a small house stood, near the front fence of the school yard. This was also part of the Common land and was granted to Aaron Day. John and Lucy Lefavour of Marblehead, heirs of Day presumably, sold William Lakeman, Jr., "a certain piece of land granted to Aaron Day, cabinet-maker, by the commoners, with a small dwelling, being at the southwest corner of the Town's land of Little Hill, so called, thence running southwest to Scott's Lane, to the road leading to Linebrook Parish, thence about 7 rods northwest on the road leading to Linebrook, then northeast on the back lane to the Town land first mentioned," Jan. 1796 (160: 159). It was Gander Hill, in later years, and the reason of this name may be found in the title "Goose Pasture," of a piece of pastureland on the other side of Boxford road, in the inventory of John Wood 's estate. The committee of the proprietors of the "Turkey Hill Eight and ye Eight next Rowley," sold Wood for £11, a three quarter acre lot, which may be included in the field used as a ballground, now owned by Mr. Thomas H. Lord, "the Highway to be left full 2 rods and a half wide from y"" proprietor's fence as it now stands," May 21, 1736 (75: 208). The school house stood near the present Hose House sixty years ago, and was moved to the present spot and enlarged after the Hill had been levelled.	DAY, Aaron (I125)

700	James W. Christopherson, 83, of West Hartford, beloved husband to Sharon M. (Sackrison) Christopherson, is now standing before the throne of God, adding his beautiful tenor voice to the voices of the saints and the angels in the heavenly choir, praising his Lord and Savior. He passed away on Wednesday, November 18, 2020. James was born in Minneapolis, MN on September 3, 1937, son to the late Wesley A. and Myrna P. (Smallen) Christopherson. Jim was employed by Hamilton Standard immediately after graduating from the University of Minnesota, first as a mechanical engineer and then as senior system analyst, until the time of his retirement. In his free time, Jim loved the outdoors, especially his frequent camping trips to Maine with his family. He also enjoyed traveling and always referred back to his genealogy discoveries and findings in Norway. The information he found out about his past and family lead him to many interactions with distant relatives. Jim was an outstanding husband, father and grandfather, always providing for them and encouraging them to the best of his abilities. Jim also had a beautiful tenor voice, and at one time sang in the Hartford Opera Company chorus. More recently he enjoyed singing with the Around Town Singers & Orchestra in Suffield. He also was a member of the Windsor Locks Congregational Church and sung in their choir for many years. In addition to his wife, Jim is survived by three children, Elizabeth Huber and her husband Tom of Monmouth, ME, John Christopherson and his wife Elyse of Windsor and Dianna Aprea and her husband Mark of Newington; a daughter-in-law Maxine Christopherson of Windsor; 13 grandchildren; 10 great-grandchildren; two brothers, Joel and Jeffrey Christopherson, both of Minnesota, and a sister Roberta Taylor of Michigan. Jim was predeceased by both parents; his son, Robert Christopherson and two brothers, John and Jerald Christopherson. All funeral services for James will be private. Burial will be held in Grove Cemetery, Windsor Locks. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to Operation Smile, 3641 Faculty Boulevard, Virginia Beach, VA 23453 or to Doctors Without Borders USA, P.O. Box 5030, Hagerstown, MD 21741-5030.

Helen Gates in "The Day Family" published in the Plymouth Historical Society newsletter writes: "Nathaniel Day acted as Postmast of Plymouth Post Office, which was moved to medicine lake (sic) to his home in 1865. He died in the winter of 1867, leaving the care of his wife to the youngest son, Joseph, who was 17 years of age at that time."

It was clear that he had considerable difficulty supporting his family prior to this time. Letters written by his son Amos, found in the mother's pension application after Amos' death, show that Amos routinely sent money to his family back home in Maine.

Hope he comes to Manson
[Manson Democrat]
Mrs. Earnest Simpson was taken to the Methodist hospital in Des Moines, the other day, where she will be operated on for an internal tumor. Her condition is very serious. She has been suffering with her trouble for some time and the operation is necessary to save her life. Her case is a sad one. Deserted several years ago by the man she married and who is the father of her five children, she has struggled against all odds and supported her little ones as best she could, while the man in the case has been bumming around the country, nobody knows where. Charitable people have divided the children among themselves and will give them good homes while the poor mother battles for what little life is left in her. It is quite probable that if Simpson should ever show his face in Manson again he would get it badly broken or terribly twisted before he got two blocks from the railroad station.

Humphrey Bradstreet, sometimes also seen as Broadstreet, in 1634 sailed on the ship Elizabeth from Ipswich, Essex, England to the Massachusetts Bay. Listed with him were his wife Briget (Elizabeth Harris), and children Hannah, John, Martha and Mary. Certain genealogies states Humphrey and Briget were married in 1622 in Capel Saint Mary, Suffolk Co, England. Others state Humphrey was born in Ipswich, had family in Bentley, Essex Co, and worked in Capel St. Mary, Suffolk. The Topographical Disctionary of 2885 English Emigrants to new England, states Humphrey wsa from Creeting All Saints. Further UK research will be understaken to further develop the Bradstreet family history.

While may not know much of Humphrey's past prior to 1636, much is known of his life after his arrival in New England. Perhaps the best summary is found in The Great Migration, A-B:

* Humphrey became a Freeman on May 6, 1635, was thereafter referred to as Mister (vs. Goodman).
* Was appointed theh deputy for Ipswich to Massachusetts Bay General Court on September 2, 1635.
* Included on committee to consider Mr. Endicott's defacing of the colors, May 6, 1635.
* Served on Essex County jury on December 28, 1641 and September 26, 1648

Humphrey, like many of his contemporaries, used the court to address personal squabbles and disagreements. He was commonly at odds with John Cross, whom he likely knew prior to his immigration, as Mr. Cross and his wife Anne were also passengers on the Elizabeth. "Humphrey sued John Cross at court 27 March, 1649, but the case was nonsuited...John Cross returned the favor and sued Humphrey Broadstreet, Richard Jacob and John Gage for trespass on 25 September 1649...Cross also sued John Bradstreet that day. The family was again entangled with Cross in November 1649 when Cross was fined for slanderous speeches against Mr. Rogers of Rowley, and John Bradstreet was fined, evidently for the same thing, and Humphrey served as his surety.

"A later court case, 26 December 1649, showed that the trespass in question dealt with a gray colt. Bradstreet claimed that the colt was not his, 'he never had a colt in his life'. At September Term 1650, Humphrey Bradstreet and John Bradstreet had their bond of good behavior discharged.

"On 29 March 1653, Humphrey took Stephen Kent to court 'for taking away, using and abusing and not returning a boar, and for suspicion of taking away other swine.' The case was withdrawn."

In addition to Humphrey's law suits, we are also privileged with details from his will, which may be found in the Essex county, Massachusetts Probate Record, 1635-1681 (Ancestry.com). The family farm, a 130-acre parcel granted to Humphrey by King Charles I in 1635, was left to his son Moses. This farm remained in the family, passed down from generation to generation, until it was sold in 2007 to the Town of Rowley for 2.75 million dollars.

Many pictures were found online of this farm, and interestingly, the farm was the subject of interest throughout the country, with notations in such papers as the El Paso Herald-Post, which reported on June 27, 1934, "John D. Bradstreet still lives in the house built in 1634 by Humphrey Bradstreet."

On January 22, 1937, the New York Herald Tribune published the following:

Rowley, Mass, Jan 21 - Chuckling philosophically at the evil days on which he has fallen, John Dowling Bradstreet this morning helped kill the last pig on his farm, which has been ___ by nine generations of the same family ever since 1635, when Humphrey Bradstreet received it as a grant. As the sow expired and was hung up in the barn to be dressed, it left three cats and twenty barred Plymouth Rocks as the only remaining livestock on the farm, which Mark Sullivan, after some research, now thinks must be "the authentic oldest American farm in continuous ownership of the same family."
Cobwebs stretched between the stanchions in the barn, built before 1776, for when milk dropped to three cents a quart a few years ago Mr. Bradstreet sold his cows. Dust had gathered in the grooves worn in the stable floor by many teams of Bradstreet horses. Mr. Bradstreet's only crop now is hay, which he sells to neighbors who in turn, rent horses to him when mowing time comes around.
The Florence Morning News, Florence, S.C., published on December 16, 1951, a comic from Ripley's Believe It Or Not, which stated:
The Bradstreet Farm
Rowley, Mass
Established in 1635
by Humphrey Bradstreet

The Same Family

In the History of Penobscot County Maine, page 286, the following is noted of James L. Scott:

"James Scott was an early settler in Chester, and his sons, William, Moses, and Luther, still reside in Chester, and also several of their descendants. Most early went to Woodville. William still resides at the old place. Moses and Luther are on the Babcock and other of the oldest farms in Chester. Luther removed to Kingman. Most of them have large families, and nearly all have the Scott characteristics."

In the Orphan's Court records for Henry Uphouse is a listing of his children, including a child named "Frederick." Henry died in 1857, and by 1860 Henry's wife had already remarried to William Pullen. Only Frederick's younger sister was residing with her mother; the rest of the children were with various friends and family.

Frederick was a stone mason.

Information on the family of Capt. Moses Bradstreet and his wife, Elizabeth Harris was taken from the Essex Antiquarian, Vol 11, Massachusetts and Maine Families in the Ancestry of Walter Goodwin Davis, Vol. 2, and Vital Records of Rowley, MA to the end of 1849. From Massachusetts and Maine Families, we learn that Elizabeth (Harris) Bradstreet died about 1682. However, the Essex Antiquarian states the couple had a son, Johnathan, about 1690, the same year that Moses died.

We do know that Moses was remarried to his second wife, widow Sarah (Platts) Prime by the time their son Samuel was born 4 May 1687(Vital Records of Rowley, MA). (Sarah's first husband, Samuel Prime, died 18 Mar, 1684, so her marriage to Moses would have been sometime in 1684 to 1686.) Thus, Jonathan was actually the son of Moses and Sarah.

In the History of Rowley, Anciently including Bradford, Boxford, and Georgetown from the Year 1639 to the Present Time (1840), Thomas Gage gives provides a glimpse of Capt. Moses Bradstreet's military career. On page 221 he quotes a letter dated June 28, 1689, in which the company requested of the Governor Moses' appointment to Captain:

"The foot company being called together by
order, the militia in the said town being desired to bring
in their votes for a nomination of a meet person for a
Captain, to supply the place of Captain Johnson, de-
ceased, the said Company have unanimously chosen Cor-
poral Moses Bradstreet, to be their Captain, if the Hon-
ored Counsell please to establish him in said office, a
man whom we judge in good measure qualified and fitted
for such place; and the said company being so fully sat-
isfied with the said nomination, wee think wee need not
say further in way of commendation…"

The following month, Gage notes Moses' role in the Indian hostilities of 1689:

"July 22. Captain Moses Bradstreet, and Lieutenant
John Trumble, petitioned the Governor and Council for
leave to withdraw some of the Rowley men from the
guard at Haverhill, one in a week, or two in a fortnight,
supplying their places with other men. This they ask
for on account of the busy season of the year.
They also petitioned to have the Rowley men, who
went out with Major Appleton (of Ipswich), and who
are now stationed in the several garrisons at Cocheco,
(Dover,) and other places in that vicinity, sent home.
They represent Rowley as being more hardly dealt with
than Newbury or Ipswich, as their men have all been
permitted to return home before haying."

Moses died the following summer on 17 August, 1690. He is buried in the Old Burying Ground, his gravestone the oldest in the cemetery. It reads:

HEAR LYS WHAT WAS
MORTAL OF Ye WORTHY
CAP MOSES BRADSTREET
DESEASED AUGUST Ye

YEAR OF HIS AGE

FLtt FOR Ye FOLD

An extract of Moses' will is found in the Historical Collections of the Essex Institute, Vol. 5, and reads:

"Will of Moses Bradstreet, dated 16th of August 1690, mentions his wife's children by her former husband; son, John Bradstreet, to him one half of the farm 'yt was my Father Broadstreets,' sons, Humphrey, Nathaniel, Moses and Jonathan. Daughters, Bridget and Hannah. Appoints John and Moses exrs. Witnesses, Edward Payson, Nicholas Wallis and Nehemiah Jewett, probate Sept. 30, 1690. Inventory of above estate, taken 26th of Sept., 1690, by Samuel Platts and Nehemiah Jewett, amounting to £1257 2s., debts against the estate £31 12 s. 5d. Returned Sept. 30, 1690."

It would appear that daughter Elizabeth and son Aaron had also predeceased him by the time of his death in 1690. One wonders why the last Samuel, born in 1687, was also missing from the will.

Ipswich in the Massachusetts Bay Colony, p. 366-367:

The spot now occupied by the Payne School house is remembered by our old citizens as a knoll or small hill, on which a small house stood, near the front fence of the school yard. This was also part of the Common land and was granted to Aaron Day. John and Lucy Lefavour of Marblehead, heirs of Day presumably, sold William Lakeman, Jr., "a certain piece of land granted to Aaron Day, cabinet-maker, by the commoners, with a small dwelling, being at the southwest corner of the Town's land of
Little Hill, so called, thence running southwest to Scott's Lane, to the road leading to Linebrook Parish, thence about 7 rods northwest on the road leading to Linebrook, then northeast on the back lane to the Town land first mentioned," Jan. 1796 (160: 159). It was Gander Hill, in later years, and the reason of this name may be found in the title "Goose Pasture," of a piece of pastureland on the other side of Boxford road, in the inventory of John Wood 's estate. The committee of the proprietors of the
"Turkey Hill Eight and ye Eight next Rowley," sold Wood for £11, a three quarter acre lot, which may be included in the field used as a ballground, now owned by Mr. Thomas H. Lord, "the Highway to be left full 2 rods and a half wide from y"" proprietor's fence as it now stands," May 21, 1736 (75: 208). The school house stood near the present Hose House sixty years ago, and was moved to the present spot and enlarged after the Hill had been levelled.

James W. Christopherson, 83, of West Hartford, beloved husband to Sharon M. (Sackrison) Christopherson, is now standing before the throne of God, adding his beautiful tenor voice to the voices of the saints and the angels in the heavenly choir, praising his Lord and Savior. He passed away on Wednesday, November 18, 2020. James was born in Minneapolis, MN on September 3, 1937, son to the late Wesley A. and Myrna P. (Smallen) Christopherson. Jim was employed by Hamilton Standard immediately after graduating from the University of Minnesota, first as a mechanical engineer and then as senior system analyst, until the time of his retirement. In his free time, Jim loved the outdoors, especially his frequent camping trips to Maine with his family. He also enjoyed traveling and always referred back to his genealogy discoveries and findings in Norway. The information he found out about his past and family lead him to many interactions with distant relatives. Jim was an outstanding husband, father and grandfather, always providing for them and encouraging them to the best of his abilities. Jim also had a beautiful tenor voice, and at one time sang in the Hartford Opera Company chorus. More recently he enjoyed singing with the Around Town Singers & Orchestra in Suffield. He also was a member of the Windsor Locks Congregational Church and sung in their choir for many years. In addition to his wife, Jim is survived by three children, Elizabeth Huber and her husband Tom of Monmouth, ME, John Christopherson and his wife Elyse of Windsor and Dianna Aprea and her husband Mark of Newington; a daughter-in-law Maxine Christopherson of Windsor; 13 grandchildren; 10 great-grandchildren; two brothers, Joel and Jeffrey Christopherson, both of Minnesota, and a sister Roberta Taylor of Michigan. Jim was predeceased by both parents; his son, Robert Christopherson and two brothers, John and Jerald Christopherson. All funeral services for James will be private. Burial will be held in Grove Cemetery, Windsor Locks. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to Operation Smile, 3641 Faculty Boulevard, Virginia Beach, VA 23453 or to Doctors Without Borders USA, P.O. Box 5030, Hagerstown, MD 21741-5030.
