Fern Christenson Endowment Fund |
| |
 Established
by Fern Christenson with a gift of oil properties and leases in
western North Dakota, the fund will assist the Dray ton Methodist
Church during Mr. Christenson's lifetime, after which the income
will be granted to address changing needs across North Dakota
through the NDCF's unrestricted grants program. Born on a
farmstead near Bowesmont, North Dakota, Fern Christenson lived and
farmed there until fragile health recently caused him to move to a
care center. Mr. Christenson served as a member of the boards of
directors of the Bowesmont Methodist Church, the Bowesmont
Cemetery, Joliette Elevator Company and Lincoln Township. |
