Paul Paul Vendbjerg (Vendberg) Paulsen (1879-1971), above, and Karen Kristine Skow (1881-1961), below, at about the time of the marriage in 1906.
Karen and Paul Paulsen, third and fourth from the left, at the West Hotel in Luck, Wis., circa 1906, which they owned and ran in the early years of their marriage. Below, one of P.V. Paulsen's business cards.
The 11 children of Nels (1852-1909) and Anna Skow (1860-1928): Back row, from left: Karen "Carrie" Christine, 1881-1961; Martin George, 1896–1983; Henry (Jens Henry), 1886-1948; Carl Wilhem, 1898-1988; Theodore Frederic, 1882-1965; Ella Louise, 1902-1988. Front row: John A. (Alfred John), 1900-1988; Chris (Peter Christian), 1883-1958; Hans Jorgen, 1884–1947; Albert (Niels Albert), 1892–1971; Laurence (Lauritz), 1890–1966. Almost certainly taken at the time of their mother's funeral. She died on June 16, 1928.
The Skow siblings at the home place, presumably in 1928 at the time of their mother's funeral. Karen Skow Paulsen is third from the left. Ella Skow is second from the right. Carl Skow is in the center with his hands in his pockets. John is fourth from the right.
Theodore Skow (1888-1965), one of Karen Skow Paulsen's brothers, in his military uniform during World War I. (Inducted at Crosby, N.D., on July 20, 1918; sent to Camp Custer, Mich.; served in Battery D, 42nd Field Artillery. Discharged at Camp Dodge, Iowa, on Feb. 7, 1919, as a Private 1st Class.)
Seventeen-year-old Karen Skow, the oldest child, is standing behind her parents and younger siblings in this photo of the Nels and Anna Skow place, which was on 280th Avenue, west of Highway 35. (The home was torn down by later owners.)
Karen Paulsen surveying the tulips in her yard sometime in the 1940s.
P.V. Paulsen, second from right, with, from left, his siblings Dagmar (1892-1976), Anna (1889-1980) and Andrew (1883-1971) and his wife, Karen. The photo was taken in 1956 at the P.V. Paulsen place. Their sister Maria (1886-1911) died in childbirth, and their brother Lars (1881-1957) died at the St. Croix County Asylum, where he had been confined sometime prior to 1940. The asylum operated a 667-acre farm, where Lars is believed to have worked. There's a story about it at the St. Croix County Historical Society website. There's also an entry about it at the website asylumprojects.org.
Two photos from the P.V. and Karen Paulsen 50th anniversary party in 1956. The one below suggests that it was a windy, chilly day.
Karen, above, and Paul Paulsen in the living room of their home, circa 1960, in an upholstered chair that their daughter Clara gave them.
Karen Paulsen on her 80th birthday, Aug. 5, 1961. Her arm may be wrapped because of swelling she experienced after a mastectomy. She died less than a month later, on Aug. 29, 1961, of congestive heart failure.
Clara Brown, left, and Edna Martin with their aunt Dagmar Christensen in Grant, Mich., probably in the early 1960s.

The P.V. Paulsen Family: Back row, from left, Clara Paulsen Brown, Gilbert Paulsen, Lillian Paulsen Miller, Richard Paulsen, Marie Paulsen Peterson; front row, from left, Thora Paulsen, Karen Paulsen, Paul V. Paulsen, Edna Paulsen Martin. (Taken in 1947, at the time of the funeral of Richard's wife, Marcella Boe Paulsen.)
P.V. Paulsen's parents, Kristen (Jens Kristen) Paulsen (1851-1945) and Maren Kristine Jensen Paulsen (1851-1924), photographed at the Paulsen home place (on what is now 293rd Avenue, Frederic) in the early 1920s.
P.V. Paulsen's mother, Maren Kristine Jensen Paulsen (1851-1924), photographed at the Paulsen home place in the early 1920s.
Kristen Paulsen, right, and his son Andrew, photographed in Minneapolis in 1925. (Andrew's message to his father, typed on the back of the photo, is shown below. The I.D. is in Edna Martin's hand.)
A photo taken in Nykjobing, Morse, Denmark, birthplace of P.V. Paulsen. It had belonged to Kristen Paulsen, and presumably shows Kristen's mother, Mette Andersdatter (Norgaard) (1812–1897), in the center. The women on either side may be her daughters. The one on the left bears a striking resemblence to P.V. Paulsen. Show below is the back of the photo with a note by Kathy Martin.
