Johan D. Frederiksen

News has just been received of the death of Mr. J. D. Frederiksen at St. Petersburg, Fla., on February 19,1926. Mr. Frederiksen was for many years vice-president and general manager of Chr. Hansen's Laboratory, Little Falls, N. Y., having retired from active business in the fall of 1924. He was born at Fuglsang, Lolland, Denmark, August 18, 1846. His father was an expert farmer who at one time conducted eight large estates, two of which he owned. His mother was the daughter of a minister named Hansen.

He attended school in Soro where he lived in the home of Professor Johnstrup, later graduating from the agricultural college in Copenhagen in 1866. A few years later, he and his brother Christian attempted to introduce sugar beet raising in Denmark. Production began in 1872. Then came the "Black Friday" on the New York Stock Exchange precipitated by Jay Gould. The effect was disastrous even in Denmark, and ruined the two brothers financially.
