Kirstine Svendsdatter lost her husband of 16 years when she was 40
years old. As she refused to re-marry, her unmarried brother Søren
Low came to help her farm Krogegård and raise her three young
children. She died of breast cancer at the age of 57. She is the last
of my direct ancestors to own Krogegård, although it would stay in
the family ownership for several more generations.
