At the depot north of town, she set out walking along the tracks, suitcase in hand, her eyes locked on the smokestacks of the sprawling Forest Paper Co. mill complex on the Royal River.

[5]"That's what I was aiming for," Maren Madsen Christensen wrote in her memoir, Fra Jyllands Brune Heder til Landet Over Havet (Eng: From Jutland's Brown Heather to the Land Across the Sea).

She is buried in Yarmouth's Riverside Cemetery alongside her husband, Christian (m. July 3, 1894), who predeceased her by 29 years, and two of their four children: son Einar and daughter Gloria.

She is buried in Walnut Hill Cemetery in North Yarmouth alongside her husband, Ernest Hayes Allen.
