The following is excerpted, and translated, from "Bornholmske Samlinger", volume 28, pages 143-158:
As a loyal Dane and man of many talents who -- like the well-known Abraham Hansen (1650) and the men from 1658 -- without heeding danger threw himself in the fore-front in the fight for the right of the common people, Lars Nielsen deserves greatly to be remembered. He came from a renowned family and learned more than the essentials of plowing the soil: he had great dexterity and became a learned man with knowledge of the law, as well as the building-trade, he was also an excellent horseman.
We do not know much from his youth, but in 1705 he was a married man and a Cavalry Corporal "paa Tingst?" in Vestermarie parish. His bride Anne Pedersdatter was from Vallensg?rd in ?ker parish, where her father, Peder Larsen, for many years was farm manager for its owner, Steen Reedtz, and later Steen's widow - the matron Marine Juul of H?rbyg?rd. They do not seem to have lived in ?ker parish, as none of their children can be found christened there.
His father's sister, Giertrud Abrahamsdatter, and her husband Mogens Jensen, because of their advanced age, wanted to transfer their farm (Habbedamsg?rd in Olsker) to him. Since no one else in the family was able to come up with the necessary 600 Slettedaler, Lars Nielsen bought it, but we do not known exactly how much of that sum he paid down, although officially he bought the farm on August 13, 1705. Mogens Jensen died shortly thereafter, and the inheritance protocol show there was considerable disagreement among the heirs. Many contested the right of ownership to the farm and therefore the case had to be decided in court. Lars Nielsen won the case and his aunt Giertrud rejoiced by giving Lars a large silver-goblet inlaid with gold. In the March 10, 1706, probate held for his aunt's husband Mogens Jensen we find "Corporal Laust Nielsen paa Vestermarie" representing Giertrud Abrahamsdatter.
Lars Nielsen was now solidly entrenched with all of his properties and in Olsker was so highly regarded by the authorities that they already in 1708, the year after Mons Madsen's death, bestowed upon him the position of Council Chairman and the esteemed duty of Reeve (Sandemand) for North District (Nordre Herred). In 1707 he also became church-warden (Kirkev?rge) for Olsker parish. The military also called upon his talents, and promoted him to the rank of Quartermaster (Kvartermester) for Hammershus fortress.
Lars Nielsen was known as one of the best mill builders on Bornholm, and even at the age of 70 years he received an offer to build a mill on the tiny island of Christians?. There were a total of 400 people on the island and they needed 12 barrels of flour per day. The design chozen was a horizontal mill, and the contract was signed May 28, 1732 on behalf of the King. The cost was 300 Sldr. and Lars had to deliver the timber himself. He was now 71 years old and undertook the building of the mill after having transferred the farm to his son Peder. Before fully finishing the job Lars fell ill and sorrowfully had to leave. He returned home to his good wife Anne, who shared his sorrow with him, nursing him on his last travel, of which the Olsker-Allinge parish register tell us: "May 20, Quartermeister Lars Nielsen was buried in St. Ole's Churchyard, 73 years old," and only one week later that "May 27, Anne Lars Nielsen's was buried in St. Ole's Churchyard, 69 years old."
Probate records show us that Lars Nielsen was a very wealthy man, which of course means that there was no dire need for him to accept the challenge to undertake the building of the mill on Christians?.
The following entries in the ?ker-?kirkeby register show us that Anne Pedersdatter was the widow of Christopher Iversen in March of 1687, and since the burial record for Lars Nielsen and Anne Pedersdatter's first born child, J?rgen Larsen, was born circa June 1688, then they must have been married between April and October of 1687.
