People of Thorsby and vicinity were shocked last Friday morning to learn of the sudden death during the night of Mr. P. K. Villadsen, who retired in apparent good health and awoke in the night complaining of pain and died before the doctor could reach the house. The funeral was held on Tuesday at 10:30 from the Congregational Church, of which he was a member. Interment was in Concordia cemetery. Peter Kortbeck Villadsen was born in Morse, Denmark, June 20, 1859. He was raised on a farm and educated in the schools of Denmark. He joined the army service for seven years, during which time he received rank as a corporal and became secretary of his batallion. He came to the United states at the age of twenty six, going first to Chicago for a short stay. He then spent two years as a hunter and trapper in Colorado and Wyoming, returning to Chicago where he held various positions in the employ of the City Railway Co. He was married
in Chicago in 1889 to Anna Skov. They came to Thorsby in 1901. Since coming to Thorsby Mr. Villadsen has been actively connected with many of the organizations for the upbuilding of the town. At the time of his death he was Secretary and Manager of the Fruit Growers Association. Past Consul Commander of the W.O.W., member of the Town Council, Chairman of the Federal Farm Loan Committee for Thorsby, was Secretary of the Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees of Thorsby Institute, and Treasurer of the United Protestant Church. The town of Thorsby will long bear witness to his untiring labors for its welfare and the beautifying of its park and streets.
"Clanton Press, " No longer in print, Thursday, September 6, 1917, Resolutions of Respect In the world's work it is perfectly natural that we prize most highly the person who renders the largest service, or who serves with greatest devotion. It is fitting that some public expression of real appreciation would be made when death puts an end to the physical activities of a co-laborer. The executive committee of the Board of Trustees of Thorsby Institute hereby attempts to express in part its appreciation of the services of one of its most active and faithful members. For the past four and one-half years Mr. Peter K. Villadsen, of Thorsby, Ala., was a member of the Board of Trustees of Thorsby Institute, and served in an official capacity the major part of the time. His devotion to the work and to forego opportunities for personal recreation in order to serve the Institute. He was ever faithful to attend the meetings of the Board and its several committees of which he was a member. As a member of the Buildings and Grounds Committee he was always working to the end that the property should combine comfort, cleanliness and beauty, and his finger prints and footsteps will be in evidence for years to come. His desire to see the Thorsby Institute render the highest service to its growing student body and to the local community seemed to be uppermost in his mind. In his death August 23, 1917, there was a great loss to his family, his church, and our school. We extend to his widow and children our sincere sympathy in this hour of bereavement. We also rejoice with them in the fact that his life as we knew him was such as to leave behind him a record for patriotism, high ideals, and large sympathy for his fellowmen. We pray that his children may emulate his good examples. Resolved: That a copy of this resolution be published in the County paper, a copy spread upon our Committee records, and a copy placed in the hands of the widow of our departed friend and brother. THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF THORSBY INST.
