Mrs. Nielsen was born May 20, 1865 at Vestero on the island of Leeso, Denmark, a daughter of Andrew and Gertrude Svendsen. She came to Salt Lake City November 7, 1898 and married her girlhood sweetheart, Frederik Nielsen November 27, 1898. She and her husband joined the LDS church in 1901 and their marriage was later solemnized in the Salt Lake LDS Temple. Mr. Nielsen preceded her in death. Mrs. Nielsen had been active in the LDS Relief Society and visiting teacher and officer for more than 40 years. She was the mother of nine sons and daughters, seven of whom survive.

Smith, Heber and David S. Nielsen, Pasadena, CaL; Through the low, despicable; malicious action of a man or men, familiar with the operation of the Magna Water system, a float control was deliberately tampered with and moat of the community was without water early Tuesday morning. During the night, someone who knew the mechanism of the controls, pulled the chain on the top of the Shields Addition pumphouse and reservoir, causing the pump to automatically shut off. It would necessitate a man or someone using a ladder to do the trick.
