[Monument to Viggo A. Danielson Unveiled]

Skandinaven, June 1, 1904

The Danes have just unveiled a monument to Viggo A. Danielson, who was the supreme secretary of the Danish Brotherhood in America. The monument was made of granite: on the front was engraved, "Erected by the Danish Brotherhood," and underneath, "Memory of Viggo A. Danielson".

The procession started from Lagoni's Hall on the corner of Western and North Avenues. Six lodges were represented by eight hundred members. Near the monument was erected a stand, from which L.G. Cornelius bid everybody welcome. H.H. Vogt. the supreme president of the Danish Brotherhood, made a fine speech in which he paid tribute to the great work V.A. Danielson had done for the Brotherhood. Today the Brotherhood has ten thousand members spread all over the United States.
