Notes
- Although the Lild Parish Register records Lars' birth, I found no listing of witnesses for his baptism. His confirmation was recorded on 18 April 1830 (FHL MF 0053228, page 101). Cai Mygind, in his book on families from Hanherred and Hillerslev Herred, says Lars was born at Diernesgêard. At his baptism, Lars was held by Ingeborg Pedersdatter from Oddersb²l; witnesses were Miss Lund of Kaerup parsonage, Jens Thomassen, farmer from T²mmerby, Jens Christen Christensen of Rotb²lgêard and Thomas Larsen Lund from Norklit. Two years after Lars' brother Casper died, Lars married Casper's widow, Helene Pedersdatter, with whom he had four children. Lars was listed as Lars Diµrnis, 31, farmer in the 1845 census at Madsb²ll. Helene's children, Christian Diµrnis, 7 and Marie Diµrnis, 4 were listed, along with servants Lars Nielsen and Johanne Pedersdatter. In the 1850 census Lars was still a farmer at Madsb²ll, age 38, but Lars Chr Larsen, 12 was there instead of twin brother Christian (see notes under Helene Pedersdatter for others in the household). Cai Mygind says the marriage was not happy. Lars had become a wreckmaster, but did not look after wreckage or the property which Helene had brought to the marriage. He and the schoolmaster often drank and gambled together at the inn, and Lars lost most of the family fortune. Lars became known as Lars Madsb²l after the farm his brother Casper had purchased, and on which the family lived. In about 1865 Helene separated from Lars, and Madsb²l was sold. Lars bought a little house out in the sandhills where he lived 'a somewhat seedy life.' He sometimes lived with his daughter Mariane, who had married a farmer in ¢sl²s, and sometimes with his other daughter, Caspara Nielsen Dommerby in Hjardemêal Klit. He died in Caspara's home in 1891.
