==First name==
Thiesen's gravestone ([http://www.uwf.edu/gis/smc/images/476.jpg]) spells his name CHRISTEN. Should we defer to that spelling? '''[[User:Dscosson|dscosson]]''' ··· '''[[User talk:Dcosson|talk]]''' 17:50, 7 April 2008 (CDT)
:Yeah, I would go with "Christen." --[[User:Admin|Admin]] 18:37, 7 April 2008 (CDT)
==Middle name==
Looking at a low-res image of Thiesen's gravestone ([http://www.uwf.edu/gis/smc/images/476.jpg]), his middle name is either Ustrup or Usirup. Personally, the third letter looks more like an "I" to me, but according to the Google, "Ustrup" is Danish. I'm going with that.

:You can see the top bar of the "T" over the rest of the name. Maybe the engraver made a mistake at first. --[[User:Admin|Admin]] 18:37, 7 April 2008 (CDT)
