'''72.9 Christinus Castberg Lange I''', born 9 April 1830, died in Sandefjord 20 December
1912, graduated from Christiania Cathedral School in 1848, examination in philosophy
and theological university degree in 1853. In December 1854, he was appointed manager
and teacher of Sandefjord Upper Public School, and 25 February 1859 he was ordained
assistant to the vicar of Sandeherred. 30 April 1877, when Sandefjord became an
individual parish after dean M. B. Landstad's resignation, (see No. 56) he became the
vicar of Sandeherred from 1 July 1877. 13 October 1884 he became a dean in Larvik
parish. In opposition to most other ministers - regretfully -, Christinus Castberg Lange
always preached for a packed church, Reverend M. Hermanrud has informed the
publisher. He resigned from this job in 1906 and moved with his wife to Christiania.
They only stayed here for a little while, because their good memories drove them back to
Sandefjord, where they bought a house from which they could see their old, beloved
vicarage in Sandeherred. Both of them died here on 21 January 1901, Christinus Castberg
Lange was made Knight of King Olav's order, for "Merited Office Activity".
In Sandeherred Church, 13 September 1855, his cousin Petra Christine Margrethe Bing
Castberg, born in Kviteseid 22 August 1831, daughter of the vicar at that time, Peter
Hersleb Harboe Castberg (born 1794, died 1858 as vicar of Sandeherred) and Anna
Margaretha Zimmer Henckel, a Danish daughter of a clergyman (born in Samso 1793,
died 1854). In 1880, they celebrated their silver wedding, and in 1905 they're gold
wedding. On both of these occasions, they sat in the same living room and at the same
table as on their wedding day in 1855. A lot of relatives and friends attended their gold
wedding to wish them luck, and the vicarage wasn't big enough to contain all of them.
Sandefjord mechanic workshop had built an enormous tent in the garden, in which there
were both electrical lights, lined up tables and plenty of room for the 224 guests. All of
Sandefjord and Sandeherred were celebrating, and the newspapers published special
party-editions with the gold- bride's and groom's portraits and biographies. During the
supper, the guests were informed from one of the local newspapers, that the entire
Norwegian army and fleet was mobilized - it was during the critical days in 1905 - and
the next day, when the guests were on their way back home, the trains were full of
officers, soldiers and sailors who were to receive their outfits.
They had 12 children (No. 211-222)
