#2-May 15, 1930- Fort Calhoun Chronicle- Carl H. Jensen

Carl H. Jensen, who three years ago purchased and with his family moved to the farm formerly owned by Wilford Myers, north of Ft. Calhoun, died suddenly from a heart attack Thursday evening, May 8. He had been working in the field and was unharnessing his team at the end of the day’s work when the fatal stroke came.

Mr. Jensen was born in Denmark on March 2, 1866. In 1887 he was united in marriage to Christine Christensen, and three years later they came to the United States, locating at Omaha, where he resided until 1927, operating a dairy farm on the site of the present Ak-Sar-Ben field. Preceding him in death were two sons and one daughter. Surviving him are his widow and four daughters and four sons; Mrs. C.E. McGrath of Omaha, Mrs. E.E. Bilon of Grand Island, Louise of Omaha, and Dorothy at home; Marmus of Ralston, George of Lincoln, Chas. of Omaha, and Arthur at home. He is also survived by eleven grandchildren.

Mr. Jensen was highly esteemed by all who knew him and the community extends sympathy to the family in its sudden and irreparable loss. The funeral was held at the Sievers Mortuary Monday afternoon, Rev. Underwood preaching the sermon. Interment was in Forest Lawn Cemetery, Omaha.
