Synopsis:  

• Henry was one of 13 children and Esther one of 8. Each summer, for many years, there was a JENSEN and a JACOBSON family picnic.  At one time, nearly 500 family members attended the JENSEN picnics.

• Esther was baptized at the Orum Church, Lincoln Twp., Washington County, NE

• Henry and Esther lived on the farm purchased from Henry’s father, Soren, and Henry continued to be active in the farming operation until the late 1960’s.  

• He drove until his 92d birthday when he passed both the written and driving tests but turned in his license with the comment that the motor vehicle division were “fools” to give a license to someone of his age.  

• Clarence died of measles when he was 6 and Mary Ann was stillborn.  

• In 1919, Henry and Esther left the farm and moved to Santa Rosa, CA where Henry played the trumpet in a dance band.  They lived only a couple of blocks from the home/garden of Luther BURBANK and Esther had vivid memories of seeing him around the town.  Merton remembered walking to school and stopping to visit with Luther Burbank on the way to and from school.  They attended a Baptist Church built entirely from a single redwood tree and the church could still be visited in 1961 when Merton’s family visited Santa Rosa.  

• Unable to make a living as a trumpet player, Henry and Esther returned to the farm after a year in CA and finished raising Merton on the family farm north of Blair.  

• In a letter from Clarice ANDERSON, dated March 6, 1978, her mother reports that "Henry JENSEN - He played for a Danish Brotherhood dance in Kennard, just after they were married.  Esther was with him; she was a very good-looking woman.  The two-step was just starting to be popular; he came down (from the bandstand) and they showed how to dance it."

DEATH/OBITUARY/CEMETERY RECORDS

• Obituary.  Blair Tribune 22 Oct 1913.  The many friends of Henry JENSEN and family are sympathizing with them in the loss of their seven months old baby, Cora Mae JENSEN, who died October 17, from stomach trouble.  The funeral services were held Sunday at the home, Rev. G.B. WARREN officiating.  The remains were laid to rest in the Blair cemetery.  It was the first automobile funeral procession held in Washington County.

• Obituary.  Blair Democrat, 23 October 1913.  Mr. and Mrs. Henry C. JENSEN are mourning the loss of their seven-months-old daughter, Cora May, who died suddenly Saturday morning.  So quickly was the little one stricken that few of the family knew of her illness until death had occurred.  The father was in Lincoln at the time having gone there to attend Grand lodge of the I.O.O.F.  When the seriousness of the child's condition dawned on his brothers frantic efforts were made to reach him.  Before he could reach home death had occurred.  The little body was laid to rest in the Blair cemetery Sunday, after services had been conducted at the residence by Rev. WARREN.

• Obituary.  Blair Enterprise, 24 Oct 1913.  Baby Dies Suddenly.  Little Cora May, only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Henry C. JENSEN of River View farm, died early Saturday morning after a severe illness of less than one day.  A very few knew of the baby's illness until informed of her death, and only a small number of relatives were with the grief-stricken mother when the little one passed away, just at daybreak Saturday morning.  Mr. JENSEN was away from home at the time, having gone to Lincoln to attend grand lodge of the Odd Fellows and could not reach home until the little one had passed away.  The funeral services were held at the home north of Blair, at 1 o'clock p.m. Sunday and were in charge of Rev. G.B. WARREN, the newly arrived Methodist minister.  The old neighbors from the Papio neighborhood furnished the music and four little cousins of the baby, Edna and Mildred JENSEN, Blanch REEH and Odessa SVENDGAARD acted as pall-bearers.  The flowers sent to the stricken home were many and beautiful, the little casket being completely banked in beautiful white blossoms of every kind.  A large number of sympathetic friends, relatives and neighbors attended the services and accompanied the grief-stricken parents to the cemetery where the little one was tenderly laid to rest.

• Obituary.  Blair Enterprise, 31 Dec 1915.  Herbert Clarence JENSEN.  The spirit of little Clarence JENSEN passed to the other world last Friday morning, December 24, at eight o'clock, after an illness of eighteen days.  He was taken down with measles on the 6th inst. and came through the first period of the disease with promise of early recovery but later a relapse took place which developed a malignant form of peritonitis, resulting fatally.  Herbert Clarence was the eldest of two only children, sons of Mr. and Mrs. Henry C. JENSEN, being six years, one month and seven days of age when death claimed him for its own.  Elihu Merton, approaching his fifth year, is the only solace left to their bleeding hearts, their seven months-old baby girl having been taken from them by the death angel two years ago.  The ways of Providence are beyond the comprehension of mortal man.  Words of consolation are as chaff to the hungry, in such trials.  Those who have never "Passed under the Rod," have never been called to part with their idols, images of themselves, have little adequate conception of the sacrifice involved, the torn and bleeding hearts of the fond parents, the motherlove that "passeth understanding."  In such affliction the appeal to an abiding Christian faith and fortitude, to believe, implicitly, that when the Son of God exhorted his hearers to "Suffer little children to come unto Me and forbid them not, for of such is the Kingdom of Heaven,"  He was preparing for a reunited family, where all should meet, never to part again, the promised land, is the only inspiring consolation for distressed, sorrowing parents.  The city of the dead, where repose all that is earthly of their darlings will live in their memories as a sacred, hallowed spot and be viewed by them with such reverental [sic] love as is accorded no other of God's silent acres in the broad Universe.  Funeral services were held at the home at two o'clock, Sunday afternoon, conducted by Rev. C.M. FOREMAN, of the Baptist church and the little form was laid away by the side of the baby sister in the Blair cemetery.  Six little schoolmates from the Cuming City school, served as pallbearers.  The floral tributes were beautiful and profuse.

• Obituary.  Blair Enterprise, 1 Nov 1973.  Mrs. Henry C. JENSEN Died At Hospital Last Saturday.  Mrs. Henry C. JENSEN (Esther Marie) died at Memorial Community hospital last Saturday, October 27th.  She had been in failing health for several months.  Mrs. JENSEN, who was 87 years of age, was born February 22nd, 1886 at Blair and had lived in Washington County most of her life.  She was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ola JACOBSON, early day well known residents of the community.  On December 26, 1906, she was married to Henry C. JENSEN and they have been married over 66 years.  During their active years they lived on a farm in the Cuming City School District and resided there after retirement.  Mrs. JENSEN was a member of the First Baptist Church.  She was also a Past Matron of the Order of Eastern Star, a member of the Rebekah Lodge and a former member of the Monday Afternoon Club.  For the past two years she has been a resident of the Good Shepherd Home, her health due to advance age, being such that she could no longer continue with her home-keeping duties.  She was the mother of two sons and two daughters.  One son, Clarence and the two daughters, Cora Mae and Mary Ann, preceded her in death.  Her son, Merton survives.  Other survivors are her husband, Henry C., three granddaughters, four great grandchildren, and a sister, Mrs. Herbert HURD (Cora) who lives in Belgrade, Nebraska.  Funeral services were held at the Campbell Mortuary, Monday, October 29th.  The Rev. Harold JORGENSEN, a long time friend of the family, conducted the service.  Burial was made in the Blair Cemetery.  The pallbearers were Leo HURD [HOOKS], Onno AHLERS, Joe GUTSCHOW, John VOSS, Jack JENSEN and Gordon KEMPCKE.

• Obituary.  Blair Enterprise, 2 October 1975.  Henry C. JENSEN, 92-year-old Blair resident, was buried at Blair last Monday afternoon, September 29th.  He was the last member of thirteen children of the late Mr. and Mrs. Soren JENSEN, early day farmers and landowners of the area.  The deceased was born at Blair, December 25th, 1882 and lived out his entire life in or near Blair.  he died at the Blair Hospital Saturday, September 27th, but had been making his home at the Good Shepherd Home.  As a younger man, he continued the family tradition of farming.  In addition, he took an active part in many civic affairs.  He was an ardent Democrat, as was the entire family, and for many years the families of the thirteen sons and daughters of the Soren JENSEN family swung considerable influence in the election of Democrats for county offices.  In addition to his farming activities, he served for many years on the Burt-Washington Drainage District Board and had much to do with the creation of the series of drainage ditches which drain the bottomlands between Tekamah and Blair.  Prior to the creation of the system, rain water from the hill lands would rush down the creeks and flood the broad bottomland which now are so productive.  For many years he was closely associated with the Blair City band, as were several of the other Jensen brothers.  Indicative of his good health and longevity is the fact that he continued to own and drive his own car until he was nearly 91 years of age.  He was married to Esther JACOBSEN [sic], who preceded him in death about a year ago. [It was October of 1973]  He is survived by a son, Merton, who lives on the family farm north of Blair.  Two other children, a son and a daughter, preceded their parents in death.  There are three grandchildren.  Funeral services were held Monday afternoon at St. Mary's Episcopal Church.  Father Robert BEE conducted the service and burial was made in the Blair Cemetery under the direction of the Campbell Mortuary.  Pallbearers were Harold HURD, Onno AHLERS, Jack JENSEN, Merton KUHR, John VOSS and Lee HOOKS.

• Article, Blair Newspaper, 1956.  Henry C. JENSENs Celebrate Anniversary Christmas Day.  Mrs. and Mrs. Henry C. JENSEN observed their 50th Wedding Anniversary Tuesday, December 25th at their home north of Blair.  125 friends and relatives called during the afternoon and evening to extend congratulations.  During the afternoon their granddaughters Judy JENSEN and Jane JENSEN poured coffee and served ice cream.  Their niece, Marjorie HOOKS of Hyattsville, Maryland served the wedding cake.  Another granddaughter, Debbie JENSEN had charge of the guest book.  In the evening Mrs. JENSEN's sisters, Mrs. Martin JACOBSON of Alliance, Mrs. Martin FELTHEIM and Mrs. Herbert HURD of Belgrade, Nebraska were in charge of the serving table.  Mrs. Merton JENSEN and Mrs. Anna AHLERS, daughter-in-law and niece respectively, were in charge of the kitchen.  Mrs. JENSEN was Esther JACOBSON before her marriage on December 25th, 1906.  Mr. and Mrs. JENSEN have one son, Mertyon and three granddaughters.  They have lived on a farm in various parts of Washington County all their married lives with the exception of one year in California and a brief time in the city of Blair.  Mr. JENSEN served as a supervisor of the Burt-Washington County Drainage District for twenty-five years.  He was a member of the Board of Directors for thirty-five years and served as president of the district for twenty-seven years.  He and his son have farmed together for the past few years.  Both Mr. and Mrs. JENSEN have been active in the O.E.S. having served as Matron and Patron.  They are members of the Blair Baptist Church.

• Article, Blair Newspaper, 1968.  Henry JENSEN Enjoys His Home Workshop.  Caption under first picture:  Henry JENSEN stands before the shat and belt line in his shop.  The belt line was used before electric motors became common.  Caption under second picture:  Mrs. JENSEN has saved the thread spools which she has emptied during her married life.  Henry has strung them to make a chain.  Article text:  Henry JENSEN, who will be 86 years old on Christmas Day, has decided on a  workshop as his retirement hobby, and spends much of his leisure time there "just fixing things."  Actually, Mr. JENSEN has one of the oldest workshops in the county.  In 1913, Henry JENSEN, with his two brothers Ed and Albert, who all lived close by, about a half mile north of Dana College, decided they would like electric service.  So the three built their own service line north from the College and received current from the City of Blair.  The farms are still on the Blair lines.  Separate electric motors on appliances were not then common, so Mr. JENSEN fixed up a shaft and belt line in his shop, from which he ran the washer, the church, the cream separator, and a grindstone.  The belt line is still intact, but is seldom used now.  In his workshop, Mr. JENSEN has a roll-top desk which he bought from the Stanley Pierce Furniture Store before 1918.  The desk is still in excellent condition.  They have in their house an oak dining table bought from the Pierce store, also in excellent shape.  Mr. JENSEN said that he started last June "fixing things."  One of his projects was the restoration of a dining room chair which was a wedding present 62 years ago.  He has also restored a wardrobe which is over 100 years old.  Henry JENSEN was very active on the board of the Burt-Washington Drainage District, serving as a director for 35 years and as chairman for 28 of those years.  He was the maintenance supervisor for 23 years and spent many anxious hours on the levees during times of high water.  He and his sister, Mrs. Myrtle VOSS of Blair, are the only two survivors of a family of 13.  He and his wife have lived most of their married life in the home they now occupy.  His father, Soren JENSEN, settled on the Harold JENSEN farm near Orum just 100 years ago.  (Handwritten note under the picture (Esther JENSEN's handwriting):  86 feet long over 800 spools)  (Handwritten note at the bottom of the article (Esther JENSEN's handwriting):  Our niece Mrs. RHOADES sent their photographer out to take our picture.  The spool I'm holding first one is mostly wood.  The next one 1920 spool 5 cents had more thread not so much wood)

• Henry JENSEN, James Peter's younger brother, wrote a letter to Jack JENSEN in 1970, as follows:  Blair Neb, Dec. 20 - 1970.  My Dear Great Grand nephews & nieces.  How nice to receive your card.  I have enjoyed my visits with you more than you think.  It reminds me of one time I was visiting with your grandad Pete.  He told me how he regretted meeting many of his nephews on the street without even a hello, except Merton who always met him with a hearty Hi Uncle Pete.  Mom & I wish you and your fine family A Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.  I am sending you this picture which you might like in your school records.  Your Uncle Hank.  (See Original Documents)

• Letter c. 11 Jul <1973.  Esther (JACOBSON) JENSEN to Mildred (KINGDON) MILLER.  Text:  Good Shepherd Home, Blair, Nebr.  Congratulations on your birthday.  Dear Mildred, No I hadn't forgotten your birthday but I'm so slow getting around to do things.  I'm getting so lazy I just seem to want someone else to do for me.  I still can't but my weight on my legs they just buckle under me.  I've given up what would I want to walk for anyway I can't do anything.  It's not as bad as it sounds.  They really take care of me here.  Henry came Dec. 14 1972.  So we get together in his room and play cribbage and look at ball games.  His sister Myrtle is here too.  There are a lot of nice people here.  I'm reconciled to live here to the end of the line.  I've been pretty good except for a little upset last week with my stomach.  The food here is so good I enjoy going to the dining room and eat what I haven't cooked.  I might be like the little boy who said "Mommy I wish I could have a pain in my stomach that didn't hurt so much.  I'm in the infirmary so have a roommate.  Henry is able to walk so he has a room of his won.  He has the old Desoto here and drives out to the farm and Merton's and Judy's that help pass the time for him and he has a lost a lot of weight now.  Also still has all his hair.  He looks wonderful, wants to go back to the old place but there isn't anything in the house.  He couldn't live out there alone.  Too much of a worry for Merton too.  Mert farms and works at the A.S.C. office part time and June and July he is assessor's helper, so he is sure busy.  Betty works for Miller Roland appliance too part time.  Judy, Rollie, Chris & Carri are fine.  Jane and her husband Joe were here this summer for Debbie's graduation.  She has a job on the teachers staff at Hastings for retarded children and has work ? [missing word].  Think of all you kids as next ? bring babies up.  Love, Aunt Esther.
