Author: Luther A. Ingersoll, Editor (1893)

CARSON JENSEN was born in Schleswig-Holstein, Prussia, September 10, 1848. He
remained with his parents until 1868, when he left his native country for the
United States. He landed at New York in the spring of 1868, and at once found
employment in that city. After remaining in New York one year, he came in 1869
to California. First he went to Monterey county, where he purchased a ranch and
began stock-raising. He was in this business until 1884. That year he sold his
stock ranch and came to Hollister, the county seat of San Benito county, and
since then has been engaged in the hotel business here. As a genial and obliging
host, he is well-known and is popular with the traveling public.

  He was married in 1885 to Miss Juliet Rouk, and Carson Jensen, Jr., is their
only child.

  Mr. Jensen is one of the pioneers of San Benito county, and indeed may be
called one of its founders.
