Probably "The Index"
Cora Belle Hurlock Jensen was born near Monrovia, Atchison Co Kansas July 26, 
1872, and grew to womanhood in that state.  At the age of 18 she made public 
confession of faith in the Christian religion and united with the Christian 
church at Norton, Kansas, and remained a constant loyal follower of Christ all 
her life.  For several years she taught in the public schoos of her native 
state.  On January 11, 1897, she was married to Neils Jensen, at Leavenworth 
Kansas.  The following year they moved to Platte Co Missouri, where they lived 
until 1905, when they moved to Weaubleau Missouri, where they resided until 
the times of their death.  On March 3, 1912, the husband died. The story of 
Mrs Jensen since the death of her husband is the story of a heroine.  Left 
with 4 small children she set herself with dauntless courage to the task of 
not only keeping family from the support of charity but of training and 
educating her children for useful citizenship.  The problem was a hard one.  
She decided to try to fit herself to meet the advanced standard for teaching, 
and in 1913 entered the old Weaubleau Christian College here for that 
purpose.  With an application to her work surpassed by no student of the 
college she succeeded, and passed the teachers' examination with honor, and 
from that time until two years before her death she supported and educated her 
family and herself by teaching. On February 1, 1934, last Thursday she ended a 
task well and nobly done, and answered the call of her Master to come up 
higher and receive the reward of faithful service.  Her only son, Vernon 
Francis, died April 9, 1926.  Her three daughters survive her; Mrs Vera 
Lerdoll, Lincoln, Nebraska; Mrs Opal Phillips, Clinton, Mo; and Mrs Eveleyn 
Nowell, Kansas City, Mo.  She leaves also three grandchildren, Barbara B. 
Nowell, Coralie Phillips and Frances Phillips, an aged mother (nearly 92 years 
old), living at Burlington, Kansas, and 4 brothers and 1 sister, all living in 
Kansas.
