ANDREW JENSEN was born in Denmark on the 22nd day of February 1844.  At the age 
of 17 he united with the Baptist Church in Frederickshaven.  In 1876 he came to 
this country and was married the next year to Caroline ANDERSEN.  This marriage 
was of short duration as she died in 1881.

In 1882 he was married to Inger M. CHRISTENSEN of Racine, Wisconsin.  Six months 
later they moved to South Dakota and located in Daneville, Turner County.  Ten 
children were born to this union of which eight remain to mourn their loss, two 
sons and six daughters.  George is on the home farm in Minnesota; Roy is in the 
army stationed in California.  The daughters are:  Mrs. Lena MONK, Mrs. Huldah 
PINNEY, Mrs. Lillie SWENSON, Eva and Ida, all of Viborg, and Mrs. Eleanora 
BEYERS of Beebe, S. Dak.  The faithful wife also remains.  There also remains 
one sister, Mrs. Lars NIELSON of Sioux Falls, and two brothers, Marinus JENSEN 
of Viborg and S.C. JENSEN of Turkey Valley. 

Mr. JENSEN was a member of the Viborg Baptist Church since its organization, for 
many years its clerk.

In 1902 he and his family moved to Leader, Cass Co., Minnesota.  He immediately 
united with the Baptist Church there and became a great help to the cause. 

About a year ago his health began to fail.  Though having the best of care he 
gradually grew weaker until on the 11th day of March he peacefully fell asleep.  
His body was brought to Viborg for interment.  The funeral took place from the 
Baptist Church March 15th, Revs. BOLVIG of Minnesota and Peters officiating.  A 
host of friends extend their sympathy to the bereaved family.
