INGER MARIE CHRISTENSEN was born in Sensysen, Denmark, 1860, the daughter of Mr. 
and Mrs. Ole CHRISTENSEN.  She taught school in her early days and joined the 
Baptist Church at Saby, Denmark at the age of 15 years.  She came to America at 
the age of 22 and was married to Andrew JENSEN in 1882.  He died March 11, 1918.

To this union ten children were born, four of whom preceded the mother in death.  
They were Walter and George, who died in infancy; Huldah, Mrs. Joe PINNEY; and 
Eva, Mrs. Herman KNUTSON.

The living children are:  Mrs. Arlo MONK, Parker, S. Dak; George JENSEN, 
Brainerd, Minn.; Mrs. Raymond SWENSON, Viborg; Roy JENSEN, Brainerd; Mrs.

Mrs. JENSEN also leaves to remember her, two brothers: P. C. CHRISTENSEN, Irene, 
S. Dak. and C. P. CHRISTENSEN, Irene, S. Dak. and 17 grandchildren and 4 great 
grand-children.

Mr. and Mrs. JENSEN moved to Leader, Minn. in 1902 where they farmed until the 
death of Mr. JENSEN.  At that time Mrs. JENSEN came back to Viborg to live.  She 
made her home here up to the time of her death which came at the age of 83 
years, 11 months, 16 days.

Mrs. JENSEN will be remembered for her kindness in nursing many folks through 
times of sickness.  She was a member of the First Baptist Church of Viborg, and 
was a loyal supporter of the church in her prayers, service and faithful and 
regular attendance.
