This is a picture of two separate headstones in one picture, that includes 
Charlie Amos & Carrie Bell (nee Phears/Clemons) Jensen's markers.  They were 
married January 3, 1904 in Lee County, TX.  Carrie had been previously married 
to Bryce Hooper, so her name at the time of marriage to Charlie was Carrie 
Hooper. 

Charlie's parents were Peter Christian & Mary Jane (nee Bridges) Jensen.  
Peter was an immigrant from near Copenhagen, Denmark, arriving in New Orleans 
first, and finally Galveston, in 1870.  He made his way from Galveston up to 
Lee County, where there was a large contingent of European immigrants at that 
time.  

Carrie's parents were McDonald Don Phears & Martha Priscilla Clemons, who were 
never married, but had three children together out of wedlock.  Phears was 
married to Mattie's older sister, Elizabeth Ann "Betty" Clemons.

The headstone transcriptions are as follows:
