IN MEMORY OF
CHRIS JENSEN
by GoNIUs LAURsEN

The sad news Is just now being
flashed over this community that
Chris Jensen is dead,
What a shock and loss FOR all
Of us who were fortunate enough
TO be his friends, and | am glad
10 say that we are many, But
what a shock and loss IL must be
10 his wife and children.
Only a short week ago we were
together with him, celebrating the
10th birthday Of Mad strandslov
Chris wasn't feeling so well, but
he still was his old jolly self and
the life Of the party,
Chris Jensen and family were
the pioneers Of this community,
moving here from Iowa IN the
spring Of 1907 They have been
living on the old homestead ever
since, but now he has passed on
to his eternal homestead al the
age Of eg,
A tfuef friend than Chris could
not exist, lie never deserted you
even II lie didn't always agree with
you, and often he didn't, lie was
a wide=awalte man on all vital
questions and a true fighter for
what he thought was right,
Chris has been a leading spirit
in every one Of the many under
taitings Of the Degmar community,
be Il school, church or cooperative
undertakings, He has left his
mark on them ail, II there was
q fight for relief, or a demenstra=
tien IN pleftywoed, Chris was al
ways there II he possibly could II
Is not only the Dagmar eommun-
ity that has lost q true friend, but
everyone ia the county who has
been ia need Of someone to put
up a fight for them, Chris pos
sessed a true Viking spirit,
So we are many, indeed, who
want to assure his wife and chill
dren Of our deep felt sympathy
in their hour Of great loss and ser-
row,
Funeral Last Monday
The funeral took place last Mon
day afternoon al the Dagmaf
Lutheran church. At elast 200
people, friends and neighbora from
all over the county, took part, Few
times have more people attended
a funeral az Daemar,
A huge amount Of flowers were
laid down az his coffin as a token
Of friendship and esteem, six Of
