Last rites were held for another
Askov resident Sunday afternoon when
Mrs. A. p. Jensen was laid to rest
Death came to her at a. m. Friday
at her farm home north of Askov
Mrs. Jensen had been in impaired
health ever since suffering a para
lytic stroke about eight years ago
Then six months ago she suffered an
other which left her in a weakened
C ndition during whit period she was
confined to her bed much of the time
The direct cause of her death wa-
pneumonia which was brought on by
her weakened condition, leakage OF
the heart and confinement to bed.
Margaret Show was born in Dfn-
mark Sept. %, 1879, and came to tie
United States with her parents III
1882 to settle in SunGown TOWNSHIP
Redwood county. She was married at
that place on Dec. Is. 1898, to A. p.
Jensen and to that union nine chill
dren were born, eight of whom sur
vive with their father. Alice died in
infancy.
Came Here 81 Years Ago.
After their marriage the Jensens
lived in and around Minneapolis for
several years, coming to Askov q
years ago to make their home on
Land purchased two years before by
Mr.. Jensen. On that piece of land
they had with the aid of their willina
family, carved out and built farm
plant second to none in this section
of the county. In this undertaking.
Mrs. Jensen played a very great part,
for she was a home loving woman,
always willing to sacrifice for her
family, and to aid in lettering their
home surroundings. She unselfshly
and quietly gave impetus to her hts
band in his activities both on the
farm and in the community where he
was a trusted leader. Her death,
while being made easier by the knowl-
edge that she had lived her life well,
will leave void in the household
which can never be filed
All of the children were home and
spent some time with their mother
during her last illness and Gladys
came from her home in Colorado tic
assist and be near her mother during
the past two months. This consider
alton made the burden much easier
for both her mother and father.
Mrs. Jensen is survived by the hus-
band and eight children, Mrs. George
Ekberg (Esther), Alvin and Walter
in the home community; Mrs. Noble
Merryfield Ruth) of Willow River;
Mrs. Walter Thomson (Merrian) of
Minneapolis; Mrs. Ted GOodner (Gla-
dys) of Rocky Ford, Colo; Mrs. G.
Kirst (Florence) of st. Paul; and
Dagny at home. Seventeen grand
children are left together with Mrs.
Jensens mother, three sisters and
five brothers.
