Hans Jensen, 48, of Wallingford, was stricken with a heart attack July 4 while pitching horseshoes with relatives at a family gathering. He was taken to Holy Family hospital where he suffered a second heart attack, passing away at 3:00 p.m. He apparently had been in excellent health. He was born in Denmark in 1900 and came to the United states as a young man. He was married to Flossie Schenck, daughter of L. B. Schenck, of Wallingford. He is survived by his wife and by a daughter, Effie June, aged 14. The funeral was held this (Thursday) afternoon at the farm home and at the Methodist church, Estherville. The sympathy of the community is extended to Mrs. Jensen and daughter in their sorrow. (Graettinger Times, Graettinger, IA, July 7, 1949)
