OBITUARY

Carl Jensen was born in Maquoketa township, Jackson county, Iowa, on Aug. 15, 1887, and died at his home in Union Center at four o’clock a.m. on Thursday, Nov. 7, 1918, aged 31 years, 2 months and 23 days. He was united in marriage to Mary Elizabeth Haylock at Union Center on Dec. 16, 1914. To this union two dear little daughters were born, Ruby Bell and Margaret Joyce, who with the loving wife and six brothers and four sisters are left to mourn his early passing from a life of much promise.

Of Carl Jensen, it can be said he was a man in every sense, a kind and loving husband and father, a good neighbor and true friend. What more can be said. May he rest in peace. Funeral services were held from the home on Sat., Nov. 9, at 2 p.m. where a large circle of friends gathered for an open air service and paid last early tribute to a departed friend, and expressed their sympathy to the living. The floral tributes were beautiful. Mesdames Wilson and Staack sang consolingly. Burial was made in Mt. Hope Cemetery, Rev. D. F. Boomershine officiating.
