Boline Petrine Jensen was born in Langeland, Denmark, Oct. 10, 1865, and died Feb. 18, 1920. She came to this country during the summer of 1887, and has lived in Osage ever since with the exception of two years spent in North Dakota.

She was married to W. P. Wright in 1889. To this union were born ten sons and one daughter, Ella, who died in infancy. One of the sons, Sam Adolphus, died ten years ago, at the age of 17. Three of her sons served during the recent war and all nine were present at the funeral.

Mrs. Wright was a good woman and a loved mother as was testified by the grief of her sons, who came many miles to be at the funeral. One of the boys, Albert is still in the service and stationed in California. She was buried in the Osage cemetery with other relatives.
