DEATH OF MRS. J. C. JENSEN
After an illness of three weeks, Mrs. J. C. Jensen passed away from this life to that other land of greater promise. Her death occurred Sunday morning, January 29. Mrs. Jensen leaves a husband and nine children to mourn her loss.

The funeral services were held at the family residence in this city and were conducted by Rev. Feeble of Bath, and the body was consigned to a grave in Riverside cemetery.

Mrs. Jensen was 37 years of age at the time of her death, and was born at Howardsville, Illinois, February 9, 1862. She was married while quite young in 1882. She leaves a young baby, but three weeks old and her death is indeed a great blow to the husband and family. Her parents, Mr. and Mrs. O. F. Kelly, are residents of this city. Mr. Jensen is the baggageman at the Northwestern depot.
