RITES HELD FOR JENSEN AT OAKDALE CHAPEL
"At a very sad but yet beautiful and impressive service at Oakdale Chapel last Sunday afternoon the last respects were paid to William Jensen, who died after an accident on Thursday, October 14, 1920. Mr. Jensen was 42 years of age and was born in Cushing, Wis. At the chapel the choir sang during the service and Mrs. Nelson and Mildred Arnold sang a duet. Rev. Nelson gave a splendid talk on Mr. Jensen's life and finished with a sermon which must have brought peace to the aching hearts. Oakdale Chapel was crowed as it has not been for many a day. The many friends and relatives who came to the service by their presence were a glorious tribute to a man who was ever kind, willing and true both in little as well as in great things."31

Newspaper clipping:
IN MEMORIAM
"IN LOVING MEMORY of our dear husband and father, William Jensen, who died one sad year ago today, October 14, 1920.
He bid no one a last farewell,
He said goodbye to none;
His loving heart had ceased to beat
Before we knew he was gone.
He is gone, but not forgotten
By the ones he loved so well;
May God award him day by day
And bring comfort to his resting sole.
Mrs. William Jensen, Eleanor and Harvey Jensen"31
