Matilda is the daughter of Peder Jensen and Anna Hedevig Maria Malling. Her first marriage was to Lars Alexander Justesen, in Spring City, Sanpete County 1857. They had 1 son and 4 daughters. Alexander was tragically killed by Indians in 1868 while trying to help re-open the area of Alma (Monroe)which they had been forced out previously because of Indian hostilities. This left poor Matilda with 4 young daugthers to take care of on her own. (Her firstborn, Don Carlos only lived a couple of months.)A year later in 1869 Matilda became the 2nd wife of her sister-in-law's husband Frederick Olsen. To this union were born 6 more children. (It is debatable whether there were 6 or 7. There are 2 Matilda's listed as being born to Matilda and Frederick; Matilda Jensine and Matilda Anenna. Both have conflicting birth and death data. So whether they are the same or different remains to be seen.)

Inscription


Dearest mother, thou has left us, a voice we love is stilled. A place is vacant in our home, Which never can be filled.
