Marie Amelia Jorgansen was born in Hyde Park, Utah on 14 January 1884; a daughter of Carl Christian Jorgansen and Charlotte Amelia Petersen. Marie was the eighth child, the second daughter. Her only sister died when she was one month old. Marie grew up with seven brothers.
Marie grew up in Hyde Park. She attended school there and also attended church there. When she was eight years old she was baptized. This was 02 March 1892.
One time as a little girl her brothers sent her to the root cellar. They told her the Indians were coming. She was so frightened she stayed down there for what seem like a long time. The boys in the mean time went out in the raspberry patch and smeared raspberry juice all over their hands and faces. They let her out of the cellar and told her the Indians got them. These brothers were always trying to scare her. They also loved to tease her.
Her brother Joseph introduced her to his good friend Fred Jensen. They were very good friends and finally they fell in love and got married. They were married 11 October 1905 in the Logan LDS Temple.
They lived in Hyde Park for a short time. They lived up above the reservoir in a small house. Their first son, Fred Carlos was born there. They decided to move the house to a level spot down the hill a ways. They hooked on the house with two teams of horses. One team to pull it down, the other team to hold it back so it wouldn't come down fast. They finally got it down and they were here for just a short time when they decided to move to Rexburg, Idaho. Fred's brother James and his family and his sister, "Ricca" and her family all settled there with Fred, Marie and little Fred, their son. They moved from there to Coltman, Idaho. This is where their second son, Floyd was born.
They moved back to Hyde Park where they bought five acres of land and a 20 acre dry farm. Eva Mary and Delma were born at Hyde Park.
Before Wesley was born, Mother went out to gather some sagebrush to burn. She scratched her leg on some sagebrush. The sore never healed. She still worked hard and kept a clean home. Sometimes she used a chair without a back on it for a crutch. She even hoed in her garden using the chair for a crutch.
Mother baked bread nearly every day. Sometimes she would take piece of bread and make slap jacks on the top of the stove. Her family really loved these. When the family couldn't afford butter, they used bacon grease on their bread for butter.
Mom was quite the trickster. On April fool's Day she would trick her family by putting salt in the sugar bowl and vice versa. One time after Eva and Bill got married; Mom boiled a bunch of eggs. Bill loved boiled eggs and always reached for the top egg. Well, Mother took one egg before boiling them, blew out the insides and filled it with water. She put wax over the end to hold the water in. She put this egg on the top of the bowl of eggs. Bill took the top egg, laid it on his plate and hit it with his knife. He got soaked, water flew all over him.
Fred loved powdered sugar. He would get the bag, stick his spoon in and come out with a spoon full to eat. Mother cured him. She put baking soda in the sugar bag and took out the sugar. Fred reached in for a spoon full and put it in his mouth. He really pulled faces and spit.
Delma loved raisins, so Mother bought a new mouse trap, set it and put it in the bag of raisins. When Delma reached in to get some raisins, her fingers got caught in the mouse trap. She was careful after that when she wanted raisins.
Dad and Mother had a dry farm up in Treasurton with a log cabin on it. The family would leave Hyde Park early in the morning in a wagon and get nearly to Preston, Idaho where they would stop for lunch and to water the horses. It would take them all day to get to Treasureton, sometimes arriving way after dark.
Mother loved to crochet. She made many doilies, scarves, baby sweaters, bonnets and booties, plus many more things. These things she gave away. Very rarely did she keep them. Her family and friends really loved her beautiful work.
