Karen "Marie" (Kirk) Jasper, 83
Mother: Else {Jacobsen} Kirk
Sister: Mayron (Maren) Kirk
Karen Marie was born July 25, 1874 to Christian Jensen and Elsie (Jacobsen) Kirk in Hassing, Denmark. She was baptized at Skyum Parish, Hassing Herred, Thisted Amt, Denmark on Oct 23, 1874. The 1880 Danish Census lists the family as living in Østerbakke.
The family purchased Indirekte Ticket Contract # 444200 in Denmark on 18 June 1881 and arrived in New York on 14 July 1881 on board the S.S. Batavia (departed from Liverpool, England). Family members included her parents, Christen (48) & Else (35), and their children [Mette (17), Karen (10), Christine (8), Marie (5), Jacob (4) & Maren (2)].
The 1885 Nebraska State Census lists her parents, C. J. (52) & Elsie (51), plus children [Carrie {aka Karen} (14), Christine (12), Mary {aka Marie} (9), Jacob (8) & Margaret {aka Maren} (6) - all born in Denmark, and Anna (3) and Krist (2 months) - both born in Nebraska] living in Lincoln Township, Kearney County, Nebraska.
Marie married Albert Jasper on 17 Jul 1899 in Sebastian, Arkansas. In 1900 they lived in Galveston, Texas. The 1920 US Federal Census lists Marie Jasper living with her mother, Elsie Kirk, in Omaha, Nebraska with an occupation of Dressmaker. The 1930 Census lists Mary Jasper living in Omaha and her occupation was Seamstress. Two U.S. City Directories, 1942 and 1954, list her as a Widow living in Omaha.
She died in March 1958, at the age of 83 and was buried on March 28, 1958.

From additional note about gravesite by FindaGrave photographer Larry:
I got the Grave numbers from the Springwell directory. But I am not satisfied.
The drawn-on photo is a pic of Lot #139 N 1/2. The stone to the left is (far side, l-r) John Nielsen Espegren Lot #139 S 1/2 #8 and Anna Espegren S 1/2 #7. AND -same stone- (near side, l-r) Oscar Espegren S 1/2 #4 and Albert/Alfred Espegren S 1/2 #3. The two stones are so far apart that I wonder if Elsie's is misplaced, i.e. on Maren/Mayron's grave?? Elsie and Albert SHOULD be right next to each other.
Perhaps the numbering of the graves is different, though I checked with the on-site directory--Larry
