Julius Jensen

Julius Jensen was the son of Mary Sophia Christensen and Hans Jensen. Julius married Vilate Goodrich November 20, 1901.

Their first six children were born in Vernal where Julius worked in the saddle and harness business for Newton Brothers and his brothers Richard Jensen.

Earl, Laurence, Clyde, Merle and Ralph all arrived before the family moved to Duchesne, Utah, then known as Theodore.

Julius homesteaded north of town on the Duchesne River. Later they moved into a log cabin house which stood on the place where the high school is located. Julius operated a shoe repair shop. Four more children were born: Lloyd, Carl, Beth and Lenore. Three of Vilate's children died in childhood. They were Laurence, Ralph and Carl.

After several years Julius moved his family to Soldier Summit where he also operated a shoe repair business. This venture didn't prove too profitable as Vilate's health wasn't very good in such a high altitude. After a few years she decided to go back to Vernal.

Her brother-in-law George A. Slaugh moved her and her children in 1929. Vilate bought a small lot located at 155 South 2nd East and had her mother's house moved from Naples to the new location. Her mother had died the year before on May 22, 1928.

Vilate and Julius were soon divorced.

Children: Earl Frost Jensen, Lawrence Leroy Jensen, Lucy Jensen Martin, Clyde Raymond Jensen, Elda Merle Jensen Siddoway, Ralph Goodrich Jensen, Lloyd Jesse Jensen, Carl Leonard Jensen , Ruby Beth Jensen Hansen Dougal and Wilma Lenore Jensen Samuels
