Jens Peterson (sic), about 59, died suddenly about 6 o'clock Monday evening in the yard at his home in Ruskin. He had just driven the tractor into the yard and collapsed as he got to the ground. He has had heart trouble for a number of years and under a physicians care for much of this time. He is survived by his wife, a son, Magnus, at home; and two daughters, Mrs. Carla Jensen of Ruskin, and Sarah of Omaha. Another son preceded him in death. Funeral arrangements are still pending.
