Death of Mrs. Inger Jenson.

It was with the deepest regret that the friends of Mrs. Inger, wife of Hans Jenson, learned of her death which occurred last Saturday at their beautiful farm home in Osakis township. Deceased has been in poor health for several months and the end was hastened by injuries sustained from a fall down stairs last summer. Mrs. Jenson was 56 years of age and the mother of nine children, four boys and five girls, all of whom are living. She was a quiet, unassuming, lovable woman and was held in the highest esteem by her neighbors on account of her genial disposition and true womanly virtues. The funeral was held Tuesday from the Nelson Danish Lutheran church, Rev. M. C. H. Rohe, conducting the service. The burial was made in the Nelson cemetery. The REVIEW unites with all Osakisites in extending to the sorely afflicted family the deepest sympathy.

Inger on the 1850 census in Denmark. She is living on the island of Sjælland, the area called Præsto, Stevns, Hellested parish, at a farm called Hellested Bye.
from the information I have, Lars Larsen must be the stepfather, since her actual father is named Søren Madsen. The name of the mother matches my records. Ellen Rasmusdatter. Lars Larsen, the two year old, is a younger half brother. They are all born in Hellested, but not the parents. As for the people listed after little Lars, they are noted as workers. Could be related, or not.

The person who posted this is related through the first wife I assume.
