Andrew Jensen, son of Hans Christian Jensen was born in Denmark and immigrated to Utah where he met and married Annie Nielson who had also been born in Denmark. They resided in Utah for a short time and then the Jensen family consisting of the father, Hans C. Jensen, sons, James, Carl, Andrew, Peter, their wives and children and the only daughter, Hannah, decided to try their fortunes in a new land. So, in the spring of 1897 they started for Canada with five covered wagons, arriving in Cardston July 9th, 1897.
Andrew and Annie Jensen then had three small children, the baby being only three weeks old. They found some land, three miles southwest of Aetna that they could homestead, so Andrew filed on the SW 1/4 -10-2-25-W4. The other brothers were on adjoining quarters close by. This presented the opportunity to build their homes together. This was done by getting logs from the mountain area 25 miles southwest of Cardston, then the logs were cut and built into a home for each family. In this log cabin four more children were born to the family. One baby girl died of pneumonia and was buried in the Aetna cemetery.
In 1903 Andrew bought a ten acre lot in the village of Aetna, and here he built a larger log house to accommodate the growing family. Four more children were born, making 11 children in all. As time passed more rooms were added to the house and they lived there for 36 years. Andrew had acquired another half-section of land to carry on his farming operations, sufficiently to raise a large family. He raised mostly grain, but he also had cows, chickens, and pigs. Farming was all done with horses. He and his brothers purchased a large threshing outfit and later he became the sole owner. Andrew was a good blacksmith as well.
During World War 1, two of Andrew's sons, Einar and Leonard returned home safely from their army service. The family became ill with influenza in November 1918. The quarantined themselves, some were quite ill, but all recovered. Then in January 1919 it became a serious epidemic and the family, being about the only well people in town, became involved in helping take care of the seriously ill people.
During his residence in Aetna, Andrew served in many responsible positions for his church being Bishop for 13 years. He was called on a full-time mission to Regina, Saskatchewan. He served on the School Board in Aetna for several terms and was active in welfare work and many civic projects that were of benefit to the area.
Annie, besides doing the usual labors of a farmer's wife and of a mother, served as mid-wife for the community and district. Many women were helped at the time of the birth of their children or for any other illness. "Aunt Annie" as she was affectionately known, was a practical nurse and for 35 years helped families in every kind of sickness or accident. She worked closely with the doctors in Cardston, and more particularly with Dr. J. K. Mulloy who was very considerate of the rural population. She was also Relief Society president and aided in all the other organizations of her church. She was loved by all who knew her for her generosity and helpful service.
In 1939 Andrew sold the farm to one of his sons, Harold and lived in a modest home in Cardston after living in Aetna for 42 years. He helped his sons and relatives build their homes as well as many others. He was a carpenter and a handy-man.
Annie passed away suddenly May 19, 1966 at the age of 94 years. Andrew died almost a year later, 14 Apr 1967 and was in his 99th year.
Their children were: Myrtle (md Leith Johnson); Einar (md Lenore Tanner and after she passed away md Myrle Anderson); Leonard ( died at the age 28); Heber (md Hattie Baker); Vera (md Dill Lee); Hazel (died in infancy); Harold (md Ruth Ellison); Una (md Dahl Caldwell); Elmer (md Ava Forsyth); Wesley (md Hazel Matkin); and Grant (md Wanda Borchers McLean).
