  When the angel of death entered the home of Peter C. Jensen and called the father, a home was left desolate and the community was robbed of one of its most stalwart citizens. Mr. Jensen was operated upon Tuesday of last week for appeudlcitis and a complication of troubles from which he had been a sufferer for many years. He progressed nicely for the first few days but his body had become so weakened by the years of suffering which be had passed thru that he had no vitality to back him up In his fight for life and on Saturday a change came which Indicated that the sick man was growing weaker. This continued until Monday afternoon and he was removed from the hospital to his home - in the hope that the change would prove beneficial and the home Influences would act as a stlmulous but he continued to sink until the end came about 8 oclock. Peter C. Jensen was born in Brigham City August 30, 1861 and was the son of the late Bishop Peter Jensen of Mantua. When be was four years of age his parents removed to Mantua where he grew to manhood and spent the greater part of his life. His falth-er was manager of the Co-op store there and when the son grew to young manhood, he was Installed as manager to succeed his father. This was before Mr. Jnsen was married, that event occuring in 1881 when he led Miss Amelia Keller to the altar. A more devoted pair never lived togther than did Peter C. Jensen and his good yife., They had troubles a plenty too, for 11 children were born to them and eight out of the eleven preceded their father and mother to the other side. As climax to this long list of sad experiences the wife and mother was called home In January 1909. Since that time Mr. Jensen has been a changed man and tho surrounded by affectionate children he seemed unable to recover from the great loss which he sustained. These things coupled with bodily ailments made his cup of sorrow full and running over and yet withal he was a man of genial disposition and always greeted his acquain-tences with a pleasant smile and a kind word. Since the death of his wife he lived for his children, two of whom are unmarried and their every want was anticipated and granted. In return his daughters lavished their love and affection upon their father and did all in their power to bring sunshine Into his home, and It was a most happy home despite the troubles that had torn It In the past While a resident of Mantua, Mr Jensen served as assistant superintendent In the Sunday School and then was superintendent for a period of 8 years. He had to give up his labors in that capacity in 1900 and went to California with his family In the hope that his health might be restored. For a year they lived at San Diego and during that time Mr. Jensen gave his services to the branch of the ohurch at that place and labored la connection with the Missionaries to spread the gospel which he had a testimony of. Returning home in 1901, the family resided at Mantua until 1906 when they moved to Brigham City. Mr. Jensen was road supervisor at Mantua for a season and was called from there to perform home missionary work throughout the western part of this county. - Upon his removal to this city, his activities did not cease for he was made a ward teacher in the First ward and upon the death of Bishop McMaster, who was a member of the City Council at the time, Mr. Jensen was appointed to succeed him and fill the unexplred term which he did with honor and integrity. He was also made a member of the Box Elder Stake Religion Class Board and served faithfully In that position until the time of his death. Mr. Jensen was an honest man in all that the word Implies. Frugal, wise in his dealings, yet generous and most kind hearted, he was a man whose influence was' for good whenever it was felt. By his Judicious labors In a commercial way, he succeeded in providing himself and family with sufficient means so that he was not compelled to labor hard during the later years when his health became so poor. In his passing, a good man has gone to rest and the world has been made better by his having lived in it Universal sympathy goes; out to his daughters Eulalia and Verda who were wrapt up in their father and in whose love and tender affection they basked. The sunshine has all bat gone out of their lives and only the Unseen Power can heal the wound that has been made by the taking of their father and protector. Another daughter, Mrs. Maud Hansen, and several grand children survive Mr. Jensen. Funeral services are being held this afternoon at 1 o'clock in the First ward chapel.
