Descendants of Jens Christian JENSEN (1822-1876)

1. Jens Christian Jensen,¹ ² ³ ⁴ son of Jens Jensen Fjeldrad and Johanne Marie Christensdatter,⁵ was born on 11 Apr 1822 in Ørsø, Dronninglund Sogn (Brønderslev), Nordjylland, Denmark,^⁶ was christened on 12 Apr 1822 in Ørsø, Dronninglund Sogn (Brønderslev), Nordjylland, Denmark,^⁷ died on 21 Feb 1876 in <Hov>, Hals Sogn, (Aalborg), Nordjylland, Denmark^⁸ at age 53, and was buried on 29 Feb 1876 in <Hals Kirkegaard, Hals>, (Aalborg), Nordjylland, Denmark. Another name for Jens was Jens Christian Jensen Ørsøe.

Christening Notes: Jens Chr. born the 11 apr., 1822, baptized at home the 12 Apr., son of Jens Jensen Fjelrad ejer (owner) of Kobber Vandmølle (Water-mill) and wife Johanne Marie Christensdatter, Ørsøe - Godfathers and - mothers: Anne Christensdatter Tveddegaard, Johanne Marie Poulsdatter, Ørsøe, Christen Mikkelsen, Store Fælden, Jens Christian Mikkelsens datter, Ørsøe og Knud Christensen, Ørsøe Mølle.

Death Notes: A translation of the death notice from his widow Ane Cathrine published in the Aalborg Stiftstidende on 24 and 25 February 1876:
Announcement
That my dear, loved husband, my 11 children loved father (the loved father of my 11 children), Dannebrogsmand Jens Christian Jensen, is passed away the 21 Feb. Announced herewith of his deep bereaved widow and children. - The funeral will take place from the home Tuesday the 29 Feb. at 1o'clock.
Hou Skov (Wood), the 22 Feb. 1876
Ane Cathrine Jensen,
Born Hansen

Burial Notes: It is the opinion of Finn H. Thomsen that Jens Christian was buried in the Hals Church cemetery.

Research Notes: From Donald M. Johnson's letter 23 July 1972 to his sister Alice (Johnson) Hickerson:
Dronninglund Church (old castle church) records for 1851 contain: "Married on June 20, 1851, at three o'clock, the bachelor Jens Christian Jensen of Dorf, 29 years, and the girl, Ane Cathrine Hansdatter of Asaa, 21 years. Sponsors: Lars Sorensen and Lars Peter Nielsen of Asaa." Records exist showing that family bought a house (No. 4 f of Hou) at Hou, Hals Parish, Kjaer District, on June 11, 1866. Hou and Hov are the same place.
---
Note: In 2011, the current researcher inadvertently misidentified Jens Christian Jensen as the man of the same name born on 21 Oct 1821 in Bolle, christened on 28 Oct 1821. That Jens Christian's parents were Jens Hansen Smed and Christiane Jensdatter. Please do not make that same mistake.

Subsequently, in 2017, Mr. Thomsen mistakenly identified his parents as Jens Jensen and Mette Nielsdatter, with a birthdate and place for Jens Christian of 23 Dec 1821 in Asaa. A rough translation of notes provided by Finn H. Thomsen on 24 Sep 2017:
"1821 - Born the 23 Dec. in Asaae Bye [Asaa town], Dronninglund parish, baptized the same day 23 Dec., son of lodger Jens Jensen and Mette Nielsdatter. Godparents: Anna Larsdatter from the farm "Knirren" in West Melholt, Johanne Marie Pousdatter, Ørsøe, Hans Rasmussen, Godiks Pedersen from Ørsøe and Mads Jensen from Skrydsholt." Mr. Thomsen obtained this information from the Dunninglund church records for 1813-1829, bulletin 105. This, however, is also a different person.

Mr. Thomsen's further research in 2017 revealed that our family's Jen Christian Jensen, Dannesbrogsmand (see the death announcement by his widow), was born 11 Apr 1822 in Ørsø, as is presented here. The deciding element was the fact that Jens Christian was living in Dorf at the time of his marriage. Only one of the three candidates was in Dorf in 1851. In addition, that same man was honored with the title Dannesbrogsmand after his service in the war against Germany. His widow gave him that title in her published announcement of his death.

General Notes: Grandson DeWayne B. Johnson wrote about his grandmother Mary B. Jensen Johnson thus on 8/17/1986:

"I have a darker image of my father's father [than his memory of his Talbot grandparents], both dark and dim. He died when I was 9 but I truly can't say I remember him remotely well. Grandmother Johnson was a sterner figure, in my memory, than Grandmother Talbot. I feel now that what I did as a boy often seemed to displease her. I know I was supposed to care for her but I am not at all sure that I did.

"As with Grandparents Talbot, we also visited those grandparents but I cannot conjure up a good image of their home except for a romanticized notion of Tiffany=-type lamps; etched-glass front, side and back doors; screened porch for summertime sleeping and that's about it."

Bodil married John Jacob Johnson,¹ ² ⁴⁶ ⁵² son of Lauritz Jørgensen ⁵³ and Anna Dorothea Caroline Caspersen,¹ on 22 Dec 1883 in <Wauneta>, Nebraska, United States. John was born on 15 Aug 1854 in Bov (Bau), Aabenraa, Sønderjylland (Schleswig-Holstein), Denmark, was christened on 27 Aug 1854 in Bov (Bau), Schlesvig, Denmark, died on 29 Sep 1929 in Fort Dodge, Webster, Iowa, United States^⁵⁴ at age 75, and was buried in Union Cemetery, Humboldt, Humboldt, Iowa, United States.^⁵⁵ Other names for John were George J. Johnson, J. J. Johnson, and Jorgen Jacob Jorgensen.

Birth Notes: 1900 Census has John J Johnson and his parents born in Germany. Mary reported born in Denmark. Census has born August 1844, which differs from the obituary. His obituary has his birthdate as 15 August 1854. Mark Johnson has a source with 27 August 1854. It is my guess that 27 August 1854 was the date of his christening.

Obituary says "Bau, Denmark," but there is no such place. However, "Bau" is the German for Bov in Sonderjylland (South Jutland) county on the Jutland peninsula in south Denmark. The main town is Padborg. Since Bau/Bov was held by Germany from 1864 to 1920, that explains the discrepancy. Bov was Danish at the time John Jacob was born.

The city of Bov (German Bau) in the area of Flensborg in Denmark was the site of the Battle of Bov, which began the First Schleswig War on 9 April 1848. Schleswig-Holstein was trying to separate from Denmark. Danish troops defeated a combined force of German, Austrian and Prussian troops. The First Schleswig War lasted from 1848 through 1851, resulting in a Danish victory. The Second Schleswig War erupted on 1 February 1864, when Prussian forces crossed the border into Schleswig. That war ended on 30 October 1864, when Denmark ceded the duchies of Schleswig, Holstein and Saxe-Lauenburg to Prussia and Austria. The Schleswig Plebiscites in 1919 and 1920 resulted in the return of the Aabenraa district to Denmark.

Death Notes: Died in St Marys Hospital in Fort Dodge. His residence was in Paton, Iowa. He was a retired farmer at the time of his death. The handwritten notes on his death certificate are difficult to decipher. The best guess is that he was in the hospital from 25 Sept 1929 to 29 Sept 1929, with death about 8:50 p.m. Exploratory surgery had been conducted on 28 Sept 1929. The immediate cause of death was shock due to surgery after attempting relief from an obstruction having to do with his liver (?). A contributory cause was "carcinonotisis."

His death certificate gives his parents' names as Lauretz Johnson (b. Denmark) and Carloine Casperson (b. Germany). The informant was Wm. J. Johnson [his son] of Plover, Ia.

Death Notes: From obituary in Newman Grove, Nebraska, newspaper: "The community was shocked and saddened Friday morning by the news of the sudden death of Alex Johnson while he was visiting relatives at North Platte. Mr. and Mrs. Johnson and family left here on Saturday, May 24 for a visit with her sister and her family at North Platte. On Thursday Mr. Johnson was taken very sick with ptomanine [sic] poisoning. A physician was called and he began to improve. Friday morning he was able to be up, but complained of a headache and was lying down. Mrs. Johnson had gone to another room to get some medicine for his headache and was gone only a very short time but when she returned he had passed away. Physicians were called, but could do nothing, death being due to a sudden heart attack."

General Notes: Occupation: Carpenter. From obituary in Newman Grove, Nebraska newspaper: "...They established their home in Newman Grove [in 1912] and have resided her continuously ever since. During these years he has built many of the buildings in both the town and vicinity and was considered a thorough conscientious workman, of pleasant and kindly disposition of whom only good was spoken."

From DeWayne B. Johnson's book "I Have Met a Lot of Generals," 2007:

"(The 'L' in my father's name was not an initial because that was the 'name' and hence takes no period.)...

"Today the mini-park near downtown [Newman Grove] includes the bandstand where my father played oboe in the town band...

"That is the man I tagged along with to his woodshop down near the granary. From that woodshop I still smell the gragrant homemade glues in their heating pots, I see the wood grains from rare specimens that went into carefully crafted table tops, bowls, cabinetry, and hear the scrabbling of tiny rodent feet fleeing for cover when the doors we opened.

"I tagged along as he walked the streets in town, greeted heartily by everyone he met. I know now that as a carpenter he built many of the buildings, homes, in town and surrounding vicinities."

DeWayne B. Johnson wrote of him on 8/17/1986:

"His hands were heavily wrinkled, tanned, scarred; his fingernails were ragged and never seemed quite rid of the residue of the day's labors. The brown, blood-clot areas under the nails were evidence of the beating the hands took as he hammered, pried, used his sinewy strength to build homes, schools, churches, and his artistic touch on fine cabinetry, delicate inlaid wooden trays, a variety of carved or lathe-turned items that would today be labeled 'examples of wood artisans, Early American Primitive to Post-World War I.'

"This carpenter's hands were gentle. To a small boy's hands they were tremendous, warm and snug retreats during proud walks on the streets of Newman Grove, Nebraska, where Alexander L Johnson was known far and wide as 'Alex.' (The 'L' had no period' it stood for nothing. To those who insisted it had to stand for 'something,' a concession was made: Lloyd, or possibly Loyd. One 'L' or two, it made no difference because truly it stood for nothing.

"I remember those hands as he warmly shook hands of others during those prized walks: Alex was clearly loved, respected by everyone, those townfolks with the funny foreign-sounding names...

"It flits through my mind to recall his hands, the dancing fingers as he played the oboe in the town band during its summertime concerts in the park band shell. And the strong, mascuiline right hand and the convincingly feminine left hand as 'Alex' costumed himself half male and half female for some annual celebration and parade down Main Street.

"Alex and his skills were in great demand; it is likely that some of the rural schools he built -- some of them single-handedly -- still stand today in some corners of Nebraska where Alex Johnson has long been forgotten. And Alex Johnson's houses absolutely remain, with their fashionable gingerbread of the time, and the curved staircases with their fancy railings, the hardwood floors, the weighted window sashes, and the trademark cabinetry.

"Alex had a hand in building the brick schools of Newman Grove, primary grads and high school For a short period he even taught wood shop at the high school (probably as a substitute teacher)...

"The lights went out for a 10-year-old boy on a spring day in 1930 when his father died in a farm house at North Platte, Nebraska.

"The bewilderment remains to this day -- one day so much alive, so much enjoying the fishing, the catching, the eating, and the next day quiet whispers, somber tip-toeing so as not to disturb. (The doctor surmised the death was caused by ingesting spoiled fish.) The return to Newman Grove on a bright Sunday morning, the church bells ringing, and still the 10-year-old could not understand."

Research Notes: Middle initial L does not stand for anything. It is simply L without a period. It may not be on his birth certificate.

Excerpts from obituary in Newman Grove weekly newspaper, fully quoted in a letter to daughter Janine Johnson 8/17/1986, p. 4:

Alexander L. Johnson was born in Seward county, Nebraska September 28, 1885 and and passed away at the home of relatives at North Platte May 30, 1930 at the age of 44 years and 8 months.

At the age of 11 he went to Iowa with his parents where he lived for ten years. In 1907 he went to the new town of Polk, Nebraska where he worked at his trade as a carpenter for five years. On february 12, 1912 [actually Feb. 14, Valentine's Day] he was married at Grand Island to Lulu [Lula Mae] Talbot of Polk. They established their home in Newman Grove [occupying the house recently vacated by Conrad Erickson and known forever as 'the Erickson House'] and have resided here continuously ever since. During these years he has built many of the buildings in both the town and vicinity and was considered a thorough, conscientious workman, of pleasant and kindly disposition of whom only good was spoken.

Shriner all of Long Beach, California; William J. of Plover, Iowa; Mrs. Lena Klinge of Curlew, Iowa; Mrs. Dan Urquhart of Rodman, Iowa; Mrs. Oscar Pearson of Paton, Iowa.

Medical Notes: Per DeWayne Johnson 8/17/86: "...my own father died at the North Platte farm house that had been [that of Absolom Owen Talbot, Jr. and his wife Margaret Burrows Talbot]." From obituary in Newman Grove newspaper around 5/31/1930: "Mr. and Mrs. Johnson and family left here on Saturday, May 24 for a visit with her sister and her family at North Platte. On Thursday Mr. Johnson was taken very sick with ptomanine [sic][ poisoning. A physician was called and he began to improve. Friday morning he was able to be up, but complained of a headache and was lying down. Mrs. Johnson had gone to another room to get some medicine for his headache and was gone only a very short time but when she returned he had passed away. Physicians were called, but could do nothing, death being due to a sudden heart attack."

General Notes: From DeWayne B. Johnson's book "I Have Met a Lot of Generals," 2007:

Big brother Cliff was an eagle scout and knew 'everything.' He taught DeWayne, five years his junior, how to tell time. He shoed him the ropes, literally, in swinging from a cable attached to a high limb and jumping what seemed to be great distances from the high bank into the side yard of the frame house recently built by father, Alex. And typing of knows, Boy Scout style. Club house secrets in the musty storm cellar well-stocked with canned fruits and vegetables. Shelves of home brew: Rood beer! An open door to friends. In particular Cliff knew how to bury potatoes in a hollow in the ground, cover them with rocks, which in turn are covered with fragrant brush, dried leaves, heavier sticks to create larger embers..."

----------
From DeWayne B. Johnson on 15 Jun 2010:

I think my nickname "Doc" dates back at least 75 years, perhaps to 1935. I was 15 years old. My older brother Clifford and I worked on my uncle's (George M. Talbot Dairy) dairy ranch in Burbank. Neither of us milked cows but we did almost everything else -- washing bottles, pasteurizing and bottling milk, churning of buttermilk, pitching hay, mucking out the muck, and much more. Clifford called me "Doc" and I called him "Joe." Uncle George had a hay ranch out east (?) of Lancaster and pasture land down near Irvine. I rode mules and horses in the course of my work. Fell off more than once, brushed off by low-hanging branches. Otherwise, I am no horseman!

Clifford's nickname never stuck, but mine remained with me even up to today! I earned a real doctorate at UCLA in mass communications and education in 1955. Throughout my professional career as a journalist and professor of journalism, my colleagues and students have hailed me as "Doc." They still do. It feels good to be one of them and not an outsider!

I run the risk of bragging a bit -- two Pulitzer Prizes with a select few on the LATimes editorial staff, and twice honored by the California Publishers Association as THE outstanding professor of journalism in the state of California. (Oh, I am shameless!) So I may be something of a legend, my ego says, but that truly remains to be seen.
