  HISTORICAL SKETCH OF JAMES PETER JENSEN James Peter Jensen was born 15 November in 1864 in Aalborg, Denmark. He was the son of Thomas Christian and Ane Marie Jensen. His father's occupation consisted of laying streets of bricks and digging wells. The entire Jensen Family was converted and baptized members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints while in Denmark. Of course, they wanted to come to Utah, but being very poor, they could not all come at the same time. Ane Marie's mother, Maren Anderson was the first to have the opportunity to gather with the Saints in Utah and was able to come about 1874. Two years later Ane Marie's turn came. She brought four small children, James Peter, Mary, Hannah and Jacob Willardsen (son from first marriage) with her. They were on the ocean for six weeks and because they were traveling as cheaply as possible all the food they had were scraps the ships cool gave them. This proved to be a very difficult time for them because there was very little food and none of them could speak English, the language used on the ship. Two years later Thomas Christian was able to save enough money to get his passage and again be united with his family. When they arrived in Utah the first settled in Ephraim, later moving to Redmond and finally to Koosharem. where they managed a mill. It was in Koosharem that James got interested in machinery and the milling business. Because of employment opportunities the family returned to Redmond were lived while James grew to manhood. James now a young adult, met a young lady named Elvina C. Orting Nebel (or Nebel Orting). The author was unable to find the circumstances surrounding their meeting, however, it is known that she was working in Salt Lake City at the time. Very little is known about her life before her marriage to James. They were married on 13 November 1887, at Manti, Utah. This union was later solomized in the Manti Temple on 14 November 1894, the day before James thirtieth birthday. The young couple selected Koosharem as the place to make their home. Life was not easy for the little family. They lived in a small log room with a lean-to used as a kitchen. There was noelecrticity, their only light was a dish with mutton tallow and a piece of cloth used as a wick. Admid these humble surroundings they had their first five children, Peter Leslie, Clyde Ezra, Zao Elvina, Celsta Marie, and Eulida Pearl. Running water??yes Elvina had to carry all the water needed for her family about two city blocks. Many times she did this with a baby in her arms and another child holding on to her skirts. When she was in bed with a new baby James would bring an old wooden bench to the bedside, place a galvanized tub and a scrub board on the bench with water and a bar of homemade soap. Here she would do the baby's laundry while James was in the fields. James had to farm in a most primitive way. Because of this his farm was not really productive, He supplemented his family's food by trapping game and catching fish at Fish Lake in Sevier County. He would bring this food home, the fish by the barrel full and clean them, cure them in salt and smoke them for the family to eat during times when he was unable to find fresh food. James also raised pigs that he prepared in the same way for winter food.
