2. From C. Kent Jensen April 08, 2002: "In answer to your question about my tie in with the Lockwoods, I offer the following. I am the only surviving son of Charles Henry Jensen and Golda Jaunita Myers. Dad was the eleventh child of Mariah Josephine Hales and Anders Jensen. Mariah Josephine Hales, or "Josie," was the daughter of Julia Ann Lockwood and Charles Henry Hales. You may be interested to know that Anders Jensen's father was Jorgen Jensen, a fairly well-to-do farmer in Denmark who joined the Church in Denmark and emigrated to America, obtained his covered wagon and ox team and began the journey to Utah. He became ill and the records show that he died and was buried "along the Platte River in Wyoming." His widow, Anna Marie Madsen, was instructed by the wagon master to marry a bachelor who was traveling with the same train, which she did, so he could take care of her and her young children. Talk about sacrifice and courage! My Great Step-Grandfather was Christian Christiansen who was a good husband to Anna Marie and a good father to her children. Perhaps you can understand, at least in part, how badly I wanted to participate in the Sesquicentennial Wagon Train that journeyed from Nauvoo to Salt Lake City in 1997 and finish the journey for my Great Grandfather, Jorgen Jensen! The saying probably isn't original with me, but I told Ruth: You have to take care of the living before you can honor the dead. My mother was living with us at the time and her needs were such that it would have been totally unfair to Ruth to leave her alone with Mother for three months. Joining that wagon train was one of the great desires of my life that wasn't fulfilled. I do not resent having missed that chance - it's just the way things worked out. Well, so much for that."
