-Mrs. Hans JENSON presented her husband last week, with an heir of the male persuasion. (1 Apr 1886)-BOY LOST - Wednesday, October 7., between three and four o'clock, Thurwald JENSON, a boy, eight years of age, dressed in knee pants, blue jacket and brown felt hat, was playing about home in this village, since which time he has not been seen. He has light hair, and blue eyes, is rather slim, is very bright and intelligent, speaks English fluently. It is feared he went onto the logs in the pond near the house, and was drowned, but a most careful search of the pond and of the river for miles below, fails to discover any trace of him, and leaves the hope that he has wandered, or ran away, and may yet be found alive. Any information concerning him will be gladly received at this office, or may be sent to his father, Mr. Hans JENSON, at this place. (15 Oct 1891)

-The body of the little JENSON boy, who was lost on the 7th of October, was found in the river yesterday, in the deep hole below the bridge. It is supposed he was drowned in the pond and that the body came to the surface and was carried over the dam by the high water. When discovered the body was standing nearly upright and whirling in the eddy. The face and body were somewhat bloated, but not disfigured as much as might have been expected. the terrible anxiety of the parents is relieved by this certainty. (12 Nov 1891)
