    from bio of son-in-law John E. JENSEN:
    John E. Jensen 
    When seventeen years of age John E. Jensen of Moroni became identified with sheep raising and has since been connected with the industry, in connection with which he carries on general farming and dairying and is leading an active, busy and useful life. He was born at Moroni, March 29, 1890, a son of Andrew L. and Christina C. (Christensen) Jensen. The father, on coming to Utah in 1862, settled at Moroni. He had acquired a common school education in Denmark and was assisted by his wife in learning to read the English language after they were married on the 19th of May, 1873. He became well versed in United States history, also in the Bible and in commercial law. He was constantly adding to his knowledge through reading, observation and experience and became a well informed man and a useful citizen. For four terms he filled the office of mayor of Moroni, also served as a member of the city council for a number of years and was a delegate to nearly all of the county, territorial and state conventions for twenty years prior to his death, his opinions carrying weight in those gatherings. He also served as a member of the territorial legislature and he left the impress of his individuality and ability in many ways upon the annals of community and commonwealth. He filled a mission of twenty-seven months to the southern states and was near Berry and Gibbs when they were assassinated. He was also counselor to Bishop Irons and a member of the high priests' quorum. He served in the Indian wars of the early days and in many ways contributed to the material, political and moral development of the state. He passed away February 22, 1901, and the mother of John E. Jensen is still living. Assuming the management of the estate, she has held the property together and has reared a large family, namely: John E., Andrew F., James Vernile, Frank, Delmer, Mary, Maria, Delina and two daughters who are deceased. 
    John E. Jensen acquired a common school education at Moroni and when only seventeen years of age began handling sheep. Throughout the intervening period he has been identified with sheep raising and handles well bred Rambouillet sheep. 
    
    On the 26th of March, 1913, in Salt Lake City, Mr. Jensen was married to Miss Eva Livingston, who was born at Fountain Green, Utah, in 1895, a daughter of James C. and Frances (Chapman) Livingston. Her grandfather, James C. Livingston, came to Utah in 1853 and for years was one of the bodyguard of President Young through the period of unrest. He was superintendent of large bodies of men engaged in railroad work in 1868 and later he managed the granite quarry until the temple was finished. James C. Livingston, his son and father of Mrs. Jensen, was a stone quarryman and afterward became manager of a store at Wasatch. In 1887 he removed to Fountain Green, where he has a good farm and is also engaging to some extent in stock raising, making a specialty of Jersey cattle for dairy purposes. The Chapman family were also pioneer settlers of Utah and were represented in the Black Hawk war. Mrs. Jensen has three brothers and a sister, namely: Earl, Clifton, Jesse and Bernice. To Mr. and Mrs. Jensen have been born three children: Eva Jeniel, whose birth occurred December 21, 1913; John L., whose natal day was January 27, 1915; and Andrew Morris, born May 24, 1917. All are natives of Moroni.
