From The Biographical History of Clark
and Jackson County, Wisconsin (1891-Lewis Publishing Co.) page
260:
CHRISTOPHER JENSEN, of Section 29, Thorp
Township, Clark County, was born in Denmark, December 15, 1849, the
son of James H. and Carrie (Morteisdatter) Hansen, both deceased
and natives of Denmark also. They had four children: Martin H.,
Christopher, Mary and Lizzie. Christopher came to the United States
in 1873, stopping first in Waukesha County, Wisconsin, until 1875,
when he removed to Summit, Illinois. He spent one year there, and
one summer at Riverside, after which he returned to Denmark and
remained until the fall of 1881. Next he returned to Wisconsin, and
in July, 1882, came to his present farm of eighty acres, forty of
which he cleared. He has worked in the woods mostly during the
winters, and in clearing his land and farming in the summers, but
the last three years he has spent entirely on his farm. He has a
good barn and residence, where he keeps a jolly bachelor's
hall.
