November 9, 1991: Nancy and Dane came.
November 13, 1991: ELCA"
Eek. I know it is early, but I really have nowhere to go with that stuff. So, I'll go back to the Iversen-Jensen Family Tree book that I was referencing earlier.
I did a very quick glance through the book and it seems that of the many descendants of .Iver and Christiane Iversen, only Peter Iversen and family lived and married and died in northeast Nebraska. Quite a few ended up in Fremont and Omaha and Washington County, Nebraska. Quite a few others lived out of state.
The only people I found this early in the morning that lived near us was Ivar Jensen. He was born in Denmark but came to American at age 2 with his parents. They lived near Kennard, Nebraska and he grew to an adult there. He married Lena Falconer who was born in Iowa. They first lived in Colorado, but later moved to a farm near Wisner. They had five children, including Genevieve and Phillip that I wrote about earlier, before they divorced in 1917. Ivar then married Anna Schroeder in Wayne. The book shows she was buried in Wayne in 1958, so perhaps they lived there all that time. Ivar eventually moved and remaried the first Mrs. Jensen. She and some of their children were living in Washington and Oregon. Ivar and Lena died in Oregon and are buried there.
Well, now that I look again some of their children lived in Nebraska. Maybe. It looks like several were still living in 1987 when the book was made, so I only know where they were born and married. The ones born and/or married in Nebraska are Chester Jensen (married Betty Langan from Hartington), Delbert Jensen (married in Wakefield to Elinor Meyer), and Richard Jensen (married in Wahoo to Kathleen Langan). Maybe this information is helpful to Mom or Nancy.
Speaking of siblings born in Nebraska, see the photo above.
