Jen Jensen Mann and Anne Kristine Jensen

Aunt Emma stated that her grandmother on her mother's side or Christine's mother died before Emma was born. She was known as Bestimor (Bestimor is a Danish name meaning grandmother.

Bestimor lived in a home later owned by Black Erickson by Felix Feller’s home in Weston Idaho. Bestimor wove rugs and knitted. She had a cow and a few chickens. She sold her goods to the Preston Brothers Store. It had also been stated that Bestimor gave John Henry the money to file for the homestead farm north of Weston Idaho. Uncle Lawrence said that he could remember when Bestimor died that his father made a casket (coffin). It was large at the head and tapered down narrower at the foot or bottom. It was made out of wood. It was lined with cotton inside and with sheeting on the outside. The last coffin that Uncle Lawrence remembered his father making was a coffin for the child of George and Hanna Kelson that died with diphtheria. He built a square window in the top over the head of the coffin.

And Kirstine Jensen and Jen's Jensen Mann were buried in the George Kelson lot in the Weston Cemetery. The headstone on the east side of the stone states “Father and Mother Jensen”. In 1968 the Christensen and Jensen Family Organizations had engraved on the west side of the stone the following:
