It is the sad duty of the Times this week to chronicle the death of one of our respected citizens who will not only be mourned by his family and relatives, but by people in general throughout county.  At the noon hour on Thursday December 13, 1906, Emil Jensen, who was stricken with apoplesy early on Saturday morning last, passed away the age of 58 years, 8 months and 25 days.

On Saturday last when it became known that Mr. Jensen had a stroke of apoplexy his relatives and friends had grave fears of the result, but the following day he seemed to rally and the family were greatly encouraged until Wednesday night, when he began to sink and finally entered that long sleep that knows no waking.

Emil P. Jensen was the son of the late H.P. Jensen and was born in Schleswig, Holstein, Germany, March 8, 1848.  At the age of five years he came to America with his parents who located in the town of New Holstein.  There he spent his early days and attended the common schools, aiding his father on the farm.  In 1869 he was married to Mina Jachmann and remained in New Holstein where he followed farming and conducted a livery barn until the fall of 1878, when he was elected sheriff of Calumet county and moved to Chilton and has since made his home there.  Shortly after coming to this place he engaged in buying stock with the late Maj. R. Schlichting and for the past 24 years has followed the same line of business with Peter Petersen as a partner.  He was re-elected to the office of sheriff in 1882 and again in 1894.  He also held the position of alderman of this city for two terms.  For a number of years he acted as interpreter for the circuit court.  He was a man whose honor was unimpeachable and during his long and active business and official career was never known to do a dishonorable act.  He was steadfast to his friends and would put himself out to perform a favor for anyone whom he considered deserving.  In the death of Mr. Jensen a wife loses a kind and loving husband, his family a devoted and indulgent father and the community a useful and honest citizen and neighbor.

He leaves a widow, five sons, Adolph, Dr. A.B., Walter, Emil, Gerhard, and three daughters, Mmes. H.A. Kroll, C.W. Schnelland and C.H. Schwalbe, a brother, Chas. Jensen and sister, Mrs. Wm. Paulson, and seven grandchildren.

The funeral will be held from the family residence tomorrow, Sunday afternoon at one thirty with interment in the Breed cemetery.
