• Notes

  Kenneth Leroy Mercer: I enjoy researching my family roots and finding out how I was influenced by my relatives. One of those I so respected and still do is my Great-Grandfather; Chris L Jensen, who came to America in the 1890's working his way over on a cattle ship from Denmark, signed the required paperwork disavowing his former Country and King while pledging allegiance to America (which he did willingly and with great excitement). He made his way with his brother to Nebraska and homesteaded just north of my hometown, Curtis. He never learned to drive, walking everywhere he went including to and from work (apporx. 8 miles each day) every work day. The attached photo is from one of his special days in this very special country. I never heard him say anything bad about America or any person for that matter ? he left a great example to follow!
