Carl Walter Jorgenson was born in Denmark on April 5, 1890. He came to the United States as a young man because he had sisters already in America. He lived in Wisconsin and Minnesota until 1913 or 1914 when he came to be near a sister in the Kensal area. Carl served in the army in 1918-1919 in France during World War I.
On November 10, 1920 he married Anna Norheim at the Norheim farm home near Kensal. She was born January 21, 1897 in Bucephalia Township. The Jorgensons bought land on Section 13 in Bucephalia Township where they lived until they retired and moved to Kensal in 1955. Their son, Alfred, now lives on the home farm.
The Jorgensons had three children: Alfred, Arlean and Dennis.
Mr. Jorgenson died July 3, 1966 and is buried in the Kensal Cemetery.
