Chapter 179

Soren C. and Caroline Jensen Christensen

      Soren C. Christensen and his wife Caroline Jensen came to Preston around the turn of the century. Caroline is the sister of the four Jensen brothers, Niels Peter, James Hans, Andrew and Christian Weaver who were all early settlers there at the time.

      Soren and Caroline were active in the church and civic activities while they were there. Soren was sustained as President of the Y.M.M.I.A., December 4, 1900, with Andrew Jensen as one of his counselors. Caroline was sustained as counselor in the Y.L.M.I.A. the same day.

      They did not stay long in the new little settlement as they moved back to Moroni when John Sorensen made one of his moves back to Utah, April 16, 1901. When they left there were vacancies in the Sunday School organization as well as in the M.I.A. They made their home permanently in Moroni, Utah where they raised a large family.
