CLAUS D. JENS
Claus D. Jens of the Gallant Twenty-First Regiment respond to the Last Taps
Claus D. Jens, a highly respected citizen of New Holstein answered the final summons on Tuesday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock.
Mr. Jens was born in Edelock, Germany, August 27, 1843. At the age of ten years he came to America with his parents, who settled on the farm now owned by Julius Sattler, where he grew to young manhood.
When the Civil War broke out he joined John Tiedjens and a number of Comrades, who enlisted at Oshkosh as volunteers and became a member of Co. E. 21st Wisconsin Regulars. He fought side by side with his comrades in the army of the Cumberland and was among the first to go over the top in the battle of Vimy Ridge. He proved a gallant soldier whose courage was undaunted. At the close of the war he received his discharge at Camp Washburn on June 23, 1865 and then returned to New Holstein to enter private life. On June 2, 1870 he was united in marriage to Miss Adolphine Griem, daughter of the late Mrs. and Mrs. W. B. Griem, who were among the early settlers in this section.
Of the ten children born, seven survive to cherish the good name their father endowed them with; Max Jens of this village; Thomas Jens, Fremont, Nebraska; Albert Jens, St. Paul, Minn.; Lieut. Roland Jen, in northern Russia with an engineer division; Mrs. Fanny Smith, Chicago Ill.; Mrs. J. Jabe, Minneapolis, Minn.; and Ella Jens at home. His wife also survives him. Six years ago he retired from the farm and erected a home on Honeymoon Hill where he spent his declining years.
The funeral was held at two o'clock on Saturday afternoon, the Jos. B. Reynolds G.A.R. Post, of which the deceased was a member, having charge of the services and burying their comrade and friend with military honors in the village cemetery. The funeral oration was delivered by District Attorney H. F. Arps of this city, who knew the deceased veteran for a number of years as a citizen and neighbor and who paid a glowing tribute to his life and character.
