Hazel Theora Jensen Anderson Lundberg Part 1 of 2
Born 22 January 1889 in
Mt. Pleasant, Utah and Died 11 October 1985 in Arco, Idaho
Hazel Theora Jensen Anderson Lundberg's birth mother was Hilda
Jensen Jensen (1862-1954 - maiden
name the same as her married name) and Hazel's birth father was Hans
Peter Jensen (1858-1937). Hilda was 27 years old when Hazel
was born in Mt. Pleasant, Utah. Hazel was their 4th born child. Photos of her birth parents.
At birth, Hazel was
adopted by her great-aunt and uncle, Hanna (Perrson) Jensen Anderson (b 1841, d
13 May 1925) and Claus Anderson (b 1838 in Sweden, d 6 Jan 1923). Hanna was Hilda's
father's, Andrew Peter Jensen (1837-1921) sister.
Claus Wilhelm Anderson (born 1 Apr 1838 in Sweden and died 6 Jan 1923 in Mount Pleasant, Sanpete, Utah. Claus immigrated in
1867 from Sweden and Hanna immigrated in 1871. Claus and Hanna were married 25 June 1873 in Mt. Pleasant, Utah. Photos of her adoptive parents followed by their genogram.
Claus W. Anderson
immigrated to Utah with his parents, Joseph Anderson and Marie Christena
Lundberg Anderson in 1861. They settled in Mt. Pleasant, Utah.
Claus Anderson took part in the Black Hawk Indian War and was awarded a $12/month pension as a result.
Hanna Jensen Anderson immigrated to Utah after her first marriage in Sweden in 1871. Hannah’s father was Per Jensen (b 22 Feb 1801 in Sweden) and her mother was Hannah Hansen (b 12 May 1811 in Sweden).
Claus Anderson took part in the Black Hawk Indian War and was awarded a $12/month pension as a result.
Hanna Jensen Anderson immigrated to Utah after her first marriage in Sweden in 1871. Hannah’s father was Per Jensen (b 22 Feb 1801 in Sweden) and her mother was Hannah Hansen (b 12 May 1811 in Sweden).
Hanna was 48 years old
when she and Claus adopted Hazel.
Hanna had been married
in Sweden prior to 1871 and had four children there. It was said that her
husband and all four children died in Sweden, however, this may not be
completely accurate as a record from the John Heber Stansfield History (married
to Elvina Elvira or Mina Jensen) that Hanna left her first husband, Hans
Andersson, in Sweden to immigrate with the Mormon Saints to Utah in 1871
leaving behind at least one daughter, Kjersinta, and bringing one daughter with
her, Hanna. Her two other children with Hans Andersson had died in Sweden - a
daughter name unknown and a son, Anders who died at age 1 year.
Hanna Perrson (Jensen)
Anderrson Anderson came to Mt. Pleasant, Utah in 1871 where she was married to
Claus W. Anderson (alternate name Clas Wilhelm Josephsson or Anderson, son of
Joseph and Marie Hogenson Anderson) on 25 June 1873. Claus had a sister, Matilda
Josephine Anderson (b Mar 1853 and d 1936) aka Mrs. James Burns, Rodolphus N. Bennett.
Matilda Josephine Burns Bennett first married Sheriff James Burns in 1869.
Sheriff Burns was killed by outlaws in Spring City. Matilida married a second time to Rodolphus N. Bennett
in 1902. Five children survived Matilda Anderson Burns Bennett.
- Mrs. Lydia Williams, Willow Creek
- A. A. Burns, Willow Creek
- Mrs. Beatrice Olson, Mt. Pleasant
- J.H. Burns, Marysvale
- Reed Burns, Manhattan Beach, California
Hannah and Claus
Anderson had five children and only two survived to adulthood, William Clarence Anderson (1874-1965)
and adopted great-niece, Hazel Theora
Jensen Anderson Lundberg (1889-1985).
Hence, Hazel's
adoptive mother was really her Great-Aunt on the paternal side. She probably
did not learn of her adoption until she was in her mid-thirties.
Note:
Hazel's adoptive mother, Hanna Perrson (Jensen) Anderson was a twin with Anna Jensen Fredricksen (1841-1929). Twin
Anna was married to Lars Peter
Fredricksen (1840-1914) on 11 March 1964. Anna Jensen Fredricksen came
to Mt. Pleasant, Utah in 1862 with her brother, Neils (or Nils) Jensen after the death of her father, Neils (or Nils) Jensen (same name
as son). Anna Jensen and Lars Peter Fredricksen had eleven children.
Hazel's adoptive
father, Claus W. Anderson
(1838-1923) was really her Great Uncle by marriage and he was one of the
pioneer founding fathers of Mt. Pleasant, Sanpete, Utah immigrating from Sweden
in 1866, as was her Grandfather (by birth) Andrew Peter Jensen (1837-1921).
Hazel listed with
her birth siblings:
Alvin Peter Jensen
(Wife May Woodward) (1884-1946)
Aldeva Hilda Jensen
(1886-1957)
Hazel Theora Jensen
Anderson Lundberg (husband Maple H. Lundberg) (1889-1985)
Percy Clifford Jensen
(1891-1981)
May Chrystal Anna

Alta Lavon Jensen Turner (husband William
Turner; husband Gilbert Rhees) (1895-1977)
Nora Marston Jensen
Newton (husband Edgar Leon Newton) (1897-1992)
Hazel listed with her
adoptive siblings:
William Clarence
Anderson (1874-1965). William aka Will was really Hazel's great-cousin
since his mother, Hannah Perrson (Jensen) Anderson was Hazel's adoptive mother
and Hannah was the Aunt to Hilda Jensen Jensen, Hazel's birth mother.
William Clarence
Anderson (b 17 Mar 1874, d 22 Sept 1965) married Bertha Elizabeth Young
Anderson (b 20 Sept 1878, d 11 Feb 1970) on 7 Nov 1898. They had 5 children:
- Nathella Mary Anderson Hughes (b 22 Sept 1899, ), Melba, Idaho
- Donald Edward Anderson (b 15 May 1903, d 26 May 1989)
- Dorothea Constance Anderson Simmons (b 22 Aug 1908, d 2 Dec 1971) Salt Lake City, Utah
- Clarence William Anderson (b 8 Sept 1912, d Sept 1981); Los Angeles, California

Hanna and Claus had four
other unknown children who did not survive to adulthood included twin sons. Hanna had one son and one daughter
with first husband, Hans Anderrson and they appeared to have died in Sweden and
twin sons with Claus Anderson in Mt. Pleasant, Utah that also died early.

friends from the H.H.G. Club threw them a reception too (see article below from
the Salt Lake Herald 1911-11-12). A delicious five-course dinner was served and
