Hans Peter Jensen's (10 Mar 1858 to 26 Feb 1937) father was Christian J. Jensen (25 Dec 1866 to 30 Jan 1932). Christian J. Jensen was one of Mt. Pleasant, Utah's earliest settlers. When he died in 1932, his obituary lists a daughter, Mrs. H. P. Sorensen of Mt. Pleasant Utah who was Han Peter Jensen's sister.
Since I sent the picture of the Sorensen children, I have discovered their link to my grandmother, Hazel Theora (Jensen) Anderson Lundberg.
First, let me explain that my grandmother, Hazel Theora (Jensen) Anderson Lundberg was born to Mt. Pleasant, Utah parents:
Hans Peter Jensen (10 Mar 1858 to 26 Feb 1937) and Hilda Jensen Jensen (her maiden name is the same as her married name, 31 Oct 1862 to 18 Mar 1954).
Hans Peter Jensen and Hilda Jensen Jensen gave my grandmother, Hazel Theora Jensen as an infant to Hannah Persson Jensen Anderson (26 Jan 1841) and her husband Claus Anderson (1838-1923) both of Mt. Pleasant, Utah to raise as their own. Hannah Persson Jensen Anderson (1841-1925) was the sister to Hilda Jensen Jensen’s father, Andrew Peter Jensen (1837-1921). My grandmother, Hazel Theora (Jensen) Anderson grew up in Mt. Pleasant never knowing she was adopted by her great aunt and uncle until well in to her adulthood.
This is Hans Peter Jensen's obituary from 1937.

Dr. Benjamin R. Johnson, C. B. Johnson and Frank F. Pyott practiced in Mt. Pleasant and Sanpete County
The history of chiropractic in Utah is closely related with legal procedure. As soon as the first chiropractors came to the state and commenced the practice of their profession, they received letters stating the following, "Dear Doctor, You are hereby notified to cease Chiropractic Adjustments or treatments until you have complied with the law." Signed by R. W. Fisher, Secretary, Board of Medical Examiners of the State of Utah, Salt Lake City, September 16, 1908.
Some of the chiropractors, after receiving such a letter, rather than be placed in an unfavorable light before the public and made to fight the case in the courts, decided to leave the state and let the rough pioneering fall on other practitioners. There were many, however, who took but little or no notice of these letters and continued their practices.
In 1915 Benjamin R. Johnson, C. B. Johnson and Frank F. Pyott began their chiropractic services in Sanpete County and built up successful practices in Mount Pleasant, Ephraim, and Manti. In September of 1915 they were arrested. Their trials terminated unsuccessfully in September of 1916, with a sentene of $100. or 100 days in jail. Doctor Pyott paid his fine and Doctor Johnson decided rather than pay a fine he preferred to go to jail. He commenced serving his sentence on September 26, 1916, in the Sanpete County jail at Manti. His friends were highly wrought up over this affair and practically every taxpayer in the county signed a petition to the board of pardons asking for his release. The Mount Pleasant Pyramid published on December 2, 1916
"CITIZENS DEMAND RELEASE OF CHIROPRACTOR"
"About fifty of Dr. B. R. Johnson's patients from nearly every town in Sanpete County called at the County Courthouse in Manti, Wednesday, November 29th and unknown to him, paid the unexpired portion of his fine in pennies, obtained his release and stormed his cell. The release was presented to Doctor Johnson by little Arba Sanders of Fairview, upon whose case he was convicted of 'practicing medicine' some two months ago. Doctor Johnson received a pardon by the State Board of Pardons recently conditioned upon his refraining from giving his services to the public until he secured a medical license. This condition was impossible to comply with because the state medical examiners refuse to consider his application for a license because he is not a graduate of a medical college. The medical examiners do not recognize a chiropractic college, of which Doctor Johnson is a graduate. Therefore he refused to accept the pardon because his duty to the sick would not permit it. Doctor Johnson's friends and patients were not satisfied with the action of the board of pardons, so they decided to take matters in their own hands with the result of Doctor Johnson was released and spent Thanksgiving with his wife and family in Mount Pleasant."
It can be said to the credit of the chiropractic profession in Utah that its upholders are men and women of integrity, ability and devotion to duty. They are a people who will sacrifice much for the principle and rather than flee from the state to safety they prefer to be classed as lawbreakers, subject to arrest, criminal prosecution, fine and imprisonment, for the high regard for duty which they feel they owe the people of this state.
Practically every reputable chiropractor in the state has been subjected to one or two arrests, and some of them have had false serious charges preferred against them which have had a tendency to cast reflection on their ability, integrity and patriotism, but notwithstanding this they are still giving their services to the public. They maintain that it is far better to jeopardize their personal welfare in serving the people of this state than to elect a path of least resistance by going to a state where the science of chiropractic has legal recognition and regulation.
To remedy the controversies in the courts, each legislative session since 1911 has been asked by those interested in chiropractic to give adequate consideration to this matter. At first the request was practically ignored, but in later sessions the legislators were so flooded with requests from the people by petitions and personal letters to regulate the science of chiropractic that much support was given the subject by the legislators. A bill to regulate chiropractic and drugless healing was introduced in the senate of the 1913 session and passed with but two opposing votes. This bill was sifted out by the house sifting committee. In 1915 there was introduced into the house a bill to recognize chiropractic. This bill passed with only one vote against it. The senate adjourned before a vote was taken on the measure. In each of these sessions a great deal of opposition from medical sources was manifest and the legislators were at a loss to know just what to do. But, apparently, the fact that medical ideas have been given credence for so long led them to believe that such opposition could not be mistaken and therefore the chiropractic position must be wrong.
The 1917 session was characterized by a stormy fight in the house of representatives, the chiropractic bill losing by a vote of twenty to twenty three. The session of 1919 was even more stormy. The chiropractic measure was introduced early in the house of representatives and it was fought strenuously at every angle, but finally passed with but a few votes in opposition. The opponents of the measure, realizing that an overwhelming majority of the legislators were in favor of chiropractic, resorted to new tactics. It consisted in assuming a willingness to have chiropractic regulated, but insisted that the science and practitioners of chiropractic be placed under the control of the regular medical board. This appealed to many senators as being the proper solution of the problem, consequently a bill which had been introduced by the medical interests passed. The chiropractic bill was laid on the table in the senate and was never recalled, although several ineffectual attempts were made to resurrect it. The medical substitute bill was killed in the house by a big majority. At this writing the law stands as it was eight years ago. (1919)
The chiropractors of the state have organized themselves into state and county organizations and through this means have been able to protect and conserve the interests of chiropractic and chiropractors. The officeship of the Utah Chiropractors Association for 1919 is: N. L. Cottam, president; Mrs F. M. Colson, vice presicent; Frank F.Pyott, secretary treasurer; and M. G. Hansen and J. M. Grant, directors. The Salt Lake County Chiropractors Association is presided over by W. H. Pyot, B. R. Johnson, vice president, and P. E. Erickson, secretary-treasurer. Through these organizations the services of chiropractors have been offered free of charge to the city, state and national government during the progress of the war. It is with regret by the chiropractors that such offers were not accepted. As the the final triumph of the science of the chiropractic in Utah, no member of the profession will be a theme for eulogy by the coming generations.

Judy Malkiewicz 1950-2013
Malkiewicz passed away at her home on September 25, 2013 in her beloved Mackay, Idaho after a 2 1/2 year battle with high risk Multiple Myeloma. Judith Ann was born December 8, 1950 in Fort Dix, New Jersey to Frank and Marjorie Christine Malkiewicz.
Judy graduated high school in 1969 from H. H. Arnold High School in Wiesbaden, Germany and earned a Bachelor’s of Science in Nursing from the University of Northern Colorado in Greeley, Colorado in 1973. She was employed as a registered nurse at Children’s Hospital in Denver, Colorado following graduation. In 1975, Judy began her 29-year teaching career at the University of Northern Colorado School of Nursing where she retired as a Professor of Nursing in 2004. Judy earned her Masters of Nursing in 1975 and PhD in Nursing in 1991 from the University of Colorado.
The thread that ran through Judy’s entire life was the intensity and dedication she brought to any task at any given time. During her time at the University of Northern Colorado, she was a dedicated mentor and professor – and Judy challenged and expected much from her students. Judy helped educate hundreds of nurses, as many would attest when chance meetings would occur in various hospital settings. Their eyes would light up when they talked about what a wonderful professor she was. In addition, Judy was regarded by her peers as one of UNC’s top professors of pediatric nursing. While at UNC, she was awarded the M. Lucile Harrison Award, a prestigious teaching award recognizing her outstanding contributions to nursing education and teaching. Judy was the first founding member and president of Sigma Theta Tau, Zeta Omicron Chapter at UNC, an international honor society for nursing research and professional development. Judy loved her job, guiding and mentoring future nurses in the art and science of nursing.
When not at work, she was always exploring, doing and engaging others in some adventure. Creating Christmas ornaments by the hundreds, making hundreds of handmade greeting cards, training for and running in a marathon, researching her family genealogy - you knew if Judy was involved, she was going to do it 110%.
When Judy retired in 2004 to Mackay, Idaho, hometown of her grandmother and the birthplace of her mother, she became a vital part of the Mackay community where she became immersed in the daily life and brought that same enthusiasm to her new community. During her time in the Lost River Valley, she was a Mackay Food Bank volunteer, helped edit and publish a book called “The Mackay I Remember” with John Powers, was a former president of South Custer Historical Society, volunteered at Mackay Elementary helping at preschool and recognition assemblies, served as former Secretary of Mackay Women’s Club, volunteered at the annual Custer County Fair, was a member of Mackay’s Lion’s Club, was a member of American Legion Auxiliary and Poppy Coordinator, created and contribute daily to the “MacKay, Idaho 83251 Blog” and initiated putting Mackay’s families laid to rest in the Mount McCaleb Cemetery into “Find a Grave” and organized Mt. McCaleb Cemetery names and identification of veteran grave sites. She was especially proud of her Mt. McCaleb Cemetery plot map that she created and used to help people locate the graves of their loved ones.
Judy also created a blog about her illness, “jm’s Adventure with Multiple Myeloma,” which was read by thousands of people in the U.S. and around the world. Her daily updates were graphic, medically thorough, often humorous, and filled with many many photos that allowed her family, friends, health professionals and other’s who suffered from Multiple Myeloma with endless information about this disease.
No remembrance of Judy would be complete without mention of her love of photography. She documented and recorded the beautiful Lost River Valley as well as friends and family and her journey fighting high risk Multiple Myeloma. Judy felt strongly that the pictures could document important elements of our life, from the mundane to historical facts of life in rural America or the details of what life is like fighting Multiple Myeloma so others could learn from her experience.
Judy is survived by her father Frank J. Malkiewicz, her siblings Jeff (Carol) Malkiewicz and Jani (Robbyn Wacker) Malkiewicz, her nephew Nicholas Malkiewicz, her Uncle and Aunt Walter and Hedwig Dynia, numerous cousins and her beloved golden retriever Kemmer. She was preceded in death by her mother Marjorie Christine Lundberg Malkiewicz and niece Lindsay Katherine Malkiewicz.
Graveside services will be held Saturday, September 28, 2013 at 1 p.m. at the Mt. McCaleb Cemetery in Mackay, Idaho.
In lieu of flowers, contributions can be made to the one of Judy’s favorite charities, the Mackay Food Bank, c/o Otto Higbee, P.O. Box 133, Mackay, Idaho 83251.
We certainly thank Judy for all this information.
We are happy to share it all with our readers.
