Mr. Jensen was born on Feb. 27, 1894, in Moroni, Utah, to Andrew and Clara Jensen.  During his youth he worked in the Aimes Shipyard in Seattle, returning to Utah in 1918.  He owned and operated a coal mine near his home town until 1942 when he came to Bremerton and was employed as a chipper and caulker at the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard.  He retired in 1961 after 18 years of employment at PSNS.
His hobbies were growing roses and walking.  He was a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
He is survived by his wife, Zelma, of the family home; a daughter, Mrs. Jessie Gray, Salt Lake City; three sons, Clarence T. Jensen, Santa Clara, Calif., and Kenneth E. Jensen and Forrest Dean Jensen, both of Bremerton; a brother, Lionel Jensen, Centerville, Utah, and 13 grandchildren.

This photo states that is was taken at a possible funeral in 1969.
My guess is that this was taken at Clarence Jensen's funeral in 1968 as it shows his wife Zelma in the middle of their four children.

As Clarence died in the last 50 years, his death certificate will not become publicly available until around the year 2018.  When it is available I will post it here.
