and Anna TRUHLSEN JENSEN.
The family moved to Blair for a few years, then returned to the farm in
the March School district, where he assisted his father and brother in the

He retired from active farming four years ago due to ill health.
He was honored as a 50-year member of the Omaha Livestock Exchange and

Obituary.
Blair Enterprise, 20 Aug 1998. Eleanor DeVINNEY JENSEN,
87. Eleanor DeVINNEY JENSEN, 87, a prominent Washington County
farm woman and community activist, died Sunday, Aug. 16, 1998, in San Mateo,
Calif., where she had recently moved to be near her son and his
family. She granted her body to the Stanford Unviersity Medical
Research School for detailed rheumatoid arthritis study. After this
study, she will be buried with the JENSEN family in the Blair
Cemetery. A memorial service to celebrate her life will be 10 a.m.
Saturday, October 17, 1998, at the Herman Federated Church with Rev. David MASTEN
officiating. A reception will follow. Eleanor DeVINNEY
was born March 2, 1911, in Chunchula, Ala., to Joseph and Marie DeVINNEY.
Six years later, after developing a lumber mill, the DeVINNEY family
returned to a family farm near Blair. She graduated from Blair High
School in 1928 with high honors and was a state champion in debate.
She debated that the origin of a civilized society is well-chosen
words. The debate topic was "Resolved, words and ideas are first
weapons of choice to correct human conflict." Through Normal
School courses, Eleanor received a teaching
certificate with her Blair degree. By age 21, she had taught for four
years at the eight-grade March country school. She emphasized classic
farm community concepts, cooperation, fundamental knowledge and the advance
of an idea from year to year. On May 20, 1932, she married Alton Byron
JENSEN. The couple farmed seven miles north of
Blair. Despite the effects of drought and severe economic depression
on farm life, the farm wife strongly believed in community activity.
She helped found and promote the Federation of Women's Clubs in Nebraska,
Blair Bench Club, Nebraska Farm Bureau, Blair Community Hospital, Pleasant
View Sunday School, Herman Eastern Star and the Herman Federated
Church. She believed that community activities not only served a great
purpose, but allowed her to meet grand people. As she was working to
develop the Federated Women's Club, she met Susie BUFFET, who one day
offered her a chance to purchase stock in a new company she and her husband,
Warren, were developing. The stock helped put the JENSEN
children through college. Eleanor was active in grass roots
politics. She once said, "In the Depression and War years, with a
name like Eleanor, you had to help the President." She was an
organist and often accompanied her husband. After suffering a stroke,
she moved to the Good Shepherd Lutheran Home in Blair. In October of
1996, decades after she gave up formal school teaching, she began working
with South School students in Blair on their reading and math skills through
an intergenerational program. She enjoyed teaching again, adding that
"It gives me something to do besides taking a nap." She is
survived by her daughter, Sally, of Oamah; her son, Larry, and his wife,
Noriko, of San Mateo; her sister, Irene DAVIS of Truckee, Calif.; her
stepsister Lucille SMITH of Blair; three grandchildren, Dirk Byron
and his wife, Dawn, of San Mateo; Brooke Alise JENSEN of San
Francisco; Nels Joseph of San Jose; and two great-grandchildren. She
was preceded in death by her husband, Alton, in 1985 and a daughter-in-law,
Jan Alise, in 1974.
