(1861–1930)

Andrew Havig Jensen (1861-1930) emigrated from Farsund, Norway to Chicago, Illinois in 1882. In Chicago he worked as a baker, like his father-in-law. He later was a plumber and steam fitter at L. Wolf Plumbing. He was a singer, composer, and the choral leader for his church. He died in 1930 at age 69. He was born as "Andreas Jensen" and "Havig" as his middle name was passed down orally and does not appear on any official documents. (b. April 28, 1861; Farsund, Vest-Agder, Norway - d. Friday, May 30, 1930; Williams Bay, Walworth County, Wisconsin, USA)
