Henry Casper Jensson
It is with great sadness that we announce the sudden tragic passing of Henry Casper Jensson on November 23, 2003. He was 75 years old. His dog Rex, his best companion, died by his side.
Henry was born to Casper and Clara Jensson on November 4, 1928 in Baudette, Minnesota. He lived his entire life on his farm in McInnes Creek, 15 miles north of Rainy River. He attended Spohn #1 school. He started farming at a young age and farmed until he retired at age 65. He married Katherine Gibbons in 1962. She passed away July 9, 2000.
He was a patient mild mannered man. He loved to talk to people. Everyone he visited with was made to feel welcome. Conversations were interesting as he knew the happenings of the world. He understood people. Common sense and practicality was his approach to life and dealing with others.
Farming necessitated him to develop many skills. Mechanically inclined he repaired his own machinery. He had a sawmill where he cut and sawed lumber. He was his own carpenter, building whatever was required for the farm. He cleared land off his 600 acre farm providing fields for crops and hay for his hereford cattle. For farmers in the area he hauled cattle. During winter months he spent some time harvesting wood. He had a trap line and cabin. Lake of the Woods was a source of pleasure as he loved fishing and taking people out on the lake.
His pride and joy was his son and family. In his later years he often drove to Keewatin to visit them and his sisters. All of his family considered a visit to Henry's farm a very special treat.
Henry will be sadly missed by his only child Hugh, his daughter-in-law Aurea (Dufresne), grandchildren April, Rochelle, Jake and Nicholas; his sisters Ilene Grouda Sutherland (Don), Caroline (Bill) Gate, Aunt Stella Jensson, numerous nieces, nephews and cousins. His favourite roll was Grandpa. He goes to join his beloved parents, his sisters, Doris Daignault and Viola Jensson (Wall-Minchau).
A celebration of Henry's life will be held Monday December 1, 2003 at 1 p.m. at the McInnes Creek Chapel.
In lieu of flowers, please make donations to the McInnes Creek Chapel, c/o Vivian Locking, Box 513, Rainy River, Ontario P0W 1L0.

Alice May Livingstone
In Loving Memory of Alice May Livingstone
Alice was born in Kenora on June 15, 1928, the youngest daughter of Percy Graham Grafham and Jessie May Campbell. Spending all of her childhood years in the Kenora area, she attended local schools and churches there. Alice graduated from Kenora District High school, and was confirmed at the local Lutheran Church. She met Allan Livingstone in 1946 when he returned from serving overseas during WW2. They were married in August of 1947. Together they raised four children, Colleen, Curtis, Craig and Colin at various locations throughout Northwestern Ontario. When Allan had to move for employment reasons, Alice would pack up their children and belongings and move to a new home. But different surroundings did not hinder her, as she would adapt rather quickly, making new friends, usually by making friends with their pets first. She loved animals, and enjoyed warm days in the sun. Their home on the lake at Perrault Falls was a favorite of hers. Moving to Vermilion Bay for health reasons, they spent the last seven years there.
Alice enjoyed gardening, taking care of her flowers and yard, as well as playing bingo with friends and neighbors she met in the Vermilion Bay area.
She passed away on November 3, 2003, and will be sadly missed by all who knew and loved her.
Alice was predeceased by her parents, husband Alan on April 19, 2003, and several siblings a number of years ago.
She is survived by her daughter Colleen Livingstone of Eagle River, sons, Curtis Livingstone of Kenora, Craig (Dianne) Livingstone of Redwing, Minnesota, USA and Colin Livingstone of Vermilion Bay. She will also be sadly missed by her grandchildren, Allan, Todd, Patricia, Amber, Sean, Shannon, Michelle, and Miranda. Great-grandchildren Brian, Brenden, Alexandra, and Gabriel. Also surviving are her sisters Jenny Handke of Maple Ridge, B.C., and Isabel Trelevan of Calgary, AB., and numerous nieces and nephews.
A Private Memorial Service was held for Alice Livingstone at the Dryden Community Funeral Home on November 7, 2003 with Mr. John Mulders officiating. Interment of ashes followed at the Vermilion Bay cemetery.
If friends so desire, donations may be made to Northern Cancer Research through the Dryden Community Funeral Home, 249 Grand Trunk Ave,. Dryden, ON P8N 2X3.
