Show October 20, Norita's Nook Twins observe 78fh birthday Denmark still lives at party with in Jennys heart By Norita Lancaster 462-283- 3 Chester, once a thriving Pioneer community, is now a small quiet rural town. A touch of old England or a little bit of Denmark? Maybe both. I dont usually write about a community, as such, unless there is a special celebration or event, but after reading J. Emil Jensens book The History of the Chester Ward, and visiting with Emil and Jenny Jensen, I thought our readers might find some of the background of this small Sanpete community as interesting as I did. Chester is younger than most of the surrounding communities in this area. It was set up for homesteading about 1870. However, many men did not move their families into Chester until the problems with the Indians were settled and treaties signed. Homesteaders came from other parts of Sanpete. These other communities were settled as early as 1849, but most of them were settled about 1852 and 2 eggs 1 traditional little bit of Denmark still lives in Jhe hearts of Mr. and Mrs. J. Emil Jensen, Chester. Mrs. Jensen, born in Denmark, has some choice recipes from her native land, found in Noritas Nook. The A tsp. grated cream Jensens are Chesters oldest couple. He was born in Chester and Mrs. Jensen came to America at the salt cup breadcrumbs fluid oz. club soda allspice to taste Fry in small patties, or can be baked as meatloaf. This next recipe is usually made for dinner. BUTTERMILK SOUP carton buttermilk equal amount of milk 1 cup sugar small stick cinnamon 1 heaping Tbs. cornstarch Cook and stir 3 minutes. Add: i cup rasins and cup prunes precooked in water. Remove stones from prunes and add prunes to soup. The Danish are famous for their dumplings, and Jenny is no exception. She even has a special dumpling maker, brought with her from Denmark. CREAM PUFFS It was originally called Chesterfield after Chesterfield, England, the home town of David Candland, one of the early settlers. In 1877 the Postal Department dropped the "field and since then it has been called Chester. It also had the nickname of The Bottoms. There was always an abundance of water and rich soil, making it an ideal place to raise crops and cattle. In the early days they raised beautiful fields of grain. Then working together, as a community, they began to produce sugar beets. This became their main industry until the sugar factory was sold to the U and I Sugar Co. They then went from raising sugar beets to raising peas and for many years this too, was a prosperous industry for the people of Chester. Now, of course, it is turkeys that is their main industry. They still have their rich farmlands though, and who knows, maybe someday, through their united efforts, they will begin to produce other needed items, as they did in their early days. The town of Chester may have dwindled in population, but they have grown in love and respect for one another, making it an ideal community in which to live. Jenny Jensen is our very special cook this week. Shi and her husband J. Emil are the oldest living members of Chester. They are a very interesting and delightful couple. Jenny is originally from Aarhus, Denmark. She came over here in 1912 at the age of nineteen to Sanpete because one of her sisters was here. She and her sister both' married brothers. She still has family in Denmark, and has visited her homeland many times, but considers America her home. J. Emil is from Chester. They had four children and are blessed with six grandchildren and five great grandchildren. They have quite a collection of Danish items, displaying them mostly in one room that they call the Danish Room. They also have a replica of a Danish windmill that her father made in Denmark which graces a lovely sun room filled with flowers. They have both been very active members of the LDS Church. He was Bishop of the Chester Ward for eight years and on the High Council for thirteen years. She was President of the Relief Society for ten years and a Sunday School teacher for thirty years. Jenny used to do needlepoint, but now does crocheting and knitting. She also helps translate Danish writing to English for the benefit of some of their friends. They are both very generous of 19. age people. Although Jenny doesnt need it, she did bring a beautiful old cookbook with two-third- Si OR DUMPLINGS cup water 2 tsp. salt 1 cup flour 4 eggs Heat the butter and water to boiling point.
