They rode some big horses in those days. The gentleman on horseback would be my Great Grandfather, Nels Jensen. He and his wife Bessie had a ranch on Rapid Creek, east of Farmingdale, South Dakota. He was of Danish background and lived for a time in a Danish community near Swan Lake in SE South Dakota and then moved to the Circle Star Ranch around 1912. They raised horses and cattle along the banks of Rapid Creek. Their oldest daughter, Hazel, would eventually marry a Swede by the name of Emanuel Reinhold.
