In Memory Of
Kelly Jorgenson
Clarence (Kelly) E. Jorgenson
was born on October 15, 1929 near
Demmick Lake on the Jorgenson
homestead, son of Gust and Serina
Jorgenson, Norwegian immi-
grants. Kelly was the youngest of
eight brothers and two sisters all
who preceded him in death. Pastor Haktor Moe baptized him
January 2, 1932 at Clear Creek Church. He was united in mar-
riage for 62 years to Hazel Olson.
Kelly ranched in McKenzie and Dunn Counties, and en-
joyed that life. He trained horses for work and saw success at
showing them. He loved animals, especially Rudy, his cow
dog. As well, he had a special ability to see a project or tool in
his mind’s eye, and then construct it. Kelly also enjoyed the
winters he spent training horses in Arizona
Kelly was a 55 year member of the North Dakota Stock-
man’s Association and the American Quarter Horse Associa-
tion.
Kelly ranched with Hazel’s parents, Gordon and Inga Ol-
son, and later took over the ranch. Kelly lived, worshiped and
loved the beauty of the badlands, God’s country.
Kelly is survived by his wife, Hazel of Watford City; son,
Gary (Carolyn) Billings, MT; daughter, Barbara (Don) Breza-
var, Lenexa, KS; daughter, JoAnne (Chris) Jones, Castle Pines,

in our hearts.
"A Cowboy’s Last Request” Let me tell you folks
Who have gathered here today That I'm a proud and thankful cowboy
Who has just passed away
I know it's hard But, please don't cry
Fer I'm now ridin' Gods trails High up in the sky
The hoss I'm ridin' now Don't spook, buck or kick
Fer God stables perfect horses And now I have my pick
Lord, please forgive me of all my sins Fer I haven't been perfect
But I know that he who believes in You Forever wins!
I have lived a good life A cowboys dream come true
Thank You Lord, Fer I'm now ready to ride into eternity
Me, my horse, and You. By Terry Ike Clanton 6-15-00
