    4. From the book "Get Out of Heaven's Waiting Room," by Joyce Ackley, 2008, Xulon Press. Joyce is the granddaughter of this individual:
    "A Silent Night Miracle.
    Let me tell you the story of my most daring adventure when I was a teenager. It involves an incident I'll never forget. I'll need to descibe my grandfather to you so you can understand.
    He sat straight as a ramrod in his captain's chair. His toothless mouth clinched a half smoked cigar, and his pixie face reflected an air of boredom as he listened to the young Pastor seated across from him.
    The Pastor, as tall as Grandpa, sat on one of the caned kitchen chairs. His dark wavy hair, pink cheeks and dimples made him look like a tall choir boy. He held a cigar in his hand, unsure rather to choke from smoking it or to chance Grandpa's sarcasm by merely holding it.
    'We'll, Pete,' said the Pastor, 'I would really like to have you attend our Christmas Eve service this year. I know you'd enjoy it.'
    Although Grandpa refrained from his usual colorful cursing, he let the Pastor know in no uncertain terms that he had no intention of attending any service in any church.
    It would take a miracle to get Grandpa into church, we knew. Grandma had tried for years. First she triad with coy attempts, then with arguing, again with sweetness, and finally she had all but given up the idea.
    For as long as I could remember I had tried to get Grandpa to take the plunge. I begged him to come and hear the good choir, or to see the Christmas pageant, or to see our new church, but my success had been no better than Grandma's.
    Christmas Eve was near again a I really did wish he could hear the choir sing 'Silent Night.' It was important because I sang in the choir and I was proud of the gift of singing God had given me. I shyly entered the room where the two men were talking and grandpa's eyes lit up, as they always did when I was around. He puffed a couple of times on his cigar, cleared his throat and sat forward just a little.
    'I'll tell you what, young feller, I'll come to your church if you'll do something for me.'
    Pastor grinned and grasped Grandpa's hand. 'Of course, Mr. Petersen, what would that be?'
    Grandpa sat back with a big toothless grin and said, 'Let my granddaughter sing 'Silent Night' in Danish at your service.'
    Grandpa had come to this country when he was only seven years old and could speak only Danish. As the years went by, English became the only language spoken in the Petersen home. When I, his first grandchild, came along, he felt he must keep some small remnant of his native tongue alive. So, he taught me a few words and also taught me how to sing 'Silent Night." Now he wanted to hear this song sung once more as he remembered it.
    I wanted to sink through the floor. 'Oh no, Grandpa. My voice isn't good enough to sing alone and besides everyone would think I was crazy if I sang something they couldn't understand.'
    The Pastor's face was one of amused perplexity. God had finally shown him a way to get this stubborn sinner into church and he certainly couldn't refuse. 'All right, Pete, we'll let her do it and we expect to see you at seven Chrismas Eve.'
    'Oh, dear God, why did you do it this way?' I thought. Of course, I wasn't sure Grandpa would come. Nevertheless, I was still making a fool of myself. I dreaded Christmas Eve. Would they think I was showing off? Whould my voice quiver so much I couldn't get a sound out? How would the director feel about this change of program?
    The night came cold and clear, and even though huge snowflakes were falling, I assured my Dad I didn't want a ride to church. Actually I was stalling for more time. As I crunched along, kicking the snow in front of me, I marveled at the brightness of the moon sifting through the lacy flakes and I felt very small and alone on this very silent night.
    In the stillness I felt as if God were telling me to sing to His glory and forget myself. My short legs sped up and my heart was as happy as a child with a new discovery. I was going to forget what others thought and just do my best.
    As the time drew near, I wasn't sure if Grandpa intended to keep his promise. I arrived early and sat down in a pew to have a word with God before the night began. The organ was softly playing, the scent of pine filled the warm, candlelit room, and I felt completely at peace.
    Finally, the organist played the introduction and the choir hummed the harmony. My voice was soft and shaky at first, but as I sang a feeling of freedom came over me and I forgot myself. It was then that I began to search the congregation for Grandpa. Two rows back I saw him, straight and tall, holding Grandma's hand.
    In that moment, all my embarrassment was forgotten and I silently thanked God for this miracle, because Grandpa actually glowed and tears crept down his wrinkled old cheek. As the last notes of the song were sung the church was still, the candles flickered, and God's presence embraced everyone."

    5. The book "House of Memories and Other Poems," by Joyce Ackley, Xulon Press, 2010, pp. 8-11; this poem is about the house that Joyce lived in that was originally the home of Peter Petersen and Mary Ann Burnhope:
    "Introduction:
    My drawing on the cover is of the home my great grandparents built in the 1800's.
    Four generations of our family have lived there and it was with great sorrow to us that the house has now been demolished…
    "House of Memories
    I'm not dead, but my youth flashed before me today.
    Sleeping on the kitchen porch on hot Summer nights, Christmas dinners around grandma's table with the whole clan present, climbing the stairs to my strange, narrow little room. Getting eggs from the chicken coop way out back.
    The coal stove in the front room with isinglass windows and the big black stove in the kitchen. Little hiding places under the stairs.
    Back porch ice-box filled each week with huge, dripping chunks. Claw-footed bathtub filled with Helena Rubenstein's bubble bath. Coal chute sliding shiny black coal into dirt cellar, coal bucket and shovel at the ready.
    Trap door, hooked so we can go down narrow steps where jars of peaches, pears, jams and jellies nestle on wooden shelves grandpa built.
    Also, kindling, chopped and ready to set morning fires. Violet's perfume wafting through kitchen window from mama's garden.
    Maytag wringer/washer and wash tubs hidden behind closed doors on back porch.
    Only three wooden steps - leading to nowhere, that's all that is left.
    The yellow frame house at 2264 Madison Avenue
    Died today."

    PHOTOS:
    1. Per email dated 13 Dec 2012 from Irene Petersen with photos of homes attached:
    "Petersens and Hales had their land on 3rd street in Ogden just below Madison avenue and also the remodeled house of Aunt Christine Petersen at 108 Adams street. if you look at the famous picture of the family sitting outdoors on that land you would see that the mountains in background match the picture I took. If you go on Google map and put 670 3rd street, Ogden, you will see that land or what is left of it. It is just above the Canal. Talk to Chris about it.
    When we took the picture of grandpa Frank's house, the owner Mr. Chournos came out and invited us to go thru the whole house and see all the changes he made in it. He has lived there for 37 years. He has taken real good care of it and Dad was real pleased. He also found a lot of dad's toys over the years: marbles and little cars. He gave us a Christmas card that was sent to your grandmother Irene in December 1945 from her friend, still in the original envelope. He also made changes on the front entrance on the peak above the front door. He is getting ready to change the front door soon as it is pretty rotten. Grandma Irene had made a curtain for that door and he still had it and he gave it to us. Still in good condition."

The wedding cake was a marvel of design which everyone admired.
    After supper there were a number of recitations, songs and comic speeches given by the guests which revealed some remarkable talent. After this the large rooms were cleared and dancing was begun, some thirty couples particiapting and at break of day the tired but happy guests repaired to their homes all voting the event one of the pleasantest ever held in this burg. Among those present were Mr. Peterson and daughter, of Ogden; Mr. and Mrs. Hickinooper, of Pleasant View; Mrs. Mattenson, Payson; Mr. and Mrs. T. J.

    BIOGRAPHY:
    1. Thomas and Mary Ann Burnhope's granddaughter Mary Lucile Burnhope wrote her several very detailed and descriptive biographies of several dozen pages from June 1969 through July 1988. She was this Mary Ann's cousin and references them in the following narrative. I have copies on file of which some details of genealogical interest I here relate. She notes the family would take the train to Ogden for Christmas at her grandparents Thomas and Mary Ann Burnhope's home of which she relates: "Their home at 2264 Madison Avenue was a two story house with an open staircase leading to the upstairs. Grandma's parlor had beautiful English furniture and trinkets from England that were not to be touched, but we could look at them with our hands behind our back. Except for Christmas and very special occasions the parlor was closed. The house was heated with coal stoves, but they did have electric lights and a real bathroom which was a new experience for me. I liked to play on the stairs most of all. My cousins, the Petersens were always there too. They lived in Ogden not far from our grandparents. My Aunt Mary Ann Petersen was my father's only sister, and father was her only brother. They were very close at this time and we always had a wonderful time when we were all at Grandma's house. One event that I always looked forward to at my grandparent's house was on Christmas Eve. After our stockings were all hung up for Santa Claus we had stories, and then Grandma treated us to their English Christmas Eve traditional ceremony. Grandma and grandpa Burnhope were both born in England and lived there until they joined the LDS church and sailed for America in 1868. They met in Ogden and were married in the LDS Endowment House in Salt Lake City on Nov. 18, 1872. There were some English traditions that they continued to enjoy. Grandma would fill a plate with large seeded raisins and pour a small amount of brandy over the top of them. Then grandpa would strike a match and set fire to the raisins and brandy. The flames would go up about a foot. Then each person had to try to get a raisin or two out of the flames. We all succeeded because the fire didn't seem to be hot. The raisins were delicious. When we finished the raisins we had English Christmas cake and a very tiny (about one inch high) glass of what Granma called her own English wine. I don't know how she made it but it was good. Then the children were sent to bed while the parents and grandparents played checkers and chess until the wee hours. These trips to Ogden were so special. After Grandma died in May 1919 we never again had our English Chrismas Eve. Then Grandpa Burnhope came to live with us in Bothwell until he died in March 1922."

    2. From the book "Get Out of Heaven's Waiting Room," by Joyce Ackley, 2008, Xulon Press. Joyce is the granddaughter of this individual:
    "A Taste of Christmas Past.
    With the age I'm carrying, I also carry many happy memories. I think my family would enjoy hearing about some of these memorable moments in my life. How many times have you heard 'back in your day how did you...?'
    When I was little, all of my family, my aunts, uncles, cousins, and one wonderful great aunt had christmas at my Grandma's house each year.
    Grandma's snow white hair, twisted in a bun on the nape of her neck, just barely showed over the huge flaming plum pudding she carried into the kitchen. I wondered why she always came down the hall from the front room with it. (Grandma had no dining room, so we were all crowded in her small kitchen blocking any exit to her back porch.) How did the pudding that had hung in a dish towel on her back porch for the last two months get in the front room? (I'm not sure why the pudding was hung in a towel, but I think Grandma poured brandy on it from time to time so it was soaking up flavor, also, by hanging it formed into a perfect ball. These are just my guesses, but I have no one to explain it to me so your guess is as good as mine.) Of course, I now realize that the kitchen was so full she had to go out the front door, around the house to the back porch, get the pudding and come back to the front and enter the kitchen that way.
    Shirley, Jack and Warner, my cousins, and I all sat like good kids because we had waited all year to eat Grandma's plum pudding. We were very warm scrunched between all the big people at the table. The pine-branch mama put on Grandma's coal stove to freshen the room smelled so good, and while I waited to get my pudding, I enjoyed watching the pine needles turn a rust brown on the stove top. Occasionally one would pop into the air. I don't remember any of them burning. When they were all brown mama would scoop them into the hot fire and we heard a loud sizzle and a pine-fragrance filled the room.
    The blue flame on the pudding would burn out, and its smooth roundness would be portioned into everyone's dish. I had to wait 'til mama lifted the gravy boat full of hot brandy sauce and poured some over the pudding. Holding these few bites in my mouth was such a treat I wiggled them around savouring every taste and feel.
    Finally, as everyone sighed, stuffing in the last wonderful taste of Christmas, Grandma, with a dew-drop of sweat on her upper lip, would sit down to join the family."

    Promontory, Utah, Sept. 24th, 1896.
    Editor Standard: - Dear Sir:
    This village was aroused form its stupor by the chiming of wedding bells which announced to the villagers that Mr. Peter Peterson and Miss Mary A. Burnhope had been united in the holy bond of matrimony. The services were performed at the home of the bride, our genial judge Murphy officiating. The relatives of the contracting parties, with a few select friends, were present at the ceremony. About 6 p.m., they all preceded to the future home of the happy couple where more of their friends had gathered to offer congratulations and wish them a successful journey through life. At 8:30 p.m. an elaborate supper was served, the caterer being Mr. L. Osborne of Ogden, who, by the way, is an artest [sic] in this line and knows well how to tickle the people's palate. The wedding cake was a marvel of design which everyone admired.
    After supper there were a number of recitations, songs and comic speeches given by the guests which revealed some remarkable talent. After this the large rooms were cleared and dancing was begun, some thirty couples participating and at break of day the tired but happy guests repaired to their homes all voting the event one of the pleasantest ever held in this burg. Among those present were Mr. Peterson and daughter, of Ogden; Mr. and Mrs. Hickinlooper, of Pleasant View; Mrs. Mattenson, Payson; Mr. and Mrs. T. J. Torbonson, Miss May Cottam, of Snowville; Miss Annie Christenson, of Bear River; Mr. and Mrs. T. Burnhope, Judge and Mrs. Murphey, Mr. and Mrs. L. A. Nelson, Mr. and Mrs. T. G. Brown, Mr. and Mrs. O.

    4. Farm was divided in two, and one part 4A was sold to Poul Pedersen 29 Jul 1867, and 4Y sold to Anders Pedersen. See Family Search for this individual to see an old photo of the family farm. The farm was originally called Røjkjærand was bought about 1838 by our ancestor Peder Poulsen who died there in 1874. He apparently split the farm between two of his sons into Vester (West) and Oester (East) Røjkjær. The Vester farm would be in front of the house and the Oester would be more or less behind the house. This location was always used in church records and even tombstones for the family. The Vester farm went to the son Anders and the Oester farm went to Poul Pedersen, who was our ancestor who came to America. He apparently sold his half of the farm to pay for his way to America. The Vester farm remained with the Anders side and is in the hands of the Stephansen family who are descendants of Anders. The last resident of the farm was Poul Richardt Pedersen, who died in 2014 as a bachelor. Two years before he died, he sold the farm to the Stephansens, who are across the road at Ydbyvej 34. Claus is the current resident of the Stephansen farm and his parents Kaj and Ragnhild live in Hurup as of 2016.

    5. Article in the "Orem Daily Journal," 17 May 2000: "150 years ago, Mormon missionaries arrived in the country of Denmark. In time more than 18,000 Danes had converted to the LDS Church and sailed for Utah. At the time these newly converted Mormons left Denmark, the people were usually happy to see them go, as the Mormons were not generally welcome there and were subject to persecution...40% of Utah's population could trace their ancestry back to Denmark..." Two sculptures are dedicated this year to celebrate the sesquicentennial: "Kristina" at the Copenhagen harbor and "The Family: The Mormon Emigrants" at the entrance to Rebild National Park.

Anna who start this website said that the Danish people lived on the east side of Washington street and the Italians lived on the west side. East Lynne addition is next to the Danish Bishop property, who she believed drew a lot Danish people to this area. East Lynne was basically a large block east of Washington Blvd. at Five Points in the area between E. 200 S. St. and E. 3rd St. and Jefferson Ave. and Madison Ave. Frank Petersen, my grandfather and Paul's grandson lived just five blocks south on E. 8th S. St.

    Verse 1
    "Would you like to go to heaven to the home of peace,
    Would you like to live in God's new Jerusalem,
    Would you like to go to a wedding, then ready the lamp,
    Hurry as long as you still have mercy.
    Verse 2
    "Remember that your salvation has cost Jesus' blood,
    Therefore shake your laziness with quick-spirited mood,
    Do you want to go to heaven, you may work for it,
    There is no time to waste.
    Verse 3
    "If the world offers you food, don't take it,
    If it offers you rest, then say no,
    You are priced too high to be wasted,
    By being the world's friend.
    Verse 4
    "If the world offers you its hand, don't take it,
    The world's friendship is not fit for you any more,
    Shake everything away,

    OBITUARY:
    1. "Peterson. - In Lynne Ward, Weber County, Utah, May 9th, 1885, at four o'clock a.m., after a lingering illness of twelve years, Frederikke Louisa Peterson, aged 45 years and 3 months. She has been a resident of Utah for 6 years, and leaves a husband, 5 children, and a host of friends to mourn her loss. Deceased is a sister of our esteemed citizens James and Hans Westergaard, of Harrisville. The wife of our friend James gave birth to a boy baby three weeks ago, since which time she has been confined to her bed, but was on a very fair way of recovery and was considered out of all danger, but the shock of her sister-in-law's death, disturbed her mind, and although, at six o'clock p.m., she ate a hearty supper and nursed her babe, at 6:30 she took a congestive chill and death seized her in a moment. There being no one present but Miss Margaret Fisher, who had been hired to wait on the house during her sickness. Her husband was in Ogden at the time, arranging for the burial of his sister. The screams of the children soon brought in a few neighbors, and some men travelers who were journeying from Payson to Snake River. Deceased, whose name was Mary Westergaard, was born in Haderilew, Denmark. She came to Utah 12 years ago, and was, at the time of her death, 37 years, 1 month and 3 days old. She leaves a husband, five children and legion of friends to mourn her loss. The funeral obsequies were conducted by Biship P.G. Taylor, at the residence of the deceassed, on Monday, May 11, 1885. Singing by the ward choir under the leadership of R.D. Brown, jun. The speakers were Bishop P.G. Taylor, Counselor W.C. Rawson and Elder Peter Later, who spoke of the good qualities of deceased as a kind mother, a dutiful wife, and a peaceable neighbor. The funeral was quite large, and upon arriving at Lynne, a double funeral cortege was found, with the corpse of her deceased sister-in-law and family and friends, the funeral services of which had been conducted by Counselor R. Christopherson, of Lynne. Mr. Peter Thorstead, of Lynne, decorated the graves with wreaths of beautiful flowers. P.L., Harrisville, May 13th, 1885." No newspaper given but published date is given as Thurs., 14 May 1885, vol. V, no. 11 with clipping - probably of Ogden; Harrisville is suburb of Ogden; statement of 5 children for Frederikke appears to be newspaper error.]

    BIOGRAPHY:
    1. Sketch of the Life of Mary Ann Burnhope Wallace [see her notes for full citation]: "I was born April 24, 1835 at Hexham, Northumberland Co., England. My parents, Isaac Burnhope and Elizabeth Charlton, were of English birth and of Protestant and Catholic faith, until the year 1847 when they with their seven children were baptized into the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. My father, when a young man, enlisted in the British Army. He was bought off, ran away and joined the army, served his time and then worked at freighting. After his marriage he was a section foreman on the railroad. My mother was a housekeeper in the families of the nobility for fifteen years previous to her marriage. My ancestors were foresters and brewers... My parents, with my brother, Thomas, and sister, Betsy, came to Salt Lake City from England in the summer of 1868. They lived with us and in February 1869 father died with erysipelas. Mother was very sick with the dreadful disease, but recovered..."

    2. Thomas and Mary Ann's granddaughter Mary Lucile Burnhope wrote her several very detailed and descriptive biographies of several dozen pages from June 1969 through July 1988. I have copies on file of which some details of genealogical interest I here relate. She notes the family would take the train to Ogden for Christmas at her grandparents Thomas and Mary Ann Burnhope's home of which she relates: "Their home at 2264 Madison Avenue was a two story house with an open staircase leading to the upstairs. Grandma's parlor had beautiful English furniture and trinkets from England that were not to be touched, but we could look at them with our hands behind our back. Except for Christmas and very special occasions the parlor was closed. The house was heated with coal stoves, but they did have electric lights and a real bathroom which was a new experience for me. I liked to play on the stairs most of all. My cousins, the Petersens were always there too. They lived in Ogden not far from our grandparents. My Aunt Mary Ann Petersen was my father's only sister, and father was her only brother. They were very close at this time and we always had a wonderful time when we were all at Grandma's house. One event that I always looked forward to at my grandparent's house was on Christmas Eve. After our stockings were all hung up for Santa Claus we had stories, and then Grandma treated us to their English Christmas Eve traditional ceremony. Grandma and grandpa Burnhope were both born in England and lived there until they joined the LDS church and sailed for America in 1868. They met in Ogden and were married in the LDS Endowment House in Salt Lake City on Nov. 18, 1872. There were some English traditions that they continued to enjoy. Grandma would fill a plate with large seeded raisins and pour a small amount of brandy over the top of them. Then grandpa would strike a match and set fire to the raisins and brandy. The flames would go up about a foot. Then each person had to try to get a raisin or two out of the flames. We all succeeded because the fire didn't seem to be hot. The raisins were delicious. When we finished the raisins we had English Christmas cake and a very tiny (about one inch high) glass of what Grandma called her own English wine. I don't know how she made it but it was good. Then the children were sent to bed while the parents and grandparents played checkers and chess until the wee hours. These trips to Ogden were so special. After Grandma died in May 1919 we never again had our English Chrismas Eve. Then Grandpa Burnhope came to live with us in Bothwell until he died in March 1922."

    3. "Thomas Charlton Burnhope. 22 Feb 1845-31 Mar 1922. Utah Pioneer.
    "The life of Thomas Charlton Burnhope is taken from a transcript written by his son Isaac Burnhope in January 1942, and "Sketch of the Life of my Father Isaac Burnhope," written by his daughter Lucile B Swenson (1961), US Censuses of 1880,1900,1910,1920, family research notes of Kerry Petersen (great great grandson), "Sketch of the Life of Mary Ann Burnhope Wallace" (sister), obituaries, and "The Mormon Immigration Index."
    "My father Thomas Charlton Burnhope, was born February 22, 1845, at West Bolden, Durham County, England, to Isaac and Elizabeth Charlton Burnhope, the sixth in a family of seven children. His parents, Isaac Burnhope and Elizabeth Charlton, were of English birth and Protestant and Catholic faith, until the year 1847 when they were baptized into the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
    "He joined the LDS Church when he was 18 years of age. Charles Benson baptized him in November 1863.
    "He also served in the British Army and worked for the railroad as his father did. He was first a tailor working for his brother's tailor shop, but the railroad was his choice. He was a locomotive fireman and near the point of being promoted to engineer at the time, he left England for America."
    When Thomas was 23 years of age he, with his parents and his sister Elizabeth (Betsy) sailed from Liverpool, England on the sailing ship "John Bright'. Departure was on June 4, 1868 with financial assistance of the Perpetual Immigration Fund of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. On arriving in New York on 14 July 1868, the next day they were conveyed westward by railroad to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, to Chicago, and then to Laramie, Wyoming via Omaha. The Union Pacific Railroad had reached Laramie, Wyoming in May 1868, just a month more or less before the time the Burnhope family left England. Laramie Wyoming was the western terminus of the Union Pacific Railroad and the temporarily outfitting place for the journey across the mountains with teams. They arrived in Laramie, Wyoming, August 23, 1868. They crossed the plains from Laramie to Utah on July 27 1868 with the John R Murdoch Company wagon train pulled by mule teams, entering Salt Lake City, Utah 19 August 1868, seventy-seven days since departing England. "The fare from the railroad terminus to Salt Lake City was $29.00 which the immigrant was required to pay later."
    Mary Ann Burnhope Wallace writes: " My parents, with my brother, Thomas, and sister, Betsy, came to Salt Lake City from England in the summer of 1868. They lived with us and in February 1869 father died with erysipelas. Mother was very sick with the dreadful disease, but recovered."
    The wagon trains and ox teams were discontinued after the Central Pacific and the Union Pacific railroads met at Promontory, Utah, May 10, 1869.
    Thomas's father, Isaac Burnhope (born 15 November 1808 at Hexham, Northumberland, England) is buried in the Salt Lake City Cemetery. His mother Elizabeth Charlton (born 21 September 1806 at Heddon-on-the-Wall, Northumberland, England) remarried to Nicholas Boak, lived in Spanish Fork, Utah until her death on 13 April 1887. She is buried in Spanish Fork, Utah.
    "After arriving in Salt Lake City, Utah he did several odd jobs and when the Union Pacific Railroad started out of Ogden, Utah for San Francisco, California he got a job laying track up Promontory Hill. Then came the great day of the Golden Spike driven at Promontory, May 10, 1869. This is not the Promontory Point where the Southern Pacific runs now but over the hill. Thomas was in Promontory for the driving of the Golden Spike. From there he went back to Ogden and got a job on the Utah Central Railroad, another track-laying job.
    Thomas met Mary Ann Osborne (born 27 March 1844 at Mulgrave Place, Woolwich, Kent, England and the daughter of Cornelius and Harriet Elizabeth Morgan Osborne) in Ogden, Utah and they were married in the Endowment House in Salt Lake City, November 18, 1872. They would have seven children, Isaac, 7 September 1873, Mary Ann, 14 October 1876, and five stillborn babies. "Thomas worked at the sawmills in Ogden Canyon for lumber to build a small house."
    "Then Thomas quit the mill job and went back to the railroad, this time for the Central Pacific, you see by this time, after the Golden Spike was driven, the Central Pacific came through to Ogden" About 1878 they moved to Terrace, Utah, 124 miles from Ogden, Utah, coaling engines for the Central Pacific Railroad. The method of coaling Engines at the time was a rather slow one. It was done with a derrick and buckets that held 1000 lbs. of coal each and two Chinamen wound the derrick by hand. It took about 5 minutes, to raise one bucket, another Chinaman stood on the Tender to dump the bucket when it got to him, and another stayed on the ground to pull the derrick around by means of a 20-foot rope.
    "Companies only paid every 2 months. Terrace was a railroad town with all its big shops there and a supply center for miners and ranchers, and when payday came around it was a real lively place. Gamblers would come in from everywhere, there was plenty of whiskey and guns and sometimes they did not work together so well. Terrace was a real Wild West town when the miners, cowboys, gamblers and railroad men all got together half lit up on firewater. Any where from 50 to 75 cowpunchers shooting and yelling things got hot. One time I remember the fire department got out and turned the hose on to quiet them down."
    "The spring of 1885 the family moved to Promontory, Utah, on top of the hill. Trains had to be helped over the hill both ways, there were about ten families at the station. "The 1900 census shows the Thomas Burnhope family living in Promontory, Utah and lists his occupation as Railroad Laborer. Their children were married during this time Isaac to Annie Marie Christensen 18 November 1896 (his parent's anniversary) and Mary Ann to Peter Peterson, 23 September 1897.
    The Ogden Standard Examiner (25 June 1907) lists a building permit issued to Thomas Burnhope for a frame dwelling on Madison Avenue .Lucile Burnhope Swenson describes her grandparents home . "Their home at 2264 Madison Avenue was a two story house with an open staircase leading to the upstairs. Grandma's parlor had beautiful English furniture and trinkets from England that was not to be touched. The house was heated with coal stoves but they did have electric lights and a real bathroom which was a new experience for me." The 1910 United States Census has Thomas and Mary Ann Burnhope living in Ogden, Utah at 2264 Madison Avenue, this would be their residence for the remainder of their lives together.
    Thomas Burnhope became a naturalized citizen of the United States of America on 22 December 1908 in Ogden, Utah. He worked for and retired from the Southern Pacific Railroad, he drew small pension from the Railroad. His last check, for nineteen dollars and twenty-five cents was returned to the railroad. Mary Ann Osborne died 15 May 1919 in Ogden, Utah she is buried in the Ogden City Cemetery near some of her babies.
    The 1920 census has Thomas Burnhope living in Ogden with his son-in-law Peter Petersen. For the last eighteen months of his life, he lived with his son Isaac Burnhope in Bothwell, Utah until his death, 31 March 1922, He is buried next to his wife of 50 years.
    His grandson Thomas Donald Burnhope wrote in his memoirs, "Grandfather Burnhope came to live with us, we became the best of pals, and we played horseshoes and hunted birds and rabbits. Grandpa was a quoit pitcher back in England, ('kwat, similar to horse shoes in which a ring of iron or rope is thrown towards a pin), his sight was poor so we tied a white rag on the pegs, and he never missed putting on a ringer.."

    2. 18 Feb 1829 estate of father Poul Andersen and 12 Jun 1829 probate records of same with translation on file with Kerry Petersen.

    3. Vestervig parish register: Moving out 14 May 1827, Peder Poulsen, 29, born in Heliigsoe, and Anne Kierstine Andersdatter, age 29, born in Vestervig. Left for Kirkegaard in Hurup (the name of the farm by the church). Hurup register indicates moving in from Vestervig 21 June 1827, Peder Poulsen, 29, and Ane Kierstine Andersdatter, 29.

    4. During 18 Feb 1829 probate of the estate of his father in Helligsø, Peder is listed as 32 and a farmer in Hurup. Probate court met again 12 Jun 1829 wherein Peder took over the guardianship of his unmarried sister Else Kirstine.

    5. Family moved from Hurup to Vestervig 20 Apr 1838 per entry in "Move-ins" parish records of Vestervig, Thisted, Denmark GS 9935 pt 3. Copy in files of Kerry Petersen. Lists children and ages. Jens Andersen sold Roikjar to Peder Poulsen 5 Apr 1838. Translation and valuation of deed in files of Kerry Petersen.

    4. The family farm was known as Roikjergaard or Roikjer farm. It was purchased by Peder Poulsen in 1849. In 1841 it belonged to Jens Andersen. Farm was divided in two, and one part 4A was sold to Poul Pedersen 29 Jul 1867, and 4Y sold to Anders Pedersen. See Family Search for this individual to see an old photo of the family farm. The farm was originally called Røjkjærand was bought about 1838 by our ancestor Peder Poulsen who died there in 1874. He apparently split the farm between two of his sons into Vester (West) and Oester (East) Røjkjær. The Vester farm would be in front of the house and the Oester would be more or less behind the house. This location was always used in church records and even tombstones for the family. The Vester farm went to the son Anders and the Oester farm went to Poul Pedersen, who was our ancestor who came to America. He apparently sold his half of the farm to pay for his way to America. The Vester farm remained with the Anders side and is in the hands of the Stephansen family who are descendants of Anders. The last resident of the farm was Poul Richardt Pedersen, who died in 2014 as a bachelor. Two years before he died, he sold the farm to the Stephansens, who are across the road at Ydbyvej 34. Claus is the current resident of the Stephansen farm and his parents Kaj and Ragnhild live in Hurup as of 2016.

    BIOGRAPHY:
    1. Copy of original letter in Danish in my possession. I was able to have the FHL Danish experts in SLC roughly translate the letter. Unfortunately the text is insignificant but the historical time frame of the letter is memorable. It starts off with: "To my dear sister Else Marie Andersdatter on her 70th birthday, 24 Apr 1865" and is signed "Your loving sister, Ane Kjerstine Andersdatter, Røjkjær." The text is a poem not easily translatable with each stanza giving an example of a witness to "God's goodness" i.e. "Flowers and birds witness to God's goodness." The last paragraph after the poem becomes personal with the comment: "Dear Sister, by friend you are as gold in light and need let us strive in live to remember to follow til our deaths ... shout always my good God."

    Notes:

    RESEARCH_NOTES:
    1. Censuses:
    1870 US: Judging from this statement of her son Jens, she would appear to most likely be in Mt. Pleasant but she is not with the Swen Olsen family. Statement: "Went to Salt Lake City, took a trip to San Pete to visit my mother and my sister. I was back in Ogden by the first of April 1869 then went back to work on the railroad till it was completed. (See below for full quotation.)" One possibility however may be this entry in Mt. Pleasant 4th Ward, Sanpete, Utah, p. 83b, household 86, family 80, living by herself about 45 families away from her daughter Maren:
    Annie Christian, 55, keeping house, $300 real estate, $250 personal property, Den.

    1880 US: Fred Westergard per his email of 2 Feb 2003 indicates that he searched the US 1880 census for the Harrisville, 4th Ward of Ogden, and Mount Pleasant enumeration districts looking for Ane Kjerstine Jensdatter. The only one that looked close was Annie M. Jensen several doors after Swen Olson and Maren Christensen Westergard in Mt. Pleasant; however the age is not right and it appears to be a long shot that this is even the correct one. A look at the actual microfilm needs to be done. Also doing a full search in Weber and Sanpete counties of all "Annies" or variation of that name with a 10 year search either side of an 1812 birth in Denmark found the following:
    Anna Christensen living alone in Fairview, Sanpete, UT age 67 of Denmark.

    4. In my files, I have a copy of "Emerald Isle Journals" prepared by Fred Westergard for the 2002 Westergard reunion. Using various sources, Fred has collected excerpts of the journals of various passengers who were on the same voyage from Denmark as was Ane Kjerstine Jensdatter (56) and her two sons, Jens (23) and Hans (18). These journals are too lengthy for this database, but I do herein summarize some pertinent information. (Also note that Fred prepared a similar typescript called "Kenilworth Journals" for Maren Westergard Olson of which I also have a copy on file.) They followed Maren (who sailed in 1866) by sailing from Copenhagen, Denmark on 13 Jun 1868 on the "Hansia or Hansa" arriving on 16 Jun 1868 at Kingston upon Hull, England. Owing to the large company on board they were very much crowded for space. From this point and in the evening of the same day they traveled by rail to Liverpool, England. Here they found accommodations in seven different hotels, where they, with the exception of one place, received anything but decent treatment because they had had next to nothing to eat. On 20 Jun 1868 they boarded the 1736 ton clipper sailing ship "Emerald Isle," commanded by a Captain Gillespie. They had a half day wait on the wharf because the carpenters had not completed their labors in making temporary berths for the passengers. Elder Hans Jensen Hals, and his counselors Elders James Smith and John Fagerberg presided over the company of 876 Saints (627 from Scandinavia and the rest from the British Isles). On June 26th the "Emerald Isle" sailed into the harbor of Queenstown to take fresh water on board, as a certain machine on the vessel used to distill seawater for culinary purposes was out of commission and could not speedily be repaired. On the 29th the ship left Queenstown, Ireland, but the voyage after that was anything but pleasant. This emigrating company of saints probably had the worst treatment of all emigrating companies because of lewdness of the crew and the stagnant water that caused much sickness. Fortunately it was the last company of Scandinavian Saints which crossed the Atlantic in a sailing vessel. From that time on only steamers were employed in the transportation of the Saints. No less than 37 deaths occurred on the voyage. Many of these, however, were caused by measles among the children, but the stagnant water, which all the passengers had to use, was undoubtedly the real cause of the heavy death rate. One comment by Hans Jorgenson about the "Emerald Isle" passage illustrates the general feeling expressed in most of the journals: "The treatment we had on board said vessel was anything but human. The captain and crew showed themselves as rough and mean towards us (especially Danish) as they could and the provisions did not by any means come up to the bargain. The shortest I can say about it is that this treatment was something like the Danish prisoners received in the 1807-1814. I for my part can never think on the deadly "Emerald Isle" but with the greatest disgust and hatred." The Saints held multiple meetings during the sabbath days in different parts of the ship and were divided into 13 wards, each with a presiding elder. Occasionally a dance would be held on deck. Schools were started in which the English were to teach the Scandinavians to read and speak the English language. They arrived in New York harbor on 11 Aug 1868 and after 3 days quarantine, landed at Castle Garden on 14 Aug 1868. On the same day a steamer conveyed the emigrants a few miles up the Hudson River, where they found shelter in a warehouse for a couple of days, while their baggage was being weighed by the railway station. On the 17th the journey was resumed by railway from New York and the emigrants traveled via Niagara, Detroit, and Chicago to Council bluffs where they arrived on the 21st. They stopped at Niagara and were able to see the falls. The following day, they were taken across the Missouri River on a rainy day by a steamboat and thence they traveled in cattle cars on the Union Pacific railroad to the end of the line arriving the morning of 25 Aug in Benton, Wyoming about 700 miles west from Omaha. Here the Church teams met the emigrants and took them to their camp on the Platte River, about six miles from Benton. On 31 Aug 1868, they began the rest of trip to Salt Lake City, Utah by church ox team of 62 wagons in Captain John G. Holman's company via Muddy Gap, Three Crossings, and the rest of the original Mormon Trail. The English Saints traveling with mule teams could ride, while the Scandinavians traveling with slow ox teams, walked most of the way to Salt Lake City. Sickness continued to rage among the Scandinavian emigrants with about thirty dead between New York and Salt Lake City. Jens left the company when it reached present day Echo, Utah and went down Weber canyon to Ogden where he went to work for the railroad. They with the rest of the company of approximately 650 people arrived in Salt Lake City on 25 Sep 1868 at about 9 o'clock in the morning. They camped temporarily in the Tithing Yard. See FHL films: 025686 - Perpetual Emigration Fund; 298442 - Crossing the Plains Index; 25692 - BMR, Book #1048, pp. 322-332, 370; 175654 - Customs. In the same typescript, Fred included the following biography of James (Jens) Westergard written by a granddaughter as follows: "Granfather James C. Westergard. This is some history grandfather told me about and I wrote it down. I must have been in grade school. 'Mother, myself, and Hans left Denmark the first week of June 1868. Crossing the North Sea to England took three days. Took the railroad to Liverpool. We were in Leverpool a week when we boarded a sailing vessel for America. We were on the Atlantic Ocean eight weeks and four days. Many took sick and 43 died on the ocean. We landed in New York 27 or 26 of June. We had a terrible storm at sea. We were in New York eleven days. Then took the railroad to Benton, Wyo. which was then the end of the U.P. railroad. Traveled 500 miles in 5 weeks when we landed in Utah. I left the company at Echo, Utah, 23 Sept. and went down to Weber Canyon to work on the railroad. I worked there a week before Christmas. Went to Salt Lake City, took a trip to San Pete to visit my mother and my sister. I was back in Ogden by the first of April 1869 then went back to work on the railroad till it was completed. After the railroad was completed all the white men were discharged except the foreman. They hired Chinamen. I went back to Omaha, Neb. Got work on the railroad again and worked two years. 17 Apr 1871, I married Mary Holst. In the spring of 1871 we left Omaha and went to Carbon, Wyo. working there for the Wyo. Coal Co. Was there a year. We moved back to Utah and bought a farm of 20 acres near North Ogden, Utah.'"

    "Scandinavian Emigration-1868
    "Our Pioneer Heritage," Vol. 12, p. 7-9.
    "Emigration From Denmark-1868" published in the Scandinavian Star:
    Saturday, June 13, 1868, 630 emigrants left Copenhagen with the steamship Hansia, and arrived in Hull, England, Tuesday the 16th. The same evening they took passage on the railroad for Liverpool. Upon arriving there, they were housed in seven hotels where they were poorly treated. On the 19th they went on board the sailship, the Emerald Isle. There were 627 Scandinavians and 250 English emigrants under the direction of Elder Hans Jensen Hals as president, and counsellors J. Smith and John Forsberg, with Elder Peter Hansen acting as provision dealer. Arriving at Queenstown, they remained three days, which proved anything but pleasant, as the emigrants were roughly treated by the ship's crew. Seldom have Latter-day Saints suffered as much as did those who were the last to cross the Atlantic with sailships.
    It was not only the rough handling of the Saints that made it so unpleasant and hard to bear, but the water became so rank that it caused many of the emigrants to sicken and die. In all, thirty-seven died, most of them children, from measles and bad water.
    The ship anchored in New York Harbor, August 11th, and was quarantined for three days, where they were inspected, and thirty of the sick were taken to Staten Island for treatment, and the rest were taken to Castle Garden, Aug. 14th. On the same day, the company sailed on a steamboat for the Hudson River, where they were stationed for two days while the baggage was weighed. While there a boy died. On the 17th, the railroad journey began from New York to Niagara Falls, Detroit, Chicago and Council Bluffs. They journeyed on the Union Pacific to Benton, 700 miles west of Omaha, arriving on the morning of the 25th. Here they were met by the Church wagons that took them to the Platte River, two miles from Benton. There they stayed until August 31.
    The travel-weary Saints were still besieged with sickness, and thirty more gave up their lives between New York and Salt Lake City. The remainder of the emigrants arrived in Salt Lake City September 25, 1868.
    This company concluded the emigration from Europe by sailship and oxteam. The hard journey to Zion, which so many of Norden's sons and daughters had passed through, was now a thing of the past. It was not any too soon that a change took place, for hundreds and hundreds of the 19th century's best men and women who had left their fatherland, relatives and friends for the Gospel's sake, according to the counsel of God, to go to Zion, offered up their lives through hardships. Many of them became so weak they despaired reaching their destination, fearing they would either be sunk in the sea or go to sleep on the big prairie, their lonely graves watched by howling wolves instead of their dear ones. How often had fond parents closed their eyes on their loved ones when at last given up to die, and how many gray-haired veterans, whose fond hopes and longing for Zion had to be given up.
    Those who survived will never forget those sorrowful days, when without coffins they had to bury their loved ones in the wilderness; while they through weakness were hardly able to fulfill the last rites. While hovering between life and death, they did not know who would be the next victim. (End of quote.)
    Starting of Wagon Trains.-The following trains started from Laramie City, at the dates named, with immigrants: Captains Rawlins' and Loveland's trains left July 25th; Captain Murdock's on the 27th, and Captain Haight's on the 28th, with the passengers that came by the Minnesota and John Bright, 1,250 in number. Captain Seeley's train left August 1st, with the Williamsburg passengers, and freight. The first of the trains may reach this city by Saturday or Sunday, though it is difficult to say exactly, since no information has reached yet of their striking the road where a telegraph station is; and the first they would come to, on the road they will most likely travel, would be at Bear River.
    Since writing the above, the following telegram has been received from Captain Murdock:
    Fort Bridger, Aug. 13, 1868.
    President Brigham Young:-My train is on the way in good condition. Be at Salt Lake the 20th. J. R. Murdock
    We are indebted to President Young for the following telegram: New York, Sept. 28, 1868. President B. Young:-I arrived this morning. The company start October 3d, and will reach the terminus in ten days. H. B. Clawson.
    The company alluded to are those who had to be left in hospital at New York, sick. There are nearly sixty of them, in charge of Elder Frederick G. Anderson. -Deseret News"

    "Narratives of the Emigration from the Scandinavian Mission 1852-1868 from excerpts of the "History of the Scandinavian Mission," by Andrew Jenson, pp. 204-205:
    "In 1868 a strong effort was made in Zion to gather means to assist the poor Saints who wished to emigrate and large sums of money were sent to the British Islands to assist members of the Church to this end, especially faithful Saints of many years standing. Besides this, the Church sent for the last time teams out to the terminus of the Union Pacific Railroad to bring them thence across the deserts and mountains. Although scarcely any of the means collected was applied to assist the poor from Scandinavia, goodly number (820) souls emigrated from the Scandinavian countries in 1868, viz: 544 Danes, 209 Swede and 63 Norwegians; also 4 German emigrants. Of the above-named number 10 Swedish Saints sailed from Goteborg May 29, 1868, by the steamer "Hero" in charge of Elder Christoffer C. Folkmann, arriving in Hull, England, May 31st. Here they were joined by a small company of Danish Saints in charge of Elder Carl Widerborg and along with these continued the journey to Liverpool by railroad. On the evening of the next day (June 1st) Elder Carl C. A. Christensen arrived in Liverpool with some emigrating Saints from Nor. way, about 50 in number. They had sailed from Christiania by steamer for England, where they joined the main body of emigrating Saints from Scandinavia. On June 3rd all went on board the ship "John Bright" (Capt. John Towart). Elder James McGaw was appointed president of the company, of which 17 were Scandinavian and more than five hundred British Saints. Christoffer O. Folkmann and Fred C. Anderson were chosen for assistant presidents. The Scandinavian Saints, who were located on the lower deck, were placed under Elder Carl C. A. Christensen's special charge. The "John Bright" sailed from Liverpool June 4th. It was intended that the emigrants this year should have crossed the Atlantic by steamers, but on account of the high price demanded for steamship passage, the voyage had to be made by sailing vessels as in previous years, so that those of only limited means could be accommodated. During the voyage there was very little sickness, and only an aged sister from England, who was sick when she went on board, died. A Swedish couple were married during the voyage. The captain was very kind and obliging towards the Saints. The company arrived safely in New York July 13th and on the following day was conveyed by railroad westward. The emigrants traveled via Chicago and Omaha, and on the Union Pacific Railroad to Laramie City. The fare from New York to Omaha was $14 and to the terminus on the Plains $35, but those who would stop to labor on the Union Pacific Railroad were conveyed all the way for $14 The company arrived at Laramie, 579 miles from Omaha, July 23rd. A, that time, Laramie City was the western terminus of the Union Pacific Railroad, and also, temporarily, the outfitting place for the journey across the mountains with teams. Here the emigrants met the Church teams and most of the Scandinavian Saints went with Captain Horton D. Haight's company, which left Laramie July 27th, and arrived in Salt Lake City August 24, 1868.
    Elder Folkmann acted as leader of the Scandinavians in this company and also as chaplain for the whole company. Two Swedish emigrants died on the journey across the mountains. Elder Carl C. A. Christensen, together with some Norwegian Saints crossed the Plains with Captain John R. Murdock's company, which left Laramie a little before Captain Haight's company and arrived in Salt Lake City August 19th. The fare by the Church teams from the railroad terminus to Salt Lake Cit. was $29, which the emigrants were required to pay later.
    About 630 emigrants left Copenhagen by the steamer "Hansia," June 13, 1868. On the departure the brethren had considerable trouble with the police authorities in Copenhagen. After a successful voyage across the North Sea, the company arrived in Hull, England, on Tuesday, June 16th, and in the evening of the same day they went by train to Liverpool. Here they found accommodations in seven different hotels, where they, with the exception of one place, received anything but decent treatment; and when they on the 19th went on board the ship "Emerald Isle," they were insulted most every imaginable way. On the 20th the ship sailed from Liverpool, carrying a company of emigrants consisting of 877 souls, of whom 627 were Scandinavians, all in charge of Elders Hans Jensen (Hals) as president with James Smith and John Fagerberg as assistants. Elder Peter Hansen was appointed commissary for the Scandinavians, and Elder Mons Pedersen who had labored faithfully for four years in the mission office in Copenhagen, was chosen as secretary. Eighteen other Scandinavian emigrants sailed this year by other ships, some of them from Hamburg and some from Norway.
    On June 26th the "Emerald Isle" sailed into the harbor of Queenstown to take fresh water on board, as a certain machine on the vessel used to distill seawater for culinary purposes was out of commission and could not speedily be repaired. While the ship waited at Queenstown Elders Hans Jensen (Hale) and James Smith had an excellent opportunity to accompany the captain on a railway trip to Cork. On the 29th the ship left Queenstown, but the voyage after that was anything but pleasant. The emigrants received very rough and harsh treatment, both from officers and crew, and only by the strong protest of Elder Hans Jensen (Hale) in their behalf did they succeed in getting a part of their rights according to the contract made. On one occasion, when one of the ship's mates attacked a sister by the name of Sander, Brother Jensen took hold of the mate and pulled him away, while sharply reproving him for his conduct. Soon a lot of sailors came up ready for a fight, but the incident ended when the offender got a severe reprimand from the captain, whom Brother Jensen reminded of the promises made. No other company of emigrating Saints from Scandinavia are known to have met with such bad treatment as this on board any ship in crossing the Atlantic Ocean. Fortunately it was the last company of Scandinavian Saints which crossed the Atlantic in a sailing vessel. From that time on only steamers were employed in the transportation of the Saints. It was not alone the rough treatment which the emigrants received from the ship's crew that made the voyage so unpleasant, but the water taken on board at Queenstown soon became stagnant and unfit for use, causing much sickness among the passengers, and no less than 37 deaths occurred on the voyage. Many of these, however, were caused by measles among the children, but the stagnant water which all the passengers had to use was undoubtedly the real cause of the heavy death rate.
    On August 11th the ship arrived at the entrance of New York harbor and 30 of the sick were taken ashore on Staten Island. The following day, (August 12th) eight other sick people were landed, and finally, alter being held in quarantine three days, the rest of the emigrants were landed at Castle Garden, August 14th. On the same day a steamer conveyed the emigrants a few miles up the Hudson River, where they, found shelter in a warehouse for couple of days, while their baggage was being weighed. While staying there a boy belonging to the company died. On the 17th the journey was resumed by railway from New York and the emigrants traveled via Niagara, Detroit and Chicago to Council Bluffs, where they arrived on the 21st. The following day, (August 22nd) they were taken across the Missouri River by a steam boat and thence they traveled by the Union Pacific Railroad to Benton seven hundred miles west of Omaha arriving there in the morning of August 25th. Here the Church team; met the emigrants and took them to their camp on the Platte River, about six miles from Benton, where they remained till August 31st, when the Scandinavian Saints took up the journey across the- mountains by ox train led by Captain John G. Holman, while the English emigrant; about the same time left by mule teams. Elder Hiram B. Clawson acted this year as emigration agent for the Church. The English Saints traveling with mule teams could ride while the Scandinavians traveling with slow ox-teams, walked most of the way to Salt Lake City. Sickness continuing to rage among the, Scandinavian emigrants, about thirty died between New York and Salt Lake City, where the surviving part of this, the 28th, company of emigrating Saints from Scandinavia arrived on the 25th of September, 1868."

    8. The book "Scandinavians to Zion: From the Old World to the New World Excerpts from Homeward to Zion," by William Mulder has the following concerning the history of the Mormon Scandinavian Emigration 1854-1868 to the United States from. The first family member to emigrate in 1866 was Maren Christensen, the sister of our ancestor Frederikke Lovise Christensen. She was on the ship "Kenilworth" of British registry, 987 tons, Master J. Brown, 684 Mormon passengers, 52 day passage with 25 May 1866 departure from Hamburg and 16 Jul 1666 arrival to New York City, with S. Sprague as group leader. Ane Kjerstine Jensdatter, widow of Enevold Christensen, came in 1868 (the last year before the completion of the transcontinental train) with here two sons. They were registered as Anna K. Westergaard, age 56, Aalborg Conference, born at Kjerstrup, with her sons Hans and Jens Chr. Westergaard. They were on the ship "Emerald Isle" of U.S. Registry, 1736 tons, Master Gillespie, 876 LDS passengers, 55 day passage with 20 Jun 1868 departure from Liverpool and 14 Aug 1868 arrival to New York City, with H. Hals as group leader. There are a couple of key parts in the following transcript pertaining specifically to the "Emerald Isle" and its group of LDS Saints which I highlight in { }:
    "THOUGH WE HAD OUR TROUBLES ON THE JOURNEY, NOW EVERY HEART SWELLED WITH JOY TO SEE THE SNOW-COVERED MOUNTAINS AND BEAUTIFUL VALLEY..."[1]
    "Only good news came back from the handful of emigrants who had left Copenhagen early in 1852. The Italy had brought the "little flock" from Liverpool to New Orleans by May 10 "all well in body and spirit." They had proceeded up the Mississippi and Missouri rivers to Kanesville, Iowa, where they had joined a large encampment of Saints getting ready to cross the plains. In July Erastus Snow had caught up with them and, as part of Captain Eli B. Kelsey's ox train of one hundred fifty wagons, had led them into the Salt Lake Valley on October 16 "They are all alive and well satisfied," Stjerne could tell its anxious readers, "and they urge their friends to follow them."[2]
    Their letters dissolved the worst fears about the hazards of the long journey and silenced the skeptics distrustful of conditions in Mormon landet, the rumor-ridden land of the Mormons. A few of the emigrants had already bought places to live and turned the first soil; Niels Jensen and his nephew Frederik Petersen were getting ready to build a pottery in the Second Ward, a parish soon to be known as "Little Denmark"; clerk Conrad Svanevelt's wife had a new baby, a girl they called Josephine Brighamine in honor of the prophets; the Rasmus Petersens were staying temporarily with Erastus Snow, turnabout for the time he had made his home with them in Denmark; tailor Wilhelm Knudsen looked forward to the arrival of his father's family with the Forsgren company and went north to the settlement at Box Elder to get ready for them; midwife Augusta Dorius married Henry Stevens and went south to Sanpete Valley, where Cecilia Jorgensen followed to become in time the plural wife of Hans Jensen Hals. It was a sad day when Stjerne had to report Svanevelt's defection, removal to California, and final return to Denmark, but a happy one when it could announce his reunion with the Saints.[3] So ran the news about the five families, six bachelors, and four spinsters who were the forerunners of the hosts to come. They were never out of mind, though it was not until death that some of them figured again in the news from Zion: the obituary always remembered they were "one of the first twenty-eight," and that paid them the highest respect.
    An even greater watchfulness followed the adventures of the Forsgren company, which sailed from Liverpool on January 16, 1853 aboard the Forest Monarch, the Mayflower of the Mormon migration from Scandinavia. More characteristic of the future emigration in numbers and organization than the first group, the Forsgren pilgrims provided a more genuine test of the ability of Saints from the European mainland to make their way to Zion and establish themselves as equal citizens of the Kingdom. It was a long nine months before they could record in their journals: "September 30, 1853. This day we entered the Valley and camped in the center of the city." And it was a long way from Copenhagen, where in the previous December they had assembled to make preparations for the journey.[4]
    Some had to travel far to get to headquarters. As early as the first of August, Lars Poulsen and his family of six, who had sacrificed their farm at half its 5000 rigsdaler value, left their native island of Jegendo in an open boat to make their way down Lim Fjorden to Aalborg, only to find cholera raging, and they had to put up in a simple hut on the outskirts of the city. It was November before they reached Copenhagen, but in time to assist a number of hopeful converts to join the company. Christian Ipsen Munk, a cooper from the island of Bornholm, came to Ronne and crossed over to Copenhagen with his family weeks early to lodge with eight other emigrant families in the same house "in perfect harmony," a friendship that would keep several of them close neighbors in the settlements.
    At noon on December 20, the emigrants--199 adults and 95 children under twelve—boarded the steamer Obotrit amid "songs of praise and thanksgiving" from friends and jeers from the idle gathered on the wharf at Copenhagen. A stormy night forced the vessel into a Falster harbor for forty-eight hours, and it did not reach Kiel in Holstein until the evening of the 22nd. Kiel was but three hours by train to Hamburg, where the emigrants aroused "great curiosity" the next morning as they marched through the streets to their quarters, a large hall on the banks of the Elbe just outside the city. They found their fare a "palatable and well-cooked meal, tea and bread and butter," though they had to sleep on straw and chairs scattered the length of the building. Willard Snow, John Forsgren, and Daniel Garn, Mormon missionary in Hamburg, had dinner with Mr. Morris of the shipping firm, who spread "a good table." Morris & Co. furnished the emigrants their breakfast on the morning of the 24th and, after their customary songs and prayers, saw them aboard the English ship Lion bound for Hull. A newspaper account picturing the emigrants as "driven out of Scandinavia" and making it appear an "act of humanity" on Hamburg's part to permit them to land and re-embark, angered Snow as "insult" and "pretense," because "Mr. Morris had paid $20 for the privilege of landing the steamer," and "the Senate and police authorities had been trying for a long time to drive Bro. Garn out of the country."
    The company, reluctantly leaving an ailing "Sister Knudsen" behind, sailed down the Elbe in good spirits, rode out a fogbound Christmas Eve in Cuxhaven, and, buffeted by violent storms which strewed the North Sea with wrecks, finally dragged into Hull on the 28th. They crossed England the next day to Liverpool, where they were housed in a comfortable hotel, served a warm meal "immediately," and "taken good care of" until on December 31 they boarded the Forest Monarch, a "splendid sailing vessel" which had not carried passengers before; carpenters, in fact, were still installing the berths. "And thus," journalized Herman Julius Christensen, one of the emigrants, "the year 1852 ended with all its remarkable events. God be praised for the many blessings which he has bestowed upon his people."
    On New Year's Day two tenders towed the frigate out into the River Mersey, but it was another fifteen days before favoring winds took it out to sea, a layover which brought "murmurings and complaints" but which gave the company a chance to regulate its housekeeping: two were named to help in the galley, and three to deliver foodstuffs to it; thirteen "captains" were to distribute daily provisions and seven more to ration the water; and two were to supervise cleaning the quarters.
    Daily prayers and almost daily meetings permitted airing of feelings, provided inspiration and instruction, and established a pattern of general consent for conducting the emigrants' affairs: everything was ordered by vote. On January 11 when "the brethren and sisters raised their hands in agreement to live in harmony with each other," Willard Snow, who had settled with the Liverpool office, felt satisfied and returned to Copenhagen, leaving with the ship's officers a testimonial of his pleasure at the arrangements. Meanwhile, on January 7 and 8, the Forest Monarch received visitors newly arrived from Zion, among them Hans Peter Olson, on his way to fill a mission in Scandinavia, who "gave us good tidings of Zion, which caused us great joy." Dancing and games in the evening celebrated the occasion.
    At last, on January 16, with the weather fair, the Forest Monarch set out to sea and headed for New Orleans. The Saints observed the event by taking communion. Five marriages, two births, and three deaths had seen life come full cycle while they were still in port; and Jeppe Bentzen, bitten by a dog in Hamburg, had to be left behind in Liverpool with a badly infected leg.[5] It was not many days before foul weather tested the improvised berths, which creaked fearfully, some even tumbling down. Brother Hans Larsen fell and knocked an arm out of joint, the first in an epidemic of bad hurts and bruises as land legs failed to hold the unpredictable deck. Though seasickness was universal, on the whole the weather was calm, particularly as they approached the southern latitudes, and the Atlantic crossing pleasant
    Within four weeks they glimpsed the West Indies and it became too warm to hear daily discourses on the millennium, the resurrection, and the gathering of Israel, though not too warm for Christian Christiansen's violin. But Brother Holzhasen stayed away from meetings altogether, and gave himself to levity; it was proposed, seconded, and unanimously agreed that he should be cut off from the church for having turned "to worldly ways." And Brother Andersen and his wife, it came out, were not united. The Andersen asked forgiveness and hoped to be remembered in the prayers of the congregation. But by the time the Forest Monarch reached New Orleans on March 17, matters between them had gone from bad to worse, and they left the company. A greater loss was the five who died within sight of the promised land and were buried in port.
    At New Orleans, where customs officers mistook the emigrants for Irish laborers,[6] they bought fresh bread, but Elder Forsgren had to warn them not to go into the city, for the people were most ungodly.
    They gave Forsgren a vote of confidence and, pooling their means to enable everyone to go on, moved by steamboat upriver to St. Louis, marveling at the panorama of life along the Mississippi—the extensive forests, here and there being burned over for a clearing, the pleasant towns, the spring song of birds, the orchards in fairest bloom, the slaves working in the fields, where Negro women rode the ox-pulled plows and children waved from the banks with wide handkerchiefs. "Everything looked full of life and very good."
    In St. Louis, where Mormon emigrants were already familiar figures and the congregation numbered over three thousand, they found enough empty houses for a month's stay and worked at odd jobs while waiting for the "sickly season" along the river to pass, Forsgren meanwhile keeping them close together through frequent meetings, communion, and counseling, for the temptations in St. Louis were great. During April three more couples were married, five of the company died, two children were born, and a Sister Mathiesen was refused fellowship because she "had not made a true acknowledgment and could not be received into the Church without having the fruits of repentance." Thankful their troubles were no greater, half the company left on April 21, for Keokuk, Iowa, twenty-four hours away and not far from storied Nauvoo. The rest followed ten days later.
    At Keokok, where they became part of a great encampment of Welsh and English Saints, they found that Elder Haight, the church agent, had been diligent in obtaining their outfits for the plains. The "Danish camp," as they became known, pitched in a flowered prairie grove in a setting of oak trees and wild grape, was a lively place as they learned the mysteries of the yoke and whip in handling oxen and got used to living in tents and wagons, "as good as a house."
    In conference on May 17, the camp members put their accounts in order and renewed their covenants; they unanimously agreed to sustain Brigham Young, his counselors, and the apostles, approved Elder Forsgren's leadership, voted to travel under four captains, ten wagons to a company, and agreed that "anyone found drunk in the Danish camp would be cut off from the Church." Elder Christian Christiansen read a letter from Copenhagen reporting that the membership in Scandinavia had risen to 1400 that the brethren in Norway had been released from prison, and that several persons had been baptized in Sweden. It was a day of "enlightenment and instruction"; the captains "expressed their feelings in a spirit of humility"; and the conference closed on a note of general satisfaction. The camp was ready for the plains.
    Christian Nielsen, one of the emigrants with an eye for memorable detail, found the crossing "not wearisome at all." Going barefoot to save his shoes, he walked by the side of his two yoke of oxen and his heavily loaded wagon "of excellent quality and solid, far surpassing the Danish." Besides his family, he carried "a widow from Bornholm and her two children." He grew sunburned and let his beard grow. "Many of us look formidable," a sight for the begging and thieving Indians: "they have no beard." The oxen fattened on the fine grass; wood and water were plentiful.
    The worst hardship, besides the constant hazard of falling from the wagons or being run over by the stock, was the weather, the sudden storms that broke over Iowa and Nebraska frightening beyond anything known in the Old Country: the ominous thunder and the flaming sky, with lightning striking terror among the tents, cloudbursts drenching them, and winds whirling them over, left the emigrants cowering and helpless. A quieter grandeur was the sight of the buffalo herds, the thousands of deer and antelope, the far-stretching, uninhabited country itself with its great rivers to ferry.
    By June 25, they camped at Kanesville near Council Bluffs to rest for a week, only to have their peace seriously disturbed when the Niels Pedersens, the Jørgen Nielsens, and Frederikke Frederiksen withdrew declaring they would go no farther. "Jørgen Nielsen said there were liars and slanderers among us, and that it was not better among us than any other place in the world." He brought the law from the city to force the return of certain oxen to him, but H. J. Christensen had driven them off, and Jørgen hauled him into town and made him pay an eleven-dollar fine. To the rest of the company Jørgen seemed "possessed of an evil spirit," and he and his disaffected fellows were excommunicated; they were the beginning of an apostate element in Council Bluffs and later Omaha that would grow with each emigration, in time augmented by backtrailers from Zion itself, who gave western Iowa and eastern Nebraska their earliest Scandinavian settlers.
    George P. Dykes, familiar to many of the Forsgren emigrants as Erastus Snow's early companion in Scandinavia, happened to be in Council Bluffs and counseled them "against talking with any of the people of the town, as there was no place where the Devil had more 62 power than right here, and the people would do all they could to keep the Saints here." But old Father Christiansen, the choirmaster, destined shortly to lay down his weary bones in the mountains, voiced the general feeling when he said that he would not remain there, no matter how much he was offered; he could just as well have remained in Denmark, but he wished with all his heart to come to Zion. Elder Forsgren said "everything which would delight the soul" would be found in Zion, but he also warned them not to be dismayed if, when they "came home to the Valley," they found some ungodliness.
    There was no more defection, only the tedium of creeping along sixteen to twenty miles a day in mud and sand and dealing with unruly stock that tried tempers and brought out "imperfections" to be repented daily. They crossed creeks with colorful names like Wolf and Rattlesnake and Crab, and joined the English Saints in building bridges; they fed curious Indians—a band of sixty once—and were strictly forbidden to take any Indian ponies on pain of being cast out of camp. Resting only on the Sabbath, they passed one by one the historic landmarks of the Oregon and California trail—Scotts Bluff, Laramie, Bridger.
    To Christian Nielsen the way presented an amazing litter of dead animals, strewn wagon parts, clothing, and equipment, the shambles left by the goldseekers stripping for the race to the coast. Emigrants who could not bear to see such waste overloaded their wagons each day with their finds—the "beautiful" brass kettles, pans, and wheel rims— only to be forced to abandon them all again before nightfall. It was all very comical. Reflecting on the rivalry of the goldseekers, Christian was impressed that in Mormon wagon trains the emigrants helped each other: if one lost an ox, the others came to his aid; if something broke, the whole company waited until it was mended—the smith set up his forge and in a moment made repairs. No one was left behind, though he observed that the selfish ones were the first to call for help.
    "At last we neared the valley." On September 30, in the evening, they entered Great Salt Lake City, to be met by their old familiar, Erastus Snow, who re-baptized them all the next day to wash them of the sins of the journey and renew their covenants. It was a visible token they had come out of the world; they were in Zion, and what was past for them was merely prologue.
    Some of the immigrants found a temporary home with the first twenty-eight, who had already given their neighborhood a distinctly Danish character. Some followed John Forsgren north to Fort Box Elder, where his wife was living with her father, Bishop William Davis, founder of the settlement. With John went his brother Peter, the weaver, and wife, and his sister Erika, who would become the bishop's plural wife. Most of the company, on Brigham Young's advice, went south within a few days to the high country of Sanpete Valley to strengthen Father Isaac Morley's colony. "One would imagine we were tired of traveling," but Christian Nielsen went the 150 miles with them to Spring Town, soon better known as New Denmark. The people along the way were good to them, "overloading" them with "all kinds of articles"; in Provo someone killed an ox for them. But the farther south they traveled the more it looked like war, until they came to mute evidence in the form of two wagon boxes tipped over, their wheat and broken chests spilled on the ground in a skirmish that had seen eight Indians and four townsmen killed. They found Spring Town practically deserted: "It was a wretched fort; the walls were miserably built, the houses in unlivable condition, and we had to be armed constantly; there was good grassland here and they could become fine fields, but we were too weak to resist the Indians." In November Christian took his family to nearby Manti, where his services were needed to build a grist mill, which "with God's help" he built "after the Danish fashion." Before winter all of the company were called in from Spring Town to Manti. Within a year the larger emigration even then forming in Copenhagen would reinforce them and secure what for the moment seemed a precarious stake in Zion.
    The Forsgren company left a golden track in Mormon history. Their casualties in death and apostasy had been providentially light. They had provided a model of self-help, cooperation, and democratic leadership, with authority and humility alternately exercised in crisis with good results, and they had settled in strategic areas which would influence the colonization of the emigrants to come. An ounce of their success was worth a pound of propaganda in Scandinavia, and a hundred companies confidently followed in their wake, their adventures continually renewing the twice-told tale of the first voyagers and pioneers. They gave the migration of Scandinavian Mormons a distinctive pattern.
    In the Old Country, many of the converts had never been farther from home than the nearest market town. For them the Skandinavens Stjerne became an emigrant guide, its minute instructions encompassing every detail of preparation and departure; and the presiding elders in the conferences were their faithful shepherds, guiding them through the legal maze of obtaining passports, assisting them in the disposal of their goods, and even bending to the task of packing.
    {Farmer Hans Jensen Hals, emigrant of 1854 who had settled in Manti, the husband of three wives and able counselor to Apostle Orson Hyde in handling Danish affairs in the settlements, was back in Scandinavia on a mission in 1865, to find his experience at a premium and his time absorbed with emigration matters: I went with N. Nielsen to the Poor Commission in Nortranders School and received a promise of 200 dollars for him to travel on.... Held two meetings in Aalborg. The Emigrants were upbuilt and counseled in their preparation. A blessed day.... Received 4,000 rigsdaler Emigration money from C. Christensen and Jens Olesen from Thylan.... Bought material for tents and sleeping bags for the emigrants and put the tailors to work sewing them.... Came to Copenhagen and delivered to Pres. Widerborg 6,196 Emigration money. The accounting was correct.... Rented P. Larsen's hall for the emigrants from Vendsyssel.... Passed out certificates and passports, and held a meeting in the hall. Fourteen Brethren gave their farewell talks.... Received a letter from Christansen in Zion, and there read about the travels of the Emigrants....[7]
    In April 1868 he was told he would lead the next company of 627 to Zion, a stewardship which kept him constantly preoccupied and which was not discharged until his arrival in Salt Lake on September 25, when at Brigham Young's invitation he made his report from the stand in the Tabernacle. And even then he could not rest: he went to "Brigham's office to find out if the families could get the money back for them that had died on the way," and he took some of them with him to Manti. "Now I could go home with my family and attend to my duties." And he was proud to bring with him five instruments—a tenor tuba, two tenor horns, an alto horn, and a flute—which he had bought in Copenhagen for his town's brass band.
    Before 1869 and the completion of the transcontinental railroad, instructions warned the proselyte that the journey would take from six to nine months: leaving in midwinter and arriving on the frontier in spring or early summer, the emigrants should have clothes for both extremes of weather, and shoes to last the journey. It was not true, they were told, that they had to take along enough clothing to last ten years, nor need they be concerned about differences in standards of dress as they prevailed in the Old Country—in the New World such things did not matter. They were advised to part with the heavy chests "inherited from the fathers since time immemorial" and to take light trunks and suitcases which they could readily carry on board ship and load easily into "prairie wagons." They should not take over a hundred pounds in freight per person because few could afford to pay excess weight charges, which on the plains alone, in pre-railroad days, amounted to $24 a hundredweight.
    Those who expected to go all the way to "the Valley" should have at least 150 to 200 rigsdaler, and be prepared against "robbers and false brethren who will appear friendly as long as your money lasts." They would have to take their own bedding and cooking and eating utensils, preferably tinware, items advertised for purchase at cheapest rates at Mormon headquarters in Liverpool. Emigrants must-have food for five days while en route to Liverpool. Those who had valuables would do better to convert them into cash and plan to acquire a good cow that would give milk "to their children on the plains . . . and it will be no sin to have a few dollars left for homemaking in the Valley." Artisans who desired to take the tools and models of their trade should choose the lightest and most valuable.[8] After 1869, when steam and rail made for swifter passage, the instructions were still as detailed and full of oft-repeated precautions: lash your luggage well; mark baggage "Utah, U.S.A." with lampblack; use leather tags, not paper; don't wrap luggage with sail cloth, for it prevents rapid opening at the customs; in coming to Copenhagen, don't leave baggage on various railroad platforms en route; the office force at Copenhagen will meet anyone who sends notice of train or steamboat arrival; you must furnish your own food to Liverpool, costing about 10 kroner ($2.50) Adults will be allowed 135 pounds of freight on their ticket, children half as much; be prepared to pay excess freight charges, either in Copenhagen before setting out or to the Mormon agent in New York; take all the bed clothing you can; your food basket or box should be long and low allowing it to slide under the seat on the train; don't forget hand towels, comb, and soap for each person be prepared to pay lodgings, drayage, and other expenses incurred in, Copenhagen.[9] This attention to small expenditures suggests how closely the voyage was budgeted for the majority: any unforeseen outlay, however small, spelled disaster.}
    The instructions reflected the times: in 1872 heads of families with insufficient means to see them through to Utah were discouraged from believing that, if they could only reach the eastern states, they would find "lots of work" to enable them to return or send for their families. "Experience has taught us this is not so easy." In 1885, when conditions were equally bad, but happily offset by lower rates, Saints were reminded to keep faith with proved church methods: other agents might offer even cheaper passage but were not as responsible or as interested in the welfare of their clients. "Do not go without a shepherd."[10]
    The Stjerne was an emigrant guide with a difference: instructions were invariably accompanied by a moral rider. They began with dollars and concluded with dogmas, a portrait of Mormonism anxious to give no offense to an already critical world. Let the Saints honor every debt incurred en route and leave a good name behind, free from blame. Let them conduct themselves according to the laws of the land in all respects that they might be "justified before man and God." Let them be prayerful, repentant, seeking knowledge "by study and by faith." Let them honor cleanliness as a heavenly principle, doing everything essential for health, for "an unclean body is not fit temple for the holy spirit that dwells there." Again and again the difficulties of the journey were rehearsed, the necessity for spiritual preparation underlined. The Saints must go with "singleness of purpose." Those without faith had better not go at all, for they would never withstand "the hate of persecutors or the power of the Destroyer."[11]
    In sailing-vessel days the Saints were frankly told that the risks were great, sickness and death constant companions of the voyage over the water and the trek across the plains. Especially was the toll high among children. "Very few ever get through with them all," the father and mother of four small children were told.[12] Scandinavians seemed particularly susceptible to measles; common killers were cholera and dysentery. Companies after 1859, traveling the entire distance by steam and rail, suffered no losses at all, but earlier they buried normally 10 per cent of their number before journey's end. Most tragic were the parties which left in January 1854 aboard the Jesse Munn and the Benjamin Adams; 200 out of 678 lost their lives, most of them of cholera while in camp at Westport, Missouri.[13] The only comfort was that they died "in the Lord."
    There was also comfort in the record of safety at sea. Ships were dedicated before departure, and they were pictured as "flying like a cloud towards the promised land" with a special providence controlling the winds and the waves. Captains were impressed: said the skipper of the S.S. Idaho with 703 Scandinavian Saints on board in 1874, "I have conveyed Mormons safely across the Atlantic for eighteen years and have never heard that any ship went under with them on board." To be sure, there were other reactions to Mormon praying and singing: the mate of the John J. Boyd, carrying 437 Scandinavian Mormons in 1855, grew superstitious because of a prolonged passage and declared that ships with preachers on board were always sure of trouble.[14]
    {Going to America involved more than stepping aboard a vessel on one side of the Atlantic and disembarking on the other. It was a whole series of journeys. The proselytes first had to make their way to Copenhagen, main assembly point. Unless they lived on Zealand itself, that meant crossing the straits from Jutland or one of the Danish islands, and the Sound from Sweden—short laps but adventurous to many who were seeing the face of their country for the first time. Swedish Saints funneled through Malmö. Subsidiary assembly points in Jutland were Aalborg in the north, Aarhus in the middle, and Fredericia in the south, all along the east coast. The same little steamer picked up waiting emigrants in succession on its way to Copenhagen or, when groups were large enough, took them directly to Kiel or Lubeck on the German portion of the peninsula, where the Copenhagen detachment joined them. The journey was continued by rail to Altona, within walking distance of Hamburg, or to Gluckstadt, a little farther down the Elbe. Except for the years 1862, 1865, and 1866, when parties went directly from Hamburg to America, the emigrants moved across the North Sea to Grimsby or Hull and entrained for Liverpool along with whatever Norwegian Saints had come directly from Christiania or Stavanger.}
    The North Sea passage was often the roughest part of the whole journey: accounts describe the horrible retching in the holds of the vessels, sometimes little better than cattle boats, the hold thickly layered with sand in which the sea-green sick buried their vomit or burrowed for miserable sleep. Shelter at various stages of the journey certainly had none of the comforts of home; a sensitive Norwegian woman found the "poor Saints" packed into a large hall in Copenhagen, given beds on straw in a loft in Hamburg with no segregation of men and women, quartered in a "kind of stable" in Grimsby, and sheltered in "a rude shed" in Liverpool. But the converts, mostly farmers, artisans, and laborers, were on the whole less squeamish and, rejoicing in their new-found fellowship, expressed their gratitude for these way-station accommodations: time and again their journals speak their relief at finding good food and adequate shelter waiting for them.[15]
    From Scandinavia to England was but a foretaste of interminable changes, endless distances. After the Atlantic there stretched a continent to cross. Until 1855 Mormon emigrants traveled the New Orleans route, utilizing the waterways to get as far inland as possible — Keokuk or Quincy on the Mississippi, Atchison or St. Joseph on the Missouri. To avoid the murderous climate of the lower Mississippi, all emigration after 1855 passed through eastern ports. The route in the states was determined by the best contract Mormon representatives were able to make. In 1866 the 684 converts aboard the Kenibuorth arriving in New York from Hamburg found that the church agent had gone to some lengths. He sent them by coastal steamer to New Haven, thence by rail to Montreal in "dirty cattle cars," along the north bank of the St. Lawrence and lakes Ontario and Erie to the St. Clair River, where they were ferried over to Port Huron, Michigan, to continue by rail to Quincy, Illinois, via Chicago; there they were ferried across the Mississippi and entrained for St. Joseph, continuing by steamboat up the Missouri to the town of Wyoming, Nebraska, where they were met by church teams waiting to trundle them to Salt Lake.[16]
    The tortuous itinerary did not disturb the Saints as they prepared to leave the Old Country, for there was too much excitement at departure. A Dane remembered the scene in Copenhagen in 1869: with his mother and sister he stayed with four hundred other emigrants, the greater part Mormons and "mostly farm folk," at the Bolles Hotel. The sitting room was in constant motion. Some people went about in the crowd begging to be taken along. "It was a sight to behold"—four hundred people marching from the hotel to the dock, lugging their worldly goods to the clanging of loose tinware and singing "Think not when you gather to Zion your trials and troubles are o'er...." At the dock he remembered vividly how a mother gave her three small girls a last embrace before turning them over to a young woman to be taken to Zion.[17]
    Crowds of the curious were always on hand, scornful of their countrymen who were foolish and disloyal enough to leave home as victims of the double delusion of America and Mormonism. Sometimes there were scenes. At the boat landing in Copenhagen in 1857 an indignant crowd tried to snatch the children away from one convert couple: let the elders be damned, but it was too bad the young should face a shameful upbringing in the Mormon kingdom. In 1868 the leaders of a company of 627 proselytes were arrested just as they were embarking and hauled before the magistrate, only to be cleared when nothing could be found against them.[18]
    Times changed. When the S.S. Otto left Copenhagen for Lübeck in 1872 with 397 proselytes aboard, Stjerne gave thanks to "our agent, Hr. Duhrsen, his assistants, the police, the militia, and the captain for their humaneness, forehandedness, and willingness to serve with which each in his place assisted us and our friends in accomplishing the departure." No one drank a toast of farewell schnapps; there were no "depressing pipes, cigars, or nauseous quids," but only "friendliness, unity, helpfulness, and patience." And there was a noticeable absence of the usual emigrant weeping; instead, "joy and thanksgiving reigned for the chance to go to Zion."[19]
    In Liverpool, once aboard the ship which would carry them across the Atlantic, the converts found themselves members of a well-ordered community. A select committee of the House of Commons on emigrant ships for 1854, after examining the Mormon agent in Liverpool, concluded that "no ship under the provision of the Passenger Act could be depended upon for comfort and security in the same degree as those under his administration. The Mormon ship is a family under strong and accepted discipline, with every provision for comfort, decorum, and internal peace."[20] Under a general presidency—for the shipboard company was of mixed nationality—the Scandinavians had their own supervisors responsible for things temporal and spiritual: cleaning and galley details, morning and evening devotionals, recreation and morale.
    It was customary to berth families amidships, separating the single men from the unmarried women. Watchmen maintained vigil during the night. In 1861, after six days at sea, the realistic president of the company aboard the Monarch of the Sea suggested it would help the crowded condition of the vessel if betrothed couples got married at once; thirty unions were forthwith solemnized.[21] {Hans Jensen Hals found the crew of the Emerald Isle ugly: they molested the young women and threatened the brethren with physical violence when they interfered. Hals as president of the company remonstrated with the captain, who only rattled the irons he had used, he said, on former insubordinate passengers. Such bad treatment was rare, but lustful sailors were a common enough source of trouble.[22]}
    Life went full circle: births, deaths, and marriages. For the children there was semblance of school, for the adults frequent lectures, generally by returning missionaries recounting things to expect in the new home. Everyone diligently studied English, or they sewed the tents and wagon covers they would need on the plains. If in no other way, the passing of the days could be noted by the menu, which might be "sweet soup" on Sunday, pea soup on Monday, rice on Tuesday and Wednesday, pea soup on Thursday, barley mush on Friday, and herring and potatoes on Saturday. In addition to the food requirements of the British Passenger Act, the Saints were supplied with two and a half pounds of sago, three pounds of butter, two pounds of cheese, and one pint of vinegar for each statute adult, and half the amount for children between one and fourteen; one pound of beef or pork weekly for each adult was substituted for its equivalent in oatmeal, provisions which enabled many of them to live "more bountifully" than they had lived in their native countries.[23]
    Arrived at the Battery in New York and delivered to Castle Garden, the Mormon companies received the same special care. An able man like William C. Staines, for years (1869-81) the church immigration agent in the port city, wrought a swift and practiced order out of the confusion of inspection, securing lodgings, and expediting the transfer to the trains, which usually saw the converts through to the frontiers without change of cars or mixing with other passengers. On one occasion Staines dispatched a company of eleven hundred immigrants in eight hours.
    Newspaper reporters, eager to give a curious public a glimpse of each new shipload of Mormons—particularly during the antipolygamy crusade of the 1870s and 1880s, when it was alleged that foreign converts were recruited from "the dregs of society" for immoral purposes in Utah—observed their quiet conduct as they passed through customs, evidently under some "controlling influence," and were surprised to find them "as fully intelligent as the ordinary immigrants." They had come voluntarily; most of them had paid their own way; there were as many males as females, old as well as young; and there were no paupers. A New York Times correspondent found the 723 converts arriving on the S.S. Wisconsin on June 7, 1877, "not without a share of youth and beauty, although the beauty was high in the cheek bones and too rugged for New-York belles." Another reporter found the men in an earlier company "strong, healthy fellows, averaging thirty years of age and divided about equally in occupations as farm laborers and mechanics." Another, in 1882, concluded that "the immigrants in the party were thrifty people who would probably do well in Utah."[24]
    Some observers were prejudiced by the circular which Secretary of State William M. Evarts in 1879 sent to United States diplomatic and consular officers in Europe seeking the aid of foreign governments in preventing the departure of Mormon proselytes, "prospective lawbreakers" and "misguided men and women" lured by "agents. operating beyond the reach of the law of the United States."[25] The Times described the first group to arrive after the Evarts communiqué as "an unintelligent-looking crowd, but . . . fairly clean as compared with other batches of their brethren who preceded them in Castle Garden."[26]
    In 1880 the Times reported an incident: the Nevada had discharged 338 Mormons; as usual, representatives of the New York Bible Society and the Protestant Emigrant Aid Society moved among the throng distributing New Testaments printed in the converts' native language, but the Mormons seemed indifferent to this proselyting. A missionary of the Emigrant Aid Society, Blossett by name, emboldened by the Evarts circular, attempted to convince the Mormons of their enormity in believing in polygamy. When he asked who instituted polygamy, he was told "Almighty God." "No," ventured the missionary, "it was Cain after he murdered his brother Abel." Whereupon, says the account, "one of the elders seized the venerable man of God and flung him violently aside," and Garden attendants had to come to his aid.[27] But such episodes were rare. Despite popular antipathy, government hostility, and increasingly rigid inspections reflecting more stringent immigration laws, Mormon companies moved through customs with remarkably few delays or detentions. On the frontier new experiences awaited the converts by way of camp life and the handling of oxen, an accomplishment most of the autobiographies dwell on, not a few confessing how disastrous it was when greenhorns tried to substitute harness "Danish style" for the yoke or "Yankee manner." A full outfit before railroad days consisted of a wagon, two yoke of oxen, two cows, and a tent to each ten individuals; and the emigrants found the provisions, stockpiled in advance, abundant: flour, sugar, bacon, rice, beans, dried apples and peaches, tea, vinegar, salt, and soap. There were modifications—the system was not flush every year.
    A tragic chapter in the migration was that

    9. Select quotes from a research paper published in the "International Journal of Mormon Studies," vol. 5, (2012), "Origins and Development of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Historic County Durham," by Ronald L. Bartholomew:
    "Facts relative to the historical development of the LDS Church in County Durham confirm this pattern. What follows is the fascinating story of how the LDS Church began and developed in five separate geographical areas, in chronological order of incidence, within historic County Durham. Important details are included with regard to key individuals involved in the beginning stages of that development, whose names and contributions have heretofore remained almost entirely anonymous. The LDS Church began in Historic County Durham when the Sunderland Branch was organized on August 13, 1843, at Hylton Ferry, in South Hylton, at the home of William Knox.22 This branch was unique in two important ways: first, the Church in Sunderland has remained intact from 1843 to the present. This is despite the fact that Church membership in Great Britain grew dramatically through 1850, but then experienced a steady decline in growth due to persecution, emigration, or the general apathy of the British people, which in most cases led to the eventual termination of the branch. Second, while the boundaries and name–titles of various administrative units in the British Mission were under constant revision during the Victorian Era23 (including those in historic County Durham), the Sunderland unit also appears to be unique in that it has retained its original geographic designation throughout its 168–year existence. This distinction can be partially explained by the efforts of new converts–turned–local missionaries like William Knox and his companion Ebenezer Gillies. Following his baptism and the organization of the Sunderland Branch at his home on August 13, 1843, Knox served as a local missionary in the area from February 1846 to February 1849, proselytizing 82 converts into the branch. ...
    The first mention of the Church in the South Shields area was at a District Conference held on June 18, 1848, although a branch had not yet been organized there.78 While the Church in South Shields did not enjoy the longevity of the Sunderland Branch, the branch record still spans an entire century: from 1848 to 1948.79 This can at least partially be explained by the sizeable population in this area. Unlike the small colliery towns mentioned above, the population of South Shields was already 12,000 in 1801, and grew to over 80,000 by the turn of the century.80 Although the coal industry was strong here, South Shields was not entirely dependent on coal, having several maritime industries, including shipbuilding, which helped sustain the population and the Church membership. Like most of the branches in historic County Durham, the initial growth of this branch can be primarily attributed to the efforts of local missionaries. One of the first and by far the most prolific was Isaac Burnhope, who was baptized on June 5, 1847 by Ebenezer Gillies of the Sunderland Branch.81 This pattern was common, as new converts who had been ordained to the priesthood would engage in proselytizing activities in the neighbouring towns on nights and weekends, bringing in new converts, who themselves would begin preaching as soon as they were ordained. After proselytizing 31 people in the South Shields Branch82 while labouring as a local missionary for 21 years, Isaac finally emigrated to Utah.

It is about centered in a triangle formed by Hexham, Haydon Bridge, and Warden. Being it has no church, the three previous mentioned towns do and they are all about two miles away.

    4. Birth place of Heddon-in-the-Wall is at Hadrian's Wall across northern England. The roman wall at this location is up to 10 feet thick. Hadrian's Wall was built by Roman soldiers from the three legions of Britain and is 8 roman feet thick (a roman foot is slightly larger than a standard foot), 12 feet high and fronted by a ditch except where natural crags of rock made this unnecessary. An earthwork known as the vallum, ran behind the wall and between the vallum and the wall was military way. Every third of a mile, a tower was built and every mile, a milefort or milecastle with barrack blocks. Larger forts were built at intervals of approximately 7 miles. The wall remained in use until the end of the rule of Rome in Britain in 410. Hadrian's Wall was built as a continuous defensive barrier across northern England from the Solway Firth on the west coast to Wallsend in the east (73 miles) by Caesar Trainus Hadrianus Augustus, Roman Emperor between 117-138 who was responsible for the unification and consolidation of the Roman Empire. Initial building took 6 years followed by vrious expansions. The wall has suffered damage to the stones being used for local house building and road being taken through it. Many parts of it still remain.

    CHRISTENING:
    1. Online Ordinance Index has the following extracted record (Film printout 6904961, film source 0593804, dates 1775-1838, batch C06481) which gives Elizabeth Charleton, b. 21 Sep 1806 to Thome. Charleton and Elizabeth Ferguson and christened 29 Sep 1806 at St. Thomas Aquino Roman Catholic, Stella, Durham, England. County Durham directly adjoins County Northumberland. There is no Catholic church in Heddon-on-the-Wall and this particular church is just a few miles southeast of Heddon-on-the-Wall. Another child Ann is also christened in the same church per FHL film # 593804. The church records are written in Latin. Each Christening is divided by town location title. Before Ann Carlton is "Heddon-on-the-Wall." The god parent listed for Ann is Maria Lock. Sometimes godparents could be a relative (maybe Maria Ferguson or Maria Charlton?). It is interesting that the Charlton parents are buried in the Established Church whereas some of their children were baptized in a Catholic Church.

Her exact source is unclear and the date of the marriage does not correspond with the the more definitive marriage sources listed above - so I discount the reported 1830 below in her notes:"The Burnhopes are related to me through my great grandfather, Nathaniel Spens. Jane Ann Burnhope was his first wife. She has an older brother named William Burnhope born 1832.

    2. The following two items are on file but unsure as to which Cornelius Osborne they refer:
    a. "Declaration of Intention To Become a Citizen of the United States. I, Cornelius Osborne do declare, on oath, that it is bona fide my intention to become a Citizen of the United States of America and to renounce and abjure forever, all allegiance and fidelity, to all and any Foreign Prince, Potentate, State and Sovereignty whatever, and particularly to Victoria, Queen of Great Britain and Ireland of whom I was a subject. Sworn and subscribed to before me, at my office, at Ogden City, this 29th day of April, A.D. 1872. [Signed] Cornelius Osborne. G. Myron Hawley, Clerk of the U.S. Supreme Court, in and for the Territory of Utah, per G.C. Wright, dpty. I, C. Myron Hawley, Clerk of the U.S. Supreme Court, in and for the Territory of Utah, do certify that the above is a true copy of the Original Delaration of Intention of Cornelius Osborne to become a Citizen of the United States of America, remaining on record in my office. In testimony whereof, I have hereunto subscribed my name, and affixed the Seal of said Court, at my office, in Salt Lake City in said Territory this eighth day of May A.D. 1872. [Signed] C. Myron Hawley, Clerk."
    b. "Certificate of Citizenship. United States of America, Territory of Utah - SS. Be it remembered, that on the tenth day of May in the year of our Lord, 1882, Cornelius Osborne, late of England in the Kingdom of Great Britain at present of Ogden City in the Territory aforesaid, appeared in the First Judicial District Court of the United States, in and for Utah Territory, and applied to the said Court to be admitted to become a Citizen of the United States of America, pursuant to the directions and requirements of the several Acts of Congress in relation thereto. And the said Cornelius Osborne, having thereupon produced to the Court such evidence, made such declartion and renunciation, and taken such oaths as are by the said Acts required; thereupon it was ordered by the said Court that the said Cornelius Osborne be admitted, and he was accordingly admitted by the said Court to be a Citizen of the United States of America. In testimony whereof, the Seal of the said Court is hereunto affixed, this 10 day of May, in the year 1882, and in the year of our Independence the 106th. A.C. Everson, Clerk."

    BIRTH:
    1. 1900 census reports Aug 1813. Tombstone, death certificate, and cemetery record shows birthdate of 11 Aug 1814. The christening date I have is undocumented by me; however, if correct for 1813, then a birthdate of 1813 would be correct. Also the following by Cornelius himself per "Temple Index Bureau card for End. House, 18 Nov 1872; Bk H; No 31; Pg 2: Cornelius Osborne, b. 11 Aug 1813 at Arlington, Sussex, Eng., parents: Con Osborne and Dinah Daw" indicates 1813 as perhaps a reliable date.

    2. Handwritten note on the back of a commercial advertising letter dated 1895 [on file], source unknown but appears to be a child of Cornelius and Harriet Osborne:
    "Edward Lamberth, borned June 27/37
    George F., October 29/39
    Sampson D. Jany 2/42
    Mary A., March 27/44
    Cornelius, May 27/47
    Lambeth, Jany 4/53
    Dad, Aug 11/13 Arlington, Sussex
    Mother, Decr 25, 1809 Crayford, Kent
    Thomas Burnhope Feb. 22, 1845"

    CHRISTENING:
    1. Source of christening information from extracts of the Registers of Arlington Parish Church, Sussex, England from 1700 onwards by correspondence (copy on file) of 30 Nov 1953 from George Mitchell of Berwick Rectory, Nr. Polegate, Sussex. Cover letter reads: "In reply to your request for information about the Osborne family, I have searched the Registers from 1700 onwards, and find the entries given on the enclosed sheet. It is unfortunate that the marriage entries are so few, but it must be remembered that marriages usually take place in the woman's parish, and there is no means of finding out where this might be apart from inspecting the registers of the district. I have no record at all under the name of Daw; Con Osborne is married to Sarah Coleman in his 24th year, but if this is the Sarah who died in 1806, he may have married again between 1806 and 1813, though for the reason given the marriage would not be in the Arlington Registers. I have an older Register going back to 1609, but I have not searched this; it is in latin, and would take some time to go through... There is no one of the name of Osborne in the parish now, and my oldest inhabitants cannot remember any family of this name. The parish, which still covers about 24 square miles, was twice as large until 1845, when a 'daughter' parish was carved out of it, and it may be that there are entries after this year in the records of that Parish... If you are interested in 'your old Church,' I may say that it is an unusually fine one, and dates back before the landing of the Conqueror..." He also notes: "It is more than likely that 'Osborne' and 'Osborn' are the same family, and 'Edward' and 'Edmond' may be the same person."
    Baptisms:
    1813 Oct 10, Cornelius, son of Cornelius and Dinah Osborn.

    MARRIAGE:
    1. Marriage License, p. 92, copy on file, FHL film 405111: "Marriages solemnized in the Parish of St.Leonards, Shoreditch in the County of Middlesex in the year 1837.

Cornelius Osborne, an old gentleman who has resided for some years at 2264 Madison avenue, was found dead in his bed at 8:30 a.m. today by his little grandson. Death is supposed to have ensued from heart failure caused by a complication of the weaknesses of age. He was in poor health when seen by a son last night and the young man remained at his bedside until 10 o'clock when upon his father exhibiting signs of improvement he went home. When a grandson called at the residence this morning, it was found that the old gentleman had died during the night. Notice of funeral will be given later." Ogden Standard, Thursday, 10 Jan 1901.

There are no marriages relating to the Morgtan family for the period that you mention, nor were Banns of Marriage called for anyone of that name for the same period. There appears, however, to be two families by the name of Morgan mentioned in the Baptism Registers:
    Richard, the son of William and Ann Morgan, was born on 15th July 1807 and baptised on 2nd August 1807.
    And then, obviously another family: Eliza, daughter of Thomas and Mary Morgan, baptized January 29, 1815 and Thomas, son of Thams and Mary Morgan, baptised Februaty 22nd, 1817.
    I hope that this will be of some help to you."

    Osborne, Harriett - Mary Ann, Cornelius, George, Harriet: 1871.

    BIRTH:
    1. Traditionally on archival family group sheets as year of birth has been reported as 1810; however, tombstone reports 1808 and obituaries calculate as Dec 1809. Temple Index Bureau card for End. House, 18 Nov 1872; Bk H; No 27; Pg 1: Harriet Morgan Osborne, b. 25 Dec 1810, Higate, Middlesex, Eng., parents: Thomas Morgan and Mary Ann Hawkin, bapt. June 1869. Endowment was live and information was probably provided by Harriet herself. Also 1810 shows on some of the British LDS Church branch records as cited elsewhere in these notes. I use 1810 date which may or may not be correct.

    2. Handwritten note on the back of a commercial advertising letter dated 1895 [on file], source unknown but appears to be a child of Cornelius and Harriet Osborne:
    "Edward Lamberth, borned June 27/37

    MARRIAGE:
    1. Marriage License, p. 92, copy on file, FHL film 405111: "Marriages solemnized in the Parish of St. Leonards Shoreditch in the County of Middlesex in the year 1837. Cornelius Osborne of this parish, bachelor, and Harriet Morgan of this parish, spinster, were married in this church by banns this tenth day of April in the Year 1837 by me, John ???, Curate. This marriage was solemnized between us. Cornelius Osborne. Harriet Morgan (X) her mark. In the presence of Geo. Yarrow, Eliza Agram (X) her mark. No. 274."

    DEATH:
    1. Per cemetery record.

    2. Per obituary.

    BURIAL:
    1. Ogden Cemetery online: Harriet D. Osborn, b. in Kent, England, d. 23 May 1890 at Ogden, parents are Thomas and Mary Morgan, bur. D-4-1-2E.

    2. Ogden Utah Pioneer Cemetery (Lot 1, Blk 4, Plat "D"). Tombstone reports birthdate of 25 Dec 1808 and deathdate of 28 May 1889. Death date is definitely wrong because of obituary. Approximately 18 total relatives (Osbornes, Burnhopes, Petersens, McCarrels, and Koepkes) buried in near proximity. Tombstone reads "Harriett E. Wife of Cornelius Osborne Born Dec 25 1808 May 23, 1889." Most interesting is the middle initial E. which is the only documentary evidence of a middle name of Elizabeth.

    3. Per obituary.
