News:
I hereby wish to inform my friends and relations that my
wife Christiane, daughter of Anders and Marie Sophie Christensen, died
November 5th, 1879, at her residence, from paralysis, form
which she suffered nearly two months. She was born in
Jylland, Denmark, August 31st,1834. She
emigrated to Utah in 1859, and crossed the Plains with
the handcarts and suffered much hardship and scarcity of
food. She arrived at Salt Lake City September
4th, 1859, and was united in the bonds of matrimony on
October 13th, 1859, Brother Erastus Sdow performing the
ceremony. These 20 years we have enjoyed the blessing
of God and raised four sons and three daughters, who are left with me to
mourn the loss of a true and faithful mother. She
died in full faith of the gospel, and a hope of a glorious
resurrection. L. C. Christenson – Deseret News, 07
January 1880.
