Here is where she met Ben Shipley, who was training to be a shoe maker.
In 1929 she had contracted rheumatism and became invalid for 17 years. She never complained and always had a smile. She died three days before her 77th birthday.
Fredrick was helping get some logs from the mountains. While the group of boys had stopped for a while he was persuaded to swim in the Bear River, where he was caught in a whirlpool and drowned.
The 1840 census indicates that Hans was 43 years old. The 1845 census indicates that Hans was 46 years old. Thus a birth date of 1797-1799.
The 1840 census indicated that Hans, Ane Marie and a child, Frederik Hansen, lived at the house at this address, in the back, first floor (the floor above the main floor).
She was born at the King Fredericks Hospital for Unwed Mothers.
She was christened in the chapel at the King Fredericks Hospital where she was born. No parent's name were recorded and only her given name is shown.
The nursery record states that this was a welfare case and the baby was given the following: 4 diapers, 3 caps, 2 bibs, 4 shirts, 2 swaddling clothes, 2 vests. At the request of the natural mother the baby was given to the wife of Constable Mogens Olesen N
t. The nursery record: "The child appeared to be sound and is without any bodily defect."
Her father's name was given on this confirmation record. Only an initial was given for the first name. Ane Marie began working as a servant at age 16, about the same time she was confirmed into the Lutheran Church.
Mogen Hans was a Private First Class in the Third Company of the 20th Battalion of the Danish Army. The first enlistment record indicates that he was 66 3/4 "tommer" tall (5 foot 8 3/4 inches).
Mogen Hans received a medal in the Sc
hleswig-H
lstein war of 1864 with Prussia and Austria.
Mogen Hans and his family sailed on the ship S. S. Sueria with N.C. Franzen as ship master. He crossed the plains by train.
Mogen Hans bought 20 acres of land in Richmond. On the property was a blacksmith shop which they remodeled into a house.
Here the family homesteaded 160 acres, partly flat, partly hilly. Using boards from Richmond they built another house. While the house was being built they lived in the covered wagon.
As a constable, Mogen Hans would travel from Preston to the county seat in Malad for business. Sometimes he would go in his buggy. Other times he would go on horse back taking lawbreakers.
On one occasion Mogen Hans was supposed to
arrest someone. His friends persuaded him to take a gun, although he never used one. Somehow there was an accident and he shot himself in the hand. After having the wound dressed, he discarded the gun and arrested the criminal bare-handed anyway. He never
carried a gun either before or after the accident.
Maren had a stroke on the 31st of December 1924 and lingered for 28 days before she passed away. She was almost 87 years old.
"Tildy" as she was fondly called, was deaf and dumb from scarlet fever which she had at the age of four. She attended the Deaf and Blind School for two years, where she learned sign language.
Leonard and Florence lived on the same land that Leonard's grandfather, Mogen Hans, had homesteaded. At first they lived in a little house about 8 by 16 feet, until 1934-35 when Leonard started building a new house. At first he poured the concr
ete foundation and built the outside walls, a roof and two rooms from $800 that he scraped up. This is how they lived the first winter. The next winter they had a hallway that connected the two rooms. By the third winter the bathroom was installed. The fou
rth year another bedroom was finished. Then it was three more years before the living room was completed.
"Jack" Nelson had forced himself on Annie while she was going to a Presbyterian School in Logan, Utah. She was afraid to tell anuyone that she was pregnant. When she started showing she was expelled from school. Annie didn't know that she was
married to Jack until Jack showed the marriage certificate to Mogen Hans.
We assume that because Ane Marie was quite poor and could not afford a marriage license, that she and Hans lived together and had several children. This would have been considered a common law marriage.
Benjamin was 31 at the time he married Sarah Ann, who was only 16 years old. Although we do not know whether his first wife was with him, Benjamin certainly was a polygamist. He had a total of 5 wives, but we do not think that he had all five a
t the same time. Sarah Ann did not stay with Benjamin for very long, as she left him after a few years.
Here is where she met Ben Shipley, who was training to be a shoe maker.
In 1929 she had contracted rheumatism and became invalid for 17 years. She never complained and always had a smile. She died three days before her 77th birthday.
Fredrick was helping get some logs from the mountains. While the group of boys had stopped for a while he was persuaded to swim in the Bear River, where he was caught in a whirlpool and drowned.
Johan then went to trade school in Arendal (Biedermann) in eastern Norway. Later he came back to Stavanger and attended an evening art school. This is where he met Josefine.
Johan was the master of several chimeny sweeps. His office was on Nytovet Street. On the 19th of October 1913, which was his 25th wedding anniversary, he recieved a silver plated tray from the worker's union.
Josefine had actively campaigned for women's rights in 1907. Both her and Johan ran for the city council. Johan lost but she won. She was on the council for four years (we're not certain whether it was from 1900-1904 or 1902-1906).
Charley lived on the same farm that his father had homesteaded since he was two years old. Here is where he grew up and lived his entire life.
He died one Sunday morning at the age of 86 while he was out to take care of the cows.
Margaret was born in an old farmhouse on the south side of Franklin. Since her father also owned some land about 5 miles up Maple Creek Canyon, she often spent the summer there.
When Margaret went to school they had to write on slates because there were no pencils and paper.
Hospital record: "About the mother Ane Marie Lund; unmarried; before gave birth 1833, Child No. 655; 1835, Child No. 452; 1836, Child No. 572; 1837, Child No. 655; 29 years of age and was a servant, she took care of herself the best she could.
She left to go to Torvegaden in the City 1st floor in the back where she took her child with."
Mogen Hans believed that he was born in June, rather than January, but we believe that he had the date mixed up.
Mogen Hans son, Charley, recalls his father telling him that as a young child he and his mother would walk through the wooded areas and gather twigs for the stove, to keep warm in the winter.
Ira and Alicia purchased a home with about an acre and a half in the St. Bethlehem area of Clarksville. This house was larger to accomodate their six children. It was an older home, built during the mid-1950's and has required some remodeling a
nd work to bring it back in to condition.
Alicia had moved to England at the age of 18 to study nursing. During the few years she remained in England she worked at various hospitals in Huntingdon, Papworth and Stevenage.
Alicia traveled by airplane to the Salt Lake Airport where she was met by Ira. They stayed with Ira's brother, Jerry for two days.
CLeonard was born in the old red-brick house of his parents.
All of his life, Leonard worked as a farmer. Most of the regular money was made from the dairy cows. Most of his adult life, he had a herd of about 30-35 Holstein cows. He always raised enough alfalfa hay to carry the cows through the winters.
In addition he often raised wheat or barley which he sold to the Grain Coop in town. A few times he tried sugar beet or corn as some of the other farmers did, but he never stayed with these crops.
In addition he also raised beef cattle. After
many of the children grew up and began to have families of their own it became a family tradition for several years to help Leonard drive the cattle and young yearling calves from the farm in the valley, 11 miles to the ranch which he owned up Maple Creek
Canyon. There the cattle would graze in the spring until they could be moved higher up into the mountains on Forest land. Leonard also supplemented his income by riding the range for the Stock Association. Many days during the summer were spent in the moun
tains checking on the cattle. Often one or two of the children would go with him. It was always a special treat for one of the children to take a friend on one of these day long horse rides in the mountains. Leonard probably enjoyed his mountain rides more
The 1840 census indicated that Hans, Ane Marie and a child, Frederik Hansen, lived at the house at this address, in the back, first floor (the floor above the main floor).
Typhus is a disease that lice carry. The lice were carried by rats and when someone was bit by the lice, they would get high fevers and rash. About 95% of the people with this disease would die in about a week. The death certificate says that s
he was living at Almindelig (Commpn) Hospital at time of death. She probably lived in the rented rooms behind the hospital where the hospital workers lived. She probably did house-keeping type chores at the hospital.
The probate record gave Ane Marie's address as Store Torvegade, where she had lived since 1840. It said that she was very poor and had nothing to leave anyone. It did not mention Hans Larsen or any children. It said that she had bee
n a servant and seamstress and had never married. Her death was reported by a neighbor.
Ane Marie was sealed to her adopted parents - Mogens Olesen Nors
t and wife. (Date unknown).
(Two baptism dates have been given for B.C.)
(A letter to Leonard B. Lund, addressee unknown, dated July 27, 1954 from Provo, Utah indicates that certain church records give the baptismal date as 21 May 1849.)
It seems that Benjamin was the first of his family to join the LDS
Church. Later his brother, Henry also joined and Henry's wife and older children. At this time it seems that Benjamin (age 18) was probably living with his older brother and his family.
Benjamin migrated with his sister-in-law, Jean Rio Griffeths Baker and her children. Jean Rio had seven children, aged 3 to 16 who left England with her. Traveling with the company was also Mary Ann Baker, an aunt and her husband, Jeremiah Bate
than anything else and continued to ride the range until he was almost 80 years old, long after he had sold the dairy cattle and quit milking cows.
There was a 12 room house at Stokka and a small farm of about 70-80 acres. Since Frida's father was not a farmer (but a chimney sweep) they rented the land out. But there were lots of fruit trees and a strawberry patch. Frida's brother owned a
cow or two and they had a hayfield.
The family moved into town to a large four story house. There was a large living room and a place called the saloon, where visitors were entertained. The closets were large, about half the size of a bedroom. When you go in the front there is a
hall way and a stairway to go upstairs.
It was while the family lived here, that the Germans invaded Norway during World War II. The new home had large windows that had a good view of the North Sea. One morning when Frida got up, she looked ou
t the window and saw the German airplanes flying in. She said to her mother, "Mother, the Germans are here!" Frida and her mother stood at the window and watched the German airplanes flying in. Josephine, her mother, was so shocked and exclaimed, "Oh, no!"
and started crying. When her brothers and others went to work that morning, they had to come back home. The Germans began dropping "noise" bombs in the streets to scare the people. There was no food in the house.
For five years the Germans o
ccupied Norway. During that time, they struggled to always find food. The Germans broke into the stores and stole everything.
Frida arrived by boat in New York on the 12th of November. She took a bus and train to Chicago and stayed with some of her cousins; Ruth, Inga and Sadie. She stayed about three weeks before taking the bus to Preston, Idaho where she stayed with
Leonard Lund, a widower, to help take care of the house and his six children.
he lived at the time.
Ira and Alicia purchased a one acre plot with a small house in Liberty City. Here they lived for several years until Ira graduated from college and moved to Tennessee.
Ira graduated only one month after their fourth child (SuiKim) was born. He recieved a bachelor's degree. He drove every day for two years to Tyler, about 35 miles away. During the second semester he got a job working for the Trane Company in T
yler, a manufacturer of Air Conditioners and Furnaces. Ira first began programming on computers there while he completed school.
The main job which Ira was required to do was to learn to forecast the Light Commercial Air-conditioning market. Eventually he succeeded in creating a more accurate forecast than had ever been had before, including in the other Trane headquarte
r locations in Tyler, Texas and LaCrosse, Wisconsin.
Another major accomplishment was made when he wrote a networked program for headquarter's pricing function, which was the model for one later written by the group in Tyler. It has been modif
ied over the years and is still in use today. He continues to maintain it. Besides these functions, he has produced various computer reports pertaining to marlets, shares and office sales around the U.S.
Ira recieved a job offer from the Trane Company in Clarksville and so transferd there. Ira and Alicia purchased a house there on 404 Corinne Circle, which they lived in for about 7 years.
Ira modified a genealogy program he had first writtten for his own use about 5-6 years earlier. This he released as shareware and sent to several electronic BBS's and shareware vendors. Sales were slow at first, but it was exciting to recieve h
is first order for his product. As new users suggested improvements and ideas, Cumberland Family Tree also evolved. A Professional Version was released in 1993 and then a powerful Windows Version was released in 1995 (which is the basis for this story).
Johan then went to trade school in Arendal (Biedermann) in eastern Norway. Later he came back to Stavanger and attended an evening art school. This is where he met Josefine.
Johan was the master of several chimeny sweeps. His office was on Nytovet Street. On the 19th of October 1913, which was his 25th wedding anniversary, he recieved a silver plated tray from the worker's union.

Charley lived on the same farm that his father had homesteaded since he was two years old. Here is where he grew up and lived his entire life.
He died one Sunday morning at the age of 86 while he was out to take care of the cows.
Margaret was born in an old farmhouse on the south side of Franklin. Since her father also owned some land about 5 miles up Maple Creek Canyon, she often spent the summer there.
When Margaret went to school they had to write on slates because there were no pencils and paper.
Hospital record: "About the mother Ane Marie Lund; unmarried; before gave birth 1833, Child No. 655; 1835, Child No. 452; 1836, Child No. 572; 1837, Child No. 655; 29 years of age and was a servant, she took care of herself the best she could.
a day. There was always a lot of hay to haul and stack in the barn. He was usually called by neighbors to help haul their hay.
There was also a lot of fun. In Franklin County there are many reservoirs, storing up the melting winter snows for s
ummer irrigation. These also provided a lot of recreation. Often after a long hot day hauling hay, Ira would go with his brother or neighbor to Lamont Reservoir and take a cool swim (with all clothes on) just to get the hay dust and sweat off. Then they wo
uld have to hurry home to finish the evening chores and milk the cows.
Ira spent some time in the following cities in the Midlands: Crewe, Malvern and Worcester, Warwick, Leamington Spa, Huntingdon near Cambridge, and in Northern Wales in Colwyn Bay and LLandudno.
During this time, Ira started by working for Forsgren and Perkins (a civil engineering firm). He worked in various cities in Southeast Idaho and Northern Utah: Preston, Pocatello, Inkom, Grace and Logan. He also spent a few months working in Sa
nta Barbara, California working for US Grant and Son, civil engineers. He also worked for a couple of firms in Smithfield and Ogden, Utah.
Ira and Alicia purchased an 11 acre plot of land with an old hill billy house on it about 10 miles north of Harrison, in the Ozarks. This house did not have running water. There was an outhouse out back. Ira would drive about a mile down the ro
ad to a creek to get water. There was also a spring there where they got fresh drinking water in plastic gallon jugs. Alicia would wash the clothes in the creek once a week. Eventually a cistern was dug and a small shower with a composting toilet installed
in a small room built in the house.
Ira built a goat barn out back and tried raising milk goats for a few months. He also worked at Duncan Industries as a draftsman in Harrison. After just one year they moved again, this time to Texas.
Ira got a job at G.A.S. working as a draftsman. After about a year and a half, he was layed off and then started working for another firm in town. After a few months there, he got another job at Rigway in Liberty City, near Kilgore, Texas where

This sealing date was from Kay Clark's database, but no parents were given.
Need to check date of 19 dec 1836 as it is the same death date as his brother?
John and Margaret moved here and lived in a rented house. Here John worked as a farmer. They eventually became discontent with living conditions and moved to Vwmbach (near Aberdare) where he worked in the coal mines, which are abundant in that
part of Wales.
At first his wife was bitterly opposed to John joining the LDS church. Twelve years later she also joined the LDS church. After his baptism, John was an ardent worked for the LDS Church. His obituary stated, "Many a missionary to Wales during t
he years from 1850 to 1870 will remember his sturdy hospitality and unusually powerful voice which he raised so often in defense of the Gospel."
At the time the family migrated to America, they were living at Pontypridd (New Bridges). They sailed on the steamship "Nevada", leaving June 29, 1878. They arrived in New York City on July 10th and took a train to Logan Utah where they arrived
on July 20th.
John was the Branch President for the LDS Church in Eagle Rock (later called Idaho Falls).
John left his family and returned to Wales for almost two years to work as a missionary for the LDS Church. While on his mission, he compiled the "Magazine of the Missionary" into book form.
Margaret's mother died when she was two years old. Her father died when she was eleven. She was raised by an aunt.
Margaret moved to Dowlais when she was 15 years old to live with her older sister, Ann. This is where she met John Daniel Evans.

Thode also owned the Sandager Farm and had servants working for him.
His address in 1845 was Landem
rket 152 3rd floor, Copenhagen, Denmark.
Carl was listed as a gardener for a hospital at the time of his death. Kay Clark hypothesizes that it was the same hospital that Mogen Hans was born in and that is how Carl's son, Frederick eventually conencted with adopting Mogen Hans when Ane
Marie died.
Ira was living in Preston, Idaho and proposed marriage to Alicia via an air letter. Alicia was living in England at the time, studying nursing.
This sealing was first performed in the Swiss Temple by Gudrun Rage Dagsland, then later, as the records were thought lost by the LDS Church, they were again performed in the Logan Temple by Frida Rage Lund.
man. There also seemed to be a young man who seems to be the oldest daughter, Eliza's husband. Jean Rio kept an almost daily diary from the time they left London (January 4, 1851) until long after they arrived in the Salt Lake Valley.
The grou
p sailed out of Liverpool on January 11th. One of Jean's young sons died as the came across the Atlantic and he was buried at sea. After arriving in New Orleans, they took a river boat up the Mississippi River to St. Louis where they stayed for a month. Th
ere they purchased wagons and oxen for the trek across the plains. A river boat took them to Alexandria. They drove the wagons across to Winter Quarters, Nebraska and joined another group of Latter-day Saints heading west. The wagon train met friendly Indi
ans along the way and had several other experiences. A child was born to Eliza, Jean's oldest daughter in the Rocky Mountains east of the Salt Lake Valley. They arrived in the valley on September 29th, about nine months from when they had left England.
Before the Salt Lake Temple was completed many marriages and endowments wre held in a building constructed on the temple site for this purpose. In the Special Collections of the Old Endowment House Records (Index 25165, pt. 10) is this account:
"Wednesday, August 4, 1852. Warm day. About 8 am commenced preparations to administer the endowments to the following persons." And there is a list with Benjamin's name included.
Benjamin was working as a civil engineer for the railroad and one day while he was at work he was bitten by a rattlesnake and died from the poison.
Sarah Ann, for whatever reason, did not like living with Benjamin Walter Baker. She left her little boy, Benjamin Charles, with his father and returned to her parents. Wallace Olsen (Franklin, Idaho - as related to Leonard B. Lund) tells how Be
njamin Charles was just a child when his father took Sarrah in the wagon to Logan when she left. He ran behind the wagon for a ways, crying because his mother was leaving.

Ira started in First Grade with Mrs. Wright as his teacher. There were only 8 other children in the class. Second grade was taught by Mrs. Condie. There was no Third Grade teacher and so Mrs. Wright taught the morning Third Graders and Mrs. Con
die taught the afternoon. Mr. Reeder was Ira's Fourth Grade teacher. That's when he learned his times tables. It was in Fourth Grade that some students were bused from town, making the classes closer to 25-30 students each, rather than the smaller 8-12 stu
dents. Mr. Palmer was his Fifth Grade teacher. Mr. Condie, who was also the Principal was the sixth grade teacher.
The Whitney School house was in the country about one and a half miles from home. There were times in Sixth Grade when Ira would
deliberately miss the school bus and walk to school, arriving late. But Mr. Condie never said anything to him about it. There was a large field to surrounding the south and west sides of the school. During the winter the children would make snow men and t
rails in the snow during recess. There was also a baseball field. Sometimes during the late 1970's (long after Ira had left the school) all students were bused into other schools in town. Eventually the school and property were sold to the LDS Church which
had a chapel next door, and the school was tore down.
When Ira entered 7th grade, he went over town to school. Classes were changed every hour, so from grade 7 through 12, Ira had a different teacher. Some of the teachers he remembers most were; Mr. Biggs, the wood shop teacher; Mr Mitchell, Germa
n and English teacher; Mrs. Keller and Mrs. Hawkes, Englsih Teachers; and Mr. Wilde, Drafting Teacher.
As Ira grew up on the farm, he had many chores to do. From a young age he had chores both morning and night. Most school days, he got up to
feed the cows and calves before he got ready for school. Then in the evening he had to feed the animals again.
During the summertime there was always lots of work to do. In the spring, there was fence repairing. His father often took Ira and h
is brothers to the mountains to repair the fences that had been damaged by the heavy winter snows. Then there was flood irrigation that was done regularly during the summer. A few times, his Dad tried using sprinklers, but Ira hated moving the pipes twice
