  • Story: Ana Sorensen Fredericksen 1826-1870

    From Mammoth book:<br>Ane Sorensen was born 13 Aug 1826 to Soren Mortensen and Mette Marie Rasmussen.&nbsp; She had come to America aboard the ship Westmoreland.&nbsp; There were 544 Scandinavian Saints aboard the Westmoreland.&nbsp; They were under the direction of Mathias Cowley&nbsp; who was returning from a mission in England with three other elders.&nbsp; The voyage across the Atlantic lasted 36 days.&nbsp; The voyage was rather a usual emigrant trip.&nbsp; Three people including two small children died, 5 couples were married and one child was born.&nbsp; The Saints arrived at Philadelphia 31 May and left 2 June by rail and traveled through Baltimore and Wheeling arriving in Iowa on 9 June.&nbsp; Four additional people died while on the train.&nbsp; The members of the handcart company pitched their tents in SLC on 13 Sep 1857.&nbsp; <p>Adolph Fredericksen was born 27 Aug 1815 in Bregninge, Holbak, Denmark to Frederick Christensen and Maren Jensen. He married Karen Petersen in Denmark prior to 1840. They were baptized on 28 April 1853.</p><p>Adolph and Karen came to the United States aboard the ship James Nesmith. They left Copenhagen on 17 Nov 1854. They came into New Orleans. They boarded the steamboat Oceana, and went on the Mississippi River to St. Louis, Missouri, they then went to Atchison, Kansas on the steamboat Clara. They finally reached Mormon Grove which was the place designated as the outfitting point for Saints to cross the plains in 1855. They had been in transit 23 months by the time they reached Salt Lake City 13 Sep 1856. Probably the reason the journey took so long was Adolph was one of the Saints that stayed in St. Louis to work and get the means to outfit to get to SLC.</p><p>They moved to Spanish Fork and it was during this year Adolph was sent to SLC to meet one of the companies of immigrants and take some of them to Spanish Fork. In this company were Morton, Neils and Anna Sorensen, two brothers and a sister. Anna and others of the company went with Adolph to Spanish Fork and the two brothers went further south. Anna stayed at the Fredericksen home in Spanish Fork. Karen was ill at the time and Anna treated her with great kindness. It was during polygamy. Anna desired to become Adolph&#39;s second wife. Karen and Adolph discussed the idea and Anna and Adolph were married 18 Oct 1857. She was 31 years old.</p><p>Anna was a hard working dutiful wife to Adolph and like a sister to Karen.&nbsp; People said that was one family in which polygamy worked, as they always lived in one home together and got along just fine.&nbsp; Anna had five children, four girls and one boy.&nbsp; Mary, Joseph, Eliza, Josephine, and Caroline.<br>&nbsp;&nbsp; <br>The family lived in Spanish Fork until the spring of 1859 when they moved to Mt. Pleasant.&nbsp; They lived there the rest of their lives except when she stayed in Parowan where Eliza was born.&nbsp; They are buried in Mt. Pleasant.&nbsp; </p><p>Four months after her last child was born, Anna was in the field helping strip sugar cane and a scorpion stung her on the cheek or neck and she swelled up and choked to death.&nbsp; She died on 23 Sept 1870.&nbsp; Adolph&#39;s first wife Karen raised the three girls and was a real mother to them.&nbsp; Because of the ill health of their step-mother, Eliza and her sister Mary did most of the work in the home.&nbsp; They also took care of the baby Caroline.&nbsp; Adolph died in Mt. Pleasent on 15 Jan 1888.</p>
