When Ane Marie Hansen’s family immigrated to Utah, she desired to bring a part of Denmark with her. What did she carry across the plains?
a.                  Wooden shoes
b.                  A miniature windmill
c.                   Skates
d.                  An Apple tree
Yesterday’s answer:
B   Wore cloth shoes
From the life of Emma Wilde Carruth:   While living in Sugar House, the family had to walk to the Tabernacle Square for their meetings, over twenty-five blocks. In order to save her shoes she would wear some cloth shoes, that her mother had made and carry her others to put on when she arrived.
