Yesterday’s answer:
B John A. Widtsoe
From the life of John Andreas Widtsoe:
“He followed no well-worn road, he had no early advantage. He came
to earth in an inconspicuous place, on a rocky island among fisher folk on a
winter night, with the wind adding its cold and comfortless sounds to the
breaking waves of the North Sea. It was little expected that he should live. He
was born with his hand attached to his head, and a crude operation had to be
performed.”
The baby described in these words of
Richard L. Evans was John Andreas Widtsoe, and the place was the Isle of
Froyen, Norway. To add to his early disadvantages, John’s father died when the
boy was six, and at about the same time his mother became a near outcast by
espousing a strange religious sect known as “Mormonism.” But because of her
newly found faith and her indomitable desire to improve the opportunities of
her two sons, she set sail for America, the land of abundant resources.
