Yesterday’s answer:
B Stole food for them
From the life of Else Margretha Poulsen Larsen Anderson:
Else Margretha was almost five years old when she left her home in
Denmark with her parents who had been converted to the Church of Jesus Christ
of Latter-day Saints. They traveled on to Liverpool where her grandmother
because so ill, the parents sent six year old Else and seven year old Paul on
their scheduled sailing vessel, “Jesse Munn,” with a woman who had promised to
look out for the children. They were not cared for and would have starved if it
had not been for a stowaway boy who stole food for them.
The children waited many weeks in Kansas City for their parents to
arrive. Finally, the parents arrived and the family began the trek across the
Plains in the Hans Peter Olsen Wagon Company. Else fell from the wagon seat and
the wagon passed diagonally across her chest. She had to walk the remainder of
the trek. Their company arrived in Salt Lake Valley, October, 1854.
