Notes:

For some time I have been thinking about and would like to write a litt l e about what I remember about my paternal grandfather Anthon F. Andreas en . I knew Grandpa probably better than most of the grandchildren so tha t i s why I wanted to write a little about him .
My father, Elmer Andreasen, who was the only son, wrote a short histo r y of his father, and my Aunt Martha, one of four daughters also wrot e a h istory of her father. Both of the histories are interesting but als o ar e very different, enough so a person wonders if they are talking abo ut th e same person. I think this may say more about the writer than abou t th e subject they are writing about. I am sure that the impressions an d reme mbrances that I have of Grandpa will probably tell as much about m e as th ey do about him.
Grandpa was born in Denmark in 1876, the year of Custer’s Last Stan d . When his family moved from Denmark, they settled in Ogden Valley in t h e town of Eden. He had a Shire stallion while he lived in Eden. He cont in ued to live in Eden for quite a few years after he was married and the n h e moved to Farr West. His old farm is on the old highway that goes pa st S mith and Edwards. An old shed is all that remain of the buildings th ey ha d when they lived there.
Grandpa was 60 years old when I was born so my remembrances are of h i s older life. He had a gray horse named “Cap” as long as I could rememb er . It was his pride and joy.
Grandpa was a difficult person to get to know. I used to work in th e f ields with him while I was growing up. I think he liked me but he wa s no t one to express how he felt about people. I remember he went to se e me o ff, with my folks, when I went into the service [in December 1954] . He ha d a bit of advice he gave me as I left, it was part of a poem I t hink bu t the line I remember was “learn to labor and to wait” which whe n I thin k about it, is pretty good advice for someone going out to conqu er the wo rld. I didn’t realize until years later how significant it wa s for Grandp a to see me off. He didn’t do that sort of thing for very ma ny people tha t I know of and that is one reason that I think he liked m e even thoug h I used to wonder because of some of the things he would sa y .
As long as I can remember Grandpa was hard of hearing. He could sti l l hear until I was 8 - 10 years of age (1946-1948) but when he was in h i s late 60’s he got sick and lost almost all of his hearing. After tha t h e couldn’t really associate with others. When everyone would talk a t onc e he couldn’t hear what was being said. That made it hard for him t o soci alize and caused some people to not like him. I think one of the r eason s he seemed anti-social or aloof was because he had such a difficul t tim e hearing what was being said.
From then on he had to wear a hearing aid to hear anything at all. H i s hearing aid sat in his pocket and the amplifier was attached to his e ar . The background noise from the hearing aid used to be irritating to h im , so he only used it when he needed too. Most of the time when he wa s wor king in the field, he would take the hearing aid out of his ear an d put i t in his pocket. If Grandpa didn’t want to hear someone, especial ly Grand ma, he would turn off his hearing aid. That would make Grandma a ngry .
He was quite a handsome young man and probably got a little spoiled b e cause he was the only boy with several sisters. He did have a half-brot he r, Charlie Jensen, by his mother’s first marriage, who was nine year s old er than he was.
He served a mission to Denmark for the L.D.S. Church when he was in h i s 20’s.
Grandpa married my grandmother when he was about 30 years old and s h e was 20. They made quite an attractive couple. Aunt Martha told me th a t she thought theirs was a marriage made in heaven. From what I saw whi l e I knew them it was anything but. I thought it was a marriage of two v er y different people. I can’t remember of them ever going anywhere or do in g anything together just for fun. Seems to me they argued more than th e y did anything else. Grandma loved to go visit people and had friends e ve rywhere, Grandpa did not share this at all. I remember Grandma tellin g m e that one of the big dreams of her life was to retire from the far m an d travel, but when she told this to Grandpa he wanted nothing to d o wit h it. I know this was a frustrating thing to her but I often wonder ed wh y they never talked of such a thing until they were old enough to r etire .
Grandpa, helped build the road down Ogden Canyon from Huntsville to 1 2 th Street in Ogden. He had a team of horses so they paid him more. He a ls o had a scraper that he used to help build the road .
Note: We had a neighbor who’s father, Charlie Thurston ,
came to live with him. He had worked on the road with Grandpa Anthon a n d he told us a little about what they did. He told us that years late r h e saw President McKay sitting and he went up to him and slapped him o n th e knee and said, “Dady….” President McKay said that it had been a lo ng ti me since he had heard that.
Grandpa was the builder in our family. He built everything with han d t ools, mainly a hammer and hand saw. When I was sixteen he bought a ci rcul ar saw from Sears. I think that was the only power tool he ever owne d .
He was always building or remodeling something. Thanks to him we h a d a house. Grandpa would only build in the fall and the spring when al l t he farm work was done. When spring came he would stop building so h e coul d be out in the fields.
He helped my Dad build the out buildings on our farm. He was the on e w ho remodeled and added two rooms and a bathroom onto the two room hou s e I grew up in. He was pretty good at taking some old materials and mak in g something serviceable out of it, not necessarily pretty but usuall y ser viceable. He wasn’t bothered by building codes. The foundation unde r th e addition he put on our house was only about 8 inches wide and I do n’t t hink it was even a foot deep. I didn’t realize until years after wh y th e doors didn’t work and the floor slanted. No thought of putting foo ting s down below the frost line or any of the practices that are require d tod ay.
When I was a little kid the old plaster in our kitchen fell off the c e iling, it was a miracle it didn’t kill Mary Lou who was a baby at the t im e. Grandpa was the one who redid the plaster .
Grandpa built houses with old materials. In 1924 the red brick hous e h e and his family lived in was destroyed by fire, he built another hou se f or them. He also built the house he and Grandma lived in, the one ca lle d “the Gingerbread house”, when he was 75 years old. He mixed by hand , i n an old wheelbarrow, all of the concrete that went into the house. H e us ed whatever materials he could get his hands on. Some of the lumbe r and i tems had been used before, the rest he bought .
He was always a faithful church goer but he did not instill in al l o f his children the same values that he had. They did not live lives o f fu ll activity in the Mormon Church like Grandpa thought they should . I thin k his family was a big disappointment to him and perhaps one o f the reaso ns he used to loose himself in his farm work. I have wondere d if the Chur ch had the emphasis on families that they do now if thing s would have bee n any different, Grandpa being the faithful obedient per son he was .
Grandpa did have a temper and sometimes it went wild. His way of show i ng love for his family was to do “To Do Lists” that would help them. Gr an dpa was a good example to others, he led a clean life, he worked har d an d people respected him for the kind of person he was.
Once when Grandma was on her way home from Utah, she picked up a hitc h hiker and brought him home to stay. Grandpa was very concerned about wh a t could happen to her.
Grandpa was a quite a preacher. I heard him at a Sacrament meeting wh e n he gave a right smart sermon. I was impressed. My Dad said his Dad al wa ys felt good when he was asked to speak. Grandpa used to read a lot an d w as well versed in Church Doctrine. He would speak with no notes. The y di d not have the block program, as a result there was no time limit fo r Sac rament Meeting. If he wasn’t asked to talk and was asked to pray i t woul d be a 15 minute prayer. He was invited to speak at funerals and o ther me etings. There were three guys called upon, back then, to preach a t funera ls, Elton Hatch, Leland Woodbury and Grandpa .
My Dad used to talk about the way his father used to enjoy speaking b u t he (my Dad) thoroughly disliked it. I sometimes wonder why someone w h o didn’t talk to people much would enjoy talking before a congregatio n bu t I think part of it was because hearing and listening to others wa s no t a factor when you are the speaker. Another thing, it is quite diff eren t to be able to prepare and organize your thoughts ahead of time tha n t o be a spontaneous conversationalist .
When Grandpa lived in Farr West, he was drafted during the 1st Worl d W ar. They signed the peace treaty before he served .
In 1920 Grandpa moved from Farr West to Idaho. My Dad said that he ca m e to Idaho to get rich. Grandpa grew hay, grain and potatoes (everyon e gr ew potatoes back then). He had milk cows, one riding horse and sever al te ams over the years. Grandpa owned a gray horse team. When they die d he br ought another gray team. He never owned a tractor. His last tea m he boug ht a brown horse team.
Grandpa was a hard worker and expected others to work hard too. My D a d worked pretty close with Grandpa. He thought my dad was kind of laz y be cause he liked to go fishing and do things with his horses and othe r thin gs.
Edward Johnson, a grandson, lived with Grandpa and Grandma for sever a l years. As he got older he fell into disfavor with grandpa partly beca us e he didn’t come and help in the fields like Grandpa thought he ough t too .
Grandpa struggled with farming. He was known as the “Weed King” in Vi e w. One year the threshers cut his beans but refused to thresh them beca us e of the red root weeds in them. Grandpa went through his beans by han d a nd took out all the red roots so they could be threshed. This was i n th e days before combines.
He struggled with knowing when to sell his crop. Sometimes he misse d t he best price because he was hoping for a little more. Farmers were p oor . They scrabbled for a living. During the depression he almost lost h is f arm. My Dad sold his little band of sheep and used the money to sav e th e farm. He was given half of the farm to pay back the money .
One year Grandpa hired three guys from Utah to help him pick potatoe s . One of them said his name was Ted Williams. One night they took his s ad dle and other stuff including a tap and die set and left. He never rep ort ed it. They got away “scott free” .
Grandpa was always out in the fields working. When the relatives wou l d come from Utah he wouldn’t come in from the fields to visit, he alwa y s claimed to be too busy.
He farmed his farm well past the age when most people retire. Whe n h e was 82 years old he had an accident when he was plowing the plow ti ppe d over in the mud, he broke his hip and crawled to the house. He wa s take n to the old Burley Hospital. My classmate who was a nurse took ca re of h im. She said he was hard to work with. He told her, “No young whi per snap per is goin’ take my pants down”. Grandpa rarely went to doctor s .
He recovered enough to run his farm for a few more years before he so l d it to Jess Searle and sat down to wait to die .
If something had happened to Grandma before he died, someone would ha v e gotten some cheap dogs. He hated those things. They were miniature bl oo d Pomeranian and Maltese that she raise to sell. They were all over th e h ouse and porch and some of them were in the bottom kitchen drawers wh er e they raised their litters.
Grandpa, Anthon Fredrick Andreasen, died September 29, 1965 when he w a s 89 years old.
Grandpa is part of all of us. There is some of him in me, some of i t i s good and some of it is bad. Our Ancestors are our Ancestors and w e nee d to appreciate them for what they did .

"One Sunday, in the year 1888, as my father and mother were taking us ho m e from Sunday School, he stopped the carriage in front of a tent a phot og rapher had set up for a few days there in Eden, Utah, and had our pict ure s taken. My youngest sister, Emma, then five years old, sat for the p ictu re on a little chair in front center between father and mother, als o seat ed on chairs. She had her little doll sitting beside her on the fl oor. M y father's name was Jens Peter Andreasen while my mother's name wa s Ingeb orge Catherine Mouritzen. In the rear of father and mother stoo d the othe r four children, I, Veta Elfreda Patra, then eleven years old , stood on t he right of my father with my hand on his right shoulder, wh ile my brothe rs, Charles Jensen, (the only Child by my mother's first hu sband Frantz J ensen) and Anthon Andreasen stood on my left with my siste r Inga Catherin e on their left. The suit my father was wearing was mad e by hand by my mo ther. She owned one pair of scissors, one thimble an d two needles. Always , while she was sewing, she would sing the song tha t went like this: "Tom orrow the sun may be shining although it is cloud y today. Why worry or fr et, complaining, there will be a way open if yo u will." Father was abou t 48 1/2 years old when this picture was taken . He was the ward clerk an d president of his priesthood quorum. He woul d read out l oud to my mothe r every night. Mother was 46 1/2 y ears old . She made the dress she was w earing by hand. She was the secretary of t he Relief Society of the L.D.S . Church in the Town of Eden and took car e of music. Her voice had a perf ect pitch. When I was fourteen years o f age I was the organist. Anthon, t hen 12 1/2 years old, later went to W eber college (Acadamy) in Ogden, Uta h, and filled a mission to Denmark w hen he was 24 years of age. The dres s I was wearing was made by Rozell a Ferrin Larkin' s mother, Mrs. Moron i Ferrin, while the dress my 7 1/ 2 year old sister Catherine was wearing , as well as the one my five yea r old sister Emma was wearing was made b y my mother."

When my brother, Charles Jensen, was twenty-one years old, he left hom e f or Nevada, where he drove a stage coach from Wells to Elko, carried t he m ail, using four horses on the coach. He was a wonderful person wit h horse s. Later he married Bertha, Rudolph Klinkie's sister, whom he los t at th e birth of her second Child. Her first Child was named Alma Jense n (Murph y - John) She was my daughter Mary's age. She lives one hundre d miles sou th of Wells, Nevada, in a town named Arthur. One year after t he family pi cture was taken, Jens Peter Andreasen, my father, went to De nmark on a tw o year mission. While on his mission my mother became ver y ill with an ab scess on her chest. We three sisters sat up all night ta king turn s in tr eating of the abscess with oatmeal poultices and seein g to it that she go t good food. She was bed-ridden for two months. Old A dam Peters on came o ver three or four times during that winter with a ba sket of delicious foo d. My brother Anthon was about fourteen and one-hal f years old and it wa s my responsibility to help him with the milking."

Important Events:
Education: Fjordsgades Elementary and Highschool in Aarhus Denmark gradu a ted in 1923. In June 1953 I attended Leadership week at Brigham Young U ni versity took classes in Genealogy, Leadership and Puppetry also attend e d lectures given by Cleon Scousen on “The first 2000 years” later publi sh ed by him. A wonderful experience. Have attended several Leadership we ek s here in Ogden taken a number of different classes.

Employment: After graduating from Highschool I worked in a “Kiosk” in Aa r hus. A place where magazines, newspapers, stamps and telegrams are sol d . Then I clerked in a shoestore owned by Anthon Höegh and located in St ud sgade. Next I worked in the office of a shoe manufacturer and wholesal e r by the name of Timm, located on Kystvejen also in Aarhus. After comi n g to Salt Lake City I did housework for a year and a half in the hom e o f Frederick U. Leonard. Took care of a 17 room house, cooked three me al s a day for 8 people and took care of two children in the family. Thei r h ome was at 941 East 5th South, Salt Lake City. After leaving this jo b I c lerked at ZCMI for awhile till I got married.

Church Activities: As a teenager I was secretary in Sundayschool and ass i stant organist in Aarhus Branch, Denmark. In 1943 I started working a s ch oral director in Primary in Highland Ward, Mr. Ogden Stake. Later wa s mad e counselor in the 33rd Ward Primary, Mt. Ogden Stake. Worked toget her wi th Mabel Burgenar, President, Lois Glenn, Counselor, Dolores Hunte r, Secr etary. In Dec. 1949 I was set apart as President of this same Pri mary.

Barney's Childhood in SLC (from an interview with Vonae)

"I don't remember much before we moved to Third Avenue (I was four or fi v e). But I do remember having chores there. I wasn't too fond of washin g d ishes, but Mother would always prop a hymn book up and have us sing h ymn s if we weren't cooperating perfectly. My job was feeding the chicken s .

On Third Avenue we had a lot 165 feet deep. We kept chickens and rabbit s , before they were outlawed. But we really enjoyed it. We had lots of g oo seberry bushes, current bushes, and fruit trees: plum, apricot, peac h an d apple. My Dad and Mother loved fruit and vegetables. We always ha d a ga rden. I had a lot responsibilities there.

When we moved in 1934, the streetcar ran on Third Avenue. The trolley w a s always running up and down the street. We used to put pennies on th e tr ack and the streetcar would come along and smash them flat. They wou ld tu rn out the size of a quarter! When I was a young boy I had twin ger man sh epherds. I loved those dogs and had a lot of fun with them .

One day one of them ran after the trolley and got ran over. He laid do w n by the old coal furnace in the basement—where it was warm. He only la st ed two to three weeks. That was a hard time. The other shepherd refuse d t o eat the last week to 10 days, so I lost both dogs. I have never ha d a d og since then. It somehow made a big difference to me."

Obituary:
Elfreda Malan Tanner Clark, Age 88 died peacefully on Thursday, Octobe r 3 rd, in her apartment at Covington Senior Living in Orem, Utah after s ever al months of declining health.

Elfreda was born on April 13, 1931 in Salt Lake City, Utah to Henry Bern a rd Tanner and Edna Bertha Malan Tanner, sixth child in a family of eigh t . She graduated from East High School and then received a B.S. degre e i n Home Economics with a minor in Music from the University of Utah. F ollo wing, she was encouraged by her brother Henry to attend the Dental H ygien e program at the University of Southern California. She lived wit h his fa mily, helping to care for her nephew and nieces for two years wh ile worki ng towards a second B.S. degree in Dental Hygiene. It is here w e must pau se to say, “Fight ON!” as she became a lifelong, diehard SC Tr ojan fan. S outhern California became her home for nearly thirty five yea rs, it is wh ere she married, pursued her career, and raised her four dau ghters .

Elfreda’s favorite color was undeniably RED. The color is so symboli c o f her fiery spirit and passion for dentistry, music, family, civic du ty a nd faith. You could easily light up her day with a box of chocolate s tie d up in a red ribbon - especially if it was from See’s Candy!
“Freddy” as she was called by friends in her dental community, loved th a t her dental hygiene license was in the “top 10” in the state of Utah . 6t h to be exact just as she was the 6th child. She was active in the A meric an Dental Hygiene Association until she retired by attending annua l confe rences and serving in various roles for her Chapter, including Pr esident . She was an instructor of Dental Anatomy at USC’s Dental Hygien e Schoo l and Pasadena City College. It was not uncommon for her to jok e that he r perfectionist nature made her perfect for a career in denta l hygiene, a s she was just so “picky, picky, picky”.

Elfreda had a great sense of civic duty. As a child in Salt Lake City, s h e would walk the Avenues door to door to rally votes for candidates. F o r nearly two decades she volunteered at the voting polls, greeting vote r s with her engaging smile while serving her local community. She was al s o very active in the PTA holding various roles, including President o f th e Parent Student Teacher Association at her daughters Junior High Sc hoo l for two years. She remained actively involved in her college sorori ty , Kappa Kappa Gamma attending reunions and luncheons into her 80’s. Th e s ame with her sisters of the Daughters of the American Revolution, an d Dau ghters of Utah Pioneers.
Elfreda was blessed with a beautiful voice, a talent that she spent ma n y years perfecting and using to serve others. She sang in a highly soug h t after trio in junior high and high school and a sextette in college . Wh ile at the UofU, she felt it was a great privilege to have studied w ith J ohn Marlo Nelson at the admired U’s Opera Department. She loved sin ging d uets with her brother Barney, they were both soloists in the Eas t 27th wa rds production of the Messiah. Elfreda remained actively involv ed in th e Opera for decades, especially with her involvement in the Uta h Opera As sociation. When she attended Dental Hygiene school at USC sh e continued t o study and train and perform at USC’s School of Opera. Sh e was the soloi st at the dedication of the Hacienda Heights Stake buildi ng ceremonies , a performance that was held dear to her heart. She expres sed many time s that this gift of music was her talent to care for and sh are with other s. Elfreda felt closest to our father-in-heaven when she s ang, those wh o had the privilege of hearing her beautiful mezzo-sopran o voice were oft en moved to tears through her spirit.

Elfreda was an active member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-d a y Saints, and served the church in many capacities over her life. A fe w o f her most personable and memorable callings, were, Stake Young Adul t Lea der, Stake Music Chairman, and Relief Society spiritual living teac her. S he willing and readily shared her musical talent at countless chur ch serv ices, funerals and weddings.

Beloved by her four daughters, she generously gifted them with her lov e o f music, sewing, baking, sense of duty and most importantly a testimo ny o f our Savior.
