Notes |
- "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."
