³Thomas M. Autrey, History of Gregson, Ruth Autrey. "REMARKS GIVEN BY THOMAS MARVIN AUTREY BROTHER TO RUTH GREGSON..........22 APRIL 1996........IVY LAWN CEMETERY.

         Ruth was nine years old when I was born and, from what I have been told she took care of me a lot when I was a baby.

         My earliest recollections of Ruth was when I was four or five when we lived in Bisbee Arizona.  I can remember her reading to me and I remember her playing the piano.

         Ruth loved music, she played violin in the School Orchestra, but her great love and talent was the piano.  She would play for us anytime we wanted her to and her music was one of our greatest sources of entertainment.

         When we left our home in Arizona and moved to Texas, As soon as we got settled, my Dad and Bill made a special trip back to Arizona to get Ruth's piano, so we could have music in our home again.

         Although when we were growing up we might have been considered poor because we did not have a lot of material possessions.  None of us realized that because we had a good family that loved and respected each other, and because of that we had sufficient for our needs and that is what is important.  We did things together and enjoyed each others company.

         When we lived on the Ranch in Texas, Ruth became my best friend.  After she graduated from High School she stayed at home to help my mother, because ranch life was hard.  There were no modern conviences and no close neighbors. Ruth was never a complainer, when something had to be done she did it.

         I remember on hot summer afternoons, we would sit on the front porch and Ruth would read stories to me or play checker's,  she would usually let me win.

        Ruth loved to cook and my mother taught her well except she had trouble making pie crust.  When she and Glen were married she was determined to learn how, and she would start early in the morning after Glen went to work and, if the crust did not turn out well she would take it out to the back of the house and throw it down a old mine shaft.  Their were a lot of pie crusts in that mine shaft before she mastered the art.  She was persistent when she wanted something bad enough she would work at it until she got it.

         She faced adversity with grit and determination.  Ruth was loyal to her family and she raised  four fine children who love and respect her.

         She and Glen had their 57th Wedding Anniversary on March 30th this year.

         For the past four or so years as she battled the cancer within her, Glen has shown his love and respect for her by devoting all of his time and energy to care for her.

          For his loving and uncomplaining care for her we owe him our respect and graditude.

         I hope that all of you will stay close to each other and continue your family traditions.  Remember the good times that you have all shared together."

By Great Granddaughter Donna L.Ball Autrey
Lineage through Rasmus Nielsen and Fourth Wife Louisa W. Rasmussen Nielsen

Rasmus Nielsen was the son of Niels Knudsen and Kerstin Rasmus.  Rasmus was born 11 October 1848 at Alersee, Odense, Denmark.  He was baptized 11 October 1867 in Denmark. To my understanding, both of his parents died in Denmark.  Records show Father 1877 and Mother 1865.
 
Rasmus was a Veterinarian learning the trade from his father in Denmark who worked in the King of Denmark's employ.  When Rasmus was the age of 19 he heard the Gospel and accepted it and was baptized into "The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter- Day Saints" and came to America with some of the LDS Emigrants.

The records show that on the Mormon Immigration Index CD, that Rasmus boarded the Packet Sailing Ship "Emerald Isle" The last of this type to cross the ocean to America.  He was 20 years of age and Origin: Denmark, Occupation Saddler.  It shows that no member of his family came with him.

Emerald Isle Sailing Ship (1968):
A Compilation of General Voyage Notes
"DEPARTURES. -- The magnificent packet ship Emerald Isle sailed from this port for New York on the 20th June, with a company of Saints numbering in all 876 souls.  Of these 627 were from Scandinavia, and the rest from the British Isles.  The following named returning missionaries were in the company: -- Elders Hans Jensen Hals, John Fagerberg, and Peter Hansen, from the Scandinavian Mission; and James Smith and Henry Barlow, from the British Mission; also Samuel Southwick, James Stuart, Andrew Simmons, and Elisha Peck, native elders, who have been travelling in the ministry.  Elder Hans Jensen Hals was appointed president of the company, and Elders James Smith and John Fagergerg his counselors.  Previous to sailing, a meeting was held on deck, when Elder Carl Widerborg in Danish and Elder Charles W. Penrose in English addressed the Saints.  Everyone was in good spirits, and was thankful to the God of Israel for deliverance from Babylon . . . . "

"Sat. 20. [June 1868] -- The packet ship Emerald Isle sailed from Liverpool, England, with 876 Saints, under the direction of Hans Jensen Hals.  It arrived at New York harbor, after an unpleasant voyage, Aug. 11th.  The emigrants landed on the 14th and arrived at Benton, on the Union Pacific Railroad, about seven hundred miles west from Omaha, Aug. 15th Thirty-seven deaths occurred on the ocean, and others died in the hospital in New York."

". . . About 630 emigrants left Copenhagen by the steamer 'Hansia,' June 13, 1868.  On the departure the brethren had considerable trouble with the police authorities in Copenhagen.  After a successful voyage across the North Sea, the company arrived in Hull, England, on Tuesday, June 16th, and in the evening of the same day they went by train to Liverpool.  Here they found accommodations in seven different hotels, where they, with the exception of one place, received anything but decent treatment; and when they on the 19th went on board the ship 'Emerald Isle,' they were insulted in most every imaginable way.  On the 20th the ship sailed from Liverpool, carrying a company of emigrants consisting of 877 souls, of whom 627 were Scandinavians, all in charge of Elders Hans Jensen (Hals) as president with James Smith and John Fagerberg as assistants.  Elder Peter Hansen was appointed commissary for the Scandinavians, and Elder Mons Pedersen, who had labored faithfully for four years in the mission office in Copenhagen, was chosen as secretary.  Eighteen other Scandinavian emigrants sailed this year by other ships, some of them from Hamburg and some from Norway.
On June 26th the 'Emerald Isle' sailed into the harbor of Queenstown to take fresh water on board, as a certain machine on the vessel used to distill seawater for culinary purposes was out of commission and could not speedily be repaired.  While the ship waited at Queenstown Elders Hans Jensen (Hals) and James Smith had an excellent opportunity to accompany the captain on a railway trip to Cork.  On the 29th the ship left Queenstown, but the voyage after that was anything but pleasant.  The emigrants received very rough and harsh treatment, both from officers and crew, and only by the strong protest of Elder Hans Jensen (Hals) in their behalf did they succeed in getting a part of their rights according to the contract made.  On one occasion, when one of the ship's mates attacked a sister by the name of Sander, Brother Jensen took hold of the mate and pulled him away, while sharply reproving him for his conduct.  Soon a lot of sailors came up ready for a fight, but the incident ended when the offender got a severe reprimand from the captain, whom Brother Jensen reminded of the promises made.  No other company of emigrating Saints from Scandinavia are known to have met with such bad treatment as this on board any ship in crossing the Atlantic Ocean.  Fortunately it was the last company of Scandinavian Saints which crossed the Atlantic in a sailing vessel.  From that time on only steamers were employed in the transportation of the Saints.  It was not alone the rough treatment which the emigrants received from the ship's crew that made the voyage so unpleasant, but the water taken on board at Queenstown soon became stagnant and unfit for use, causing much sickness among the passengers, and no less than 37 deaths occurred on the voyage.  Many of these, however, were caused by measles among the children, but the stagnant water, which all the passengers had to use, was undoubtedly the real cause of the heavy death rate.
On August 11th the ship arrived at the entrance of New York harbor and 30 of the sick were taken ashore on Staten Island.  The following day (August 12th) eight other sick people were landed, and finally, after being held in quarantine three days, the rest of the emigrants were landed at Castle Garden, August 14th.  On the same day a steamer conveyed the emigrants a few miles up the Hudson River, where they found shelter in a warehouse for a couple of days, while their baggage was being weighed.  While staying there a boy belonging to the company died.  On the 17th the journey was resumed by railway from New York and the emigrants traveled via Niagara, Detroit and Chicago to Council Bluffs, where they arrived on the 21st.  The following day (August 22nd) they were taken across the Missouri River by a steamboat and thence they traveled by the Union Pacific Railroad to Benton, seven hundred miles west of Omaha, arriving there in the morning of August 25th.  Here the Church teams met the emigrants and took them to their camp on the Platte River, about six miles from Benton, where they remained till August 31st, when the Scandinavian Saints took up the journey across the mountains by ox train led by Captain John G. Holman, while the English emigrants about the same time left by mule teams.  Elder Hiram B. Clawson acted this year as emigration agent for the Church.  The English Saints traveling with mule teams could ride, while the Scandinavians traveling with slow ox teams, walked most of the way to Salt Lake City.  Sickness continuing to rage among the Scandinavian emigrants, about thirty died between New York and Salt Lake City, where the surviving part of this, the 28th, company of emigrating Saints from Scandinavia arrived on the 25th of September, 1868 . . . ."


Deseret News also shows the list in Holman's Company.
The records show that Rasmus work his way across the United States by the Wagon Train Company of John G. Holman (1868 See Below)

Holman's OX-Train are: Deseret News Article Lists all in this group including Rasmus Nielsen. http://udn.lib.utah.edu/cgi-bin/docviewer.exe?CISOROOT=/deseretnews2&CISOPTR=38808&CISOSHOW=38810&CISOSHOW2=38823

Holman's ox train of 62 wagons left the rail terminus at Benton, Wyoming, on September 1 with 628 emigrants. Benton was located 11 miles east of present-day Rawlins, Wyoming. This end-of-track town was in existence for only three months, but during its brief history more than 100 people were reported to have died there in gunfights. The company was delayed in Benton when a woman in their company was arrested on a trumped-up charge and they had to wait for her trial. U.S. soldiers had to protect the company when an enraged mob from the railroad town marched on the Wagon Company. The mob had been angered by false rumors to the effect that the Mormons were intent on taking a woman to Utah against her will.

Most of those who traveled to Utah in Holman's company crossed the Atlantic aboard the ship Emerald Isle. Many in this company were Danes and Swedes who suffered much sickness while crossing the ocean and after landing in New York. Also traveling with the company were 8 independent wagons with about 40 passengers. After getting off the train and being loaded into the Church wagons, this company traveled in a northwesterly direction from Benton through Whiskey Gap and northward from there until they reached the Sweetwater River and the old emigrant road on September 8. As did many other companies in the 1860s, after coming through Echo Canyon they traveled to Silver Creek and then down Parley's Canyon into the valley. They arrived in Salt Lake on September 25. Twenty-two people died between Benton and Salt Lake.-----

Upon arriving in Utah in about October 1969, he settled first in Payson, Utah (1870) Census and then in Spanish Fork, Utah.  Rasmus married his first wife, Larsena Kristine Nielsen (Sena) on 8 Nov 1869 in the Endowment House, Salt Lake City.  She was 15 years old at the time and he was 21.  To this Union was born twelve children.  Rasmus and "Sena" raised their children in the Mormon faith (The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints).   Rasmus and Larsena (Sena) were given a Temple Divorce 7 February 1921 as requested by Larsena.  (Information from a living family member is that when polygamy was abolished and the men were forced to choose one wife, Rasmus would not choose one over the others so he therefore lived with none.,)
To this Union twelve children were born:  1871-1893.

Rasmus had a total of five wives:
Wife number two was Hannah Christine Jensen born 22 December 1856 in Allese Sogn, Odense, Denmark, Married to Rasmus 5 April 1875 Endowment House, Salt Lake City Utah.  Died 1876, Spanish Fork, Utah. No children.

Wife number three was Anne Beckstrom born 15 February 1854 in Sweden. Married 22 November 1875 in Endowment House, Salt Lake City, Utah.  No children born to this Union that I know of.  Her second marriage shows to a David Johnson in 1881.

Wife number four was my Great Grandmother Louisa (Luse) Wilhelmina Rasmussen born 31 July 1858 in Hjorslev, Odense, Denmark, Entered into plural marriage with Rasmus Nielsen on 21 December 1877 in the St. George Temple and was sealed. To this Union were born ten children: from 1878-1896.   My descendency comes from their second child Zina Louise Nielsen born 22 February 1880 in Spanish Fork.
Louisa W. Nielsen wife of Rasmus was a dressmaker and a wonderful gardner.  She was able to bring in some money to help with the expenses.   My mother, Alice May Krogh granddaughter of Louisa use to spend her summers there in Spanish Fork helping in the garden brining in the Vegetables and helping with the flowers.  This is were she got her love of this.  Rasmus was never around much she said.   Louisa came to this country from Denmark in 1877 with her sister Hertha and the new members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.  She sailed on the ship Wisconsin. Her Father and Mother sailed earlier June 1876 on the Ship Idaho with six siblings show on the Emmigration Record.

Information given from Great Great Granddaughter Denise(Humphrey)Clardy for below Wife No. 5

Wife number five was Maren Kirstine (Martha) Larsen born 3 January 1858 at Herstedvester, Copenhagen, Denmark. She was baptized May 1868 (Denmark) Maren was also known as Martha.  At the age of eleven, she came to America with her parents (on the ship Minnesota, July 1869).  They settled in Spanish Fork, Utah.  

Maren entered into plural marriage with Rasmus Nielsen as his fifth wife on 9 February 1880, in the Endowment House in Salt Lake City, Utah.
To this Union were born five children. 1881-1891.
Rasmus and Maren settled in Spanish Fork and raised their family in the Mormon faith.  Maren and Rasmus were given a temple divorce 10 March 1894 (Information from living family member is that when polygamy was abolished and the men were forced to choose one wife, Rasmus would not choose one over the others so he therefore lived with none.).

1870 Census shows Rasmus and First Wife Sena living in Payson.

Information from the book Spanish Fork - City On The Rio de Aguas Calientes.....
1874:    The Spanish Fork Cooperative Mercantile Institution purchased a grist mill; they also started a shoe factory on June 12th in a little adobe building on the east side of Main Street between Center and First North.  A harness factory was started at the same time in a building south of the shoe factory.  The first man hired was Rasmus Nielsen.  Harnesses, saddles, buggy whips and lap robes were made at the factory..


1880 Census of Spanish Fork, Utah shows Rasmus living with First Wife Sena and 2 children.

1887: Rasmus was very active in community affairs: Deseret Newspaper article dated June 8, 1887 says that he was to serve on the Committee for the Utah County Fair for Spanish Fork with others listed in this county. http://www.lib.utah.edu/digital/unews

Rasmus Nielsen's Draft Horse(1889): Newspaper Article from the
"Provo Daily Enquirer News February 26 1889"
"Something that will be of great interest to farmers of this county and elsewhere is the announcement of Rasmus Nielsen of Spanish Fork, that he will stand for the season of 1889 his pure bred dapple-Grey Percheron stallion, "Roustan,"and his famous trotting stallion, "Chief." "Roustan"is the fine horse that was imported from France the year before last, being a direct descendent of the famous Arab stallion, "Gallipoli," that stood at the French Government stud stables at Pin, near Bellerne, about the year 1820. He is an extra good walker, and has the movements of a trotter. He proved himself last season in this county to be a very sure horse. His weight is 1730 pounds. The trotting horse "Chief" is so well known in the community as to need but little said by us. His colts are natural trotters and runners. $700. having been offered for some of them."

Aged Veterinarian Suffers Fractured Skull When He Fails to See Oncoming Auto and Is Struck"
    Dr. R. Neilsen died at a late hour today from the effects of injuries received when he was struck by a car driven by H. G. Edwards yesterday afternoon.
    Dr. Rasmus Neilsen was in an unconscious condition at the General hospital at noon today after being struck by an automobile on the Fort Hall highway yesterday afternoon.  The car was driven by H. C. Edwards of 428 East Lovejoy street.  Dr. Neilsen is 79 years of age, a former veterinarian and an inmate of the county infirmary.  His condition is critically serious and doubt exists as to his chances of recovery.
    Dr. Nielsen was reported to have been walking along the paved highway about three hundred feet north of the green Triangle Inn when a car in which J. H. Holt and Cecil Bartlett of 405 North Main street passed him.  They decided to give the pedestrian a lift and as they were slackening speed Dr. Nielsen is said to have started to cross from the left to the right side of the road, not noticing the approaching Edwards car.  He was thrown against the windshield after being struck by a fender.
    Doctor Neilsen was rushed to St. Anthony hospital for emergency treatment and later removed to the General hospital.  His skull is fractured.

'NO INQUEST IN NEILSEN CASE" Pocatello Tribune, November 23, 1927 Page 3.
Death of Veterinary Surgeon Accidental; Funeral Thursday
    County Coroner  M. L. McHan announced today that no inquest will be held over the remains of Dr. rasmus Neilsen who died yesterday of a fractured skull suffered when he was struck by an automobile Sunday while  walking on the highway north of town.  In the coroner's opinion death was accidental and no blame is attached to H. C. Edwards, driver of the car.
    Mr. Neilsen practiced as a veterinary surgeon in Pocatello having lived here about 37 years.  He operated a harness shop in connection with his practice and was widely known.  He was one of the very early pioneers of the west coming soon after the first ox team crossed the plains.  As a soldier he fought in the Danish-German war in 1853 and in the war between France and Germany in 1871.  Born in Denmark in 1840 he lived to the age of 87.  Surviving him are a number of sons and daughers who are at widely scattered points.  Among them are Ed Neilsen of Arlington, Idaho; Ike Neilsen of Aberdeen:  Mrs. Edna C. Houtz and Mrs Ruby Hodges of Salt Lake City. His widow is living at Spanish Fork, Utah.  A son, J. R. Neilsen of Buhl, is in the city to conclude funeral arrangements.  Services will be held from the Schumacher-Beasley pariors tomorrow morning at 11 o'clock.  Interment will be in Mountainview Cemetery."

Notes: "DEPARTURE. -- The S. S. Wisconsin left Liverpool on the 27th ultimo, with quite a company of emigration, including from Scandinavia, Sweden, Germany, Switzerland, Holland, and England, some 714 souls, with the returning elders as follows:  Bishop J. Rowberry, who had charge of the whole, Brother E. F. Branting in charge of the Scandinavians, Brother Martin Lenzi in charge of the Swiss and German, Brother P. J. Lammers in charge of those from Holland, and Brother Rulon S. Wells as recorder; also Brothers L. Wirthlin, S. Nilsen, J. A. Andersen, C. Jensen, H. P. Iversen, H. Thunneson, C. Larsen and Jens Keller, who would aid after organization in securing the comfort and welfare of the traveling Saints.  It was remarked by officers of the Guion Co. that they had never seen a company start with such precision before, there was no hitch anywhere; the inspection was passed successfully, and noted by the examining physician as including  a remarkably healthy and extra proportion of children.  The company have the hearty prayers of the Saints in Europe for their safe arrival in Zion; and for the returning elders, blessing for their labors in the gospel, and best wishes for pleasant renewal of the associations of family and friends."


"Wed. 27. [June 1877] -- The steamship Wisconsin sailed from Liverpool, England, with 714 Saints, in charge of John Rowberry.  The company arrived at New York July 7th, and at Salt Lake City July 14th."


". . . The first company of the season's emigration from Scandinavia sailed from Copenhagen, June 21, 1877, in two steamships, namely, the 'Argo' and the 'Pacific.'  There were 471 souls of emigrants and eight returning missionaries, namely, Erik F. Branting, John A. Anderson, Sven Nilsson, Christen Jensen, Hans Peter Iversen, Eric M. Larsen, Hans Thunnesen and Jens Keller.  For several days prior to the departure the emigrating Saints had gathered in Copenhagen from the different conferences, and the elders who had the emigration affairs in hand were very busy at the mission office, making their arrangements.  The emigrating Saints seemed very satisfied and happy in saying goodbye to the lands of their nativity, to gather with the people of God in the valleys of the mountains.  The embarkation of the Saints took place without accident or the least disturbance.  The greater part of the emigrants went on board the 'Argo,' while a small company, mostly emigrants from the Christiania and Goteborg Conferences, took passage on the 'Pacific.'  About 6:30 p.m. the 'Argo' steamed out of the harbor and was soon afterwards followed by the 'Pacific.'  After a successful voyage across the North Sea, both ships arrived safely in Hull, England, on Sunday, June 24th, the 'Argo' at 9 o'clock a.m. and the 'Pacific' at 8 o'clock p.m.  The emigrants landed the following day (June 25th) and proceeded at once by railroad  to Liverpool, where they boarded the steamship 'Wisconsin,' together with a number of British, German, Swiss, and Dutch Saints.  Bishop John Rowberry was appointed captain of the whole company, while Elder Erik F. Branting was continued as captain of the Scandinavian emigrants.  The 'Wyoming' [Wisconsin] sailed from Liverpool, June 27th, and arrived in New York, July 7th.  From New York the journey was continued by rail westward the same day and the emigrants arrived safe and well in Ogden and Salt Lake City, July 14th.  Three Scandinavian couples were married en route and a hour after the arrival in Salt Lake City, the wife of Martin Christensen, from the Aalborg Conference, gave birth to a daughter. . . ."


Notes of:
Letter by John Rowberry - July 7, 1877
New York, July 7th, 1877.
President Joseph F. Smith.
Dear Brother,--I drop a few lines to inform you of our safe arrival in New York.  We left Queenstown at 9 o’clock on the morning of the 8th instant, going out on a very smooth sea, a more joyful or happier set of people I think never left that harbor; it continued thus until late in the evening when the sea began to roll in heavy swells, causing the ship to rock considerably.  You have been enough at sea to imagine the consequence of a thousand landsmen unaccustomed to marine life being tossed to and fro on the waves.  This continued about twenty-four hours, when the sick began gradually to recover and resume their former cheerfulness with very few exceptions.  Sister [Sarah] Pendrey has been very sick indeed, and is even now quite low.  The elders appointed by you to assist me as well as the other returning missionaries, have been very energetic in keeping the Saints alive, and in the spirit of union; it is no small matter to keep a good understanding where there are so many nationalities and languages, but through the blessing of God we have been enabled to do so, to my knowledge not a jar or misunderstanding has occurred throughout the voyage.  Captain Forsyth, the purser, the doctor, and in fact all the officers have been very kind, doing all in their power that would contribute to the convenience and comfort of our emigrants; and extending to us every courtesy and privilege that could be desired.  We have now landed and are on the rails preparatory for going to the mountains.
Remember me kindly to your family, and all at “42.” [42 Islington WAS THE ADDRESS OF THE BRITISH MISSION IN LIVERPOOL.]  Praying our Heavenly Father to continue his blessings, I remain your brother in the gospel-

She came to Utah, July 24, 1877, with her sister, Sophia.  Their father and mother, who had emigrated two years before, met them in Salt Lake City.  The family first went to Payson to reside.  She married Rasmus Nielsen, December 19, 1877, and they made their home in Spanish Fork.  To this union ten children were born., five sons and five daughters.  Surviving are the following:  Edward Nielsen, Delbert L.

!     She was always a faithful Latter-day Saint, and was a member of the Fifth Ward Relief Society at the time of her death.  On her recent 78th birthday, she was honored by the Relief Society and at that time a beautiful tribute was written and read by Mrs. Eleanor B. Jarvis, which was as follows:

!  "We the members of the Fifth Ward Relief Society, pause to honor one of our loved members on her 78th Birthday.  Congratulations and best wishes for many happy returns permeates the very atmosphere and each one of our hearts recalls memories of her life with us.  Our earliest recollections are of her devotion and love to her family.  Her humble home where she guided their footsteps in paths of happiness and love.
    She has taught us tolerance and that only through service and love can we find true happiness.  We wish her health and joy and hope that her evening of life may bring her happy memories of a life given in service and love to her home, her children, and to us.  May we set for us and in her honor we consider this little poem,

"Happiness:" By Elizabeth R. Stanlaker very appropriate:
    O I have come to know by journeying far,
    How happiness is found in simple things:
    The Sabbath stillness of late afternoon,
    A cottage silver thatched beneath the moon,
    A supper table blessed by evening grace,
    A sweet benediction of rain across my face,
    Across the painted desert of the sky
    One lone bird's flight,
    A garden where white lilies bloom at night.
    I often wonder who has set my task
    Of learning where true joy is found at last--
    Perhaps It's God.*."
