Emelia KIRSTINA RASMUSSEN NIELSEN
Emelia was born on the 10th of April, 1854, in Holmene, Denmark or Thikob, Predricksborg, Denmark. She was the fourth child of Rasmus Nielsen and Maren Hansen. Emelia was converted to the L.D.S. Church, and was baptized on the 27th of July, 1873. She came to the United States on the Perpetual Emigration Fund, leaving Denmark on the 23rd of June, 1876. She traveled to Liverpool, England.
On the 28th of June, 1876, she sailed on the ship Idaho, arriving in New York on the 10th of July, 1876. She continued by rail to Ogden, Utah, arriving on the 18th of July, 1876.
Emelia married Andrew A. Biorn in 1876. They received their endowments on the 30th of January 1879.
They lived in Logan, Utah, where their first two children were born. Josephine Emelia was born on the 22nd of November, 1877, and Andrew Adolph was born on the 24th of June, 1879. The little family then moved to Mink Creek, Idaho. Seven more children were born to them. Mother had a very hard life, as father took a second wife in 1881. When polygamy was stopped, my father left mother for the second wife, who lived in Mink Creek. Mother lived in Wooley Valley, where I was born. She would walk three miles, carrying me to Foxes Ranch, wash clothes all day and walk home at night. Sometimes there was only a slice of bread for each of us, and one for the dog.
Mother finally moved to Soda Springs, Idaho. I was about three years old. Mother cleaned and washed clothes wherever she could find work. The older boys helped out, too. The girls worked away fromhome. Mother was very religious, and always paid an honest tithing. In those days, they often paid in kind -- a dozen eggs, or chickens, or wheat. If someone bought a quart of milk, they received a quart and a half, --- and always thirteen eggs for a dozen. Mother was always willing to help anyone in need.
On the 30th of December, 1899, mother married Thomas George Hopkins. He had been very good to us. He helped out with hay for the cattle, when we first moved to Soda Springs. Mother was sick for eleven months, before she died, on the 23rd of February, 1916. It was my privilege to care for her, with the help of the rest of the family. We were all married, but * was closer to home than the rest.Mother's home was always open to her many friends, who came to visit. Three of mother's children celebrated their Golden Wedding's --
Joe and Agnes --13 October 1948
Paul and Mary -- 21 April 1956
Wood and Helen - 26 November 1963
