was a native of Sanda, Gothland, Sweden; embraced the Gospel in May, 1862;
emigrated to Utah in 1863, in Capt. John Young's train. He leaves a wife
and a large family of children to mourn his loss. He was loved and respected
by all who knew him. He was the first to receive the Gospel and to gather
with the Saints from that region of his native country. He died as he lived,
a firm and true Latter-day Saint; ever ready and willing to lend a helping
hand to the cause of the Kingdom of God.--Com.
