"FIFTY-NINTH COMPANY. -- Italy, 28 Scandinavian Saints. The first Saints who emigrated from the Scandinavian Mission to Utah numbered nine persons who sailed from Copenhagen, Denmark, January 31, 1852, and arrived in Liverpool, England, February 7, 1952, in the evening of the day on which the Ellen Maria cleared port. The names of these first nine, who proved to be the forerunners of tens of thousands of Saints who have subsequently wended their way from Denmark, Sweden and Norway to the valleys of the mountains, were Rasmus Petersen, wife and adopted child; Edward Schvaneveldt, wife and two children, and two young unmarried men, William Knudsen and Nils Olson. They traveled by stage from Copenhagen to Korsoer from whence they crossed 'Storebelt' by steamer to Nyborg, on the island of Fyen, and then continued the journey over that island by stage, and also, after crossing 'Lillebelt' on a ferry, through Sehleswig to Rendsborg, in Holstein, where they arrived in the evening of February 2nd. The following day they continued the journey by rail to Altona, where Elder George P. Dykes was on hand to receive them. After treating them to dinner, he took them on board the steamship John Bull, which on the morning of the 4th sailed for London, England, where it arrived on the 5th, in the evening. After a great deal of inquiry in London, the little company of foreigners at length succeeded in finding Elder Jacob Gates, who presided over the London Conference, and to whom they had a letter of introduction from Apostle Erastus Snow. Elder Gates rendered them all the aid necessary and assisted them to continue the journey by rail to Liverpool on the 7th. Arriving there they were informed that they were too late to sail on the Ellen Maria, as had been their intention, for that ship had just cleared port the same day. Consequently, the little company had to wait in Liverpool over a month to find an opportunity to sail in another vessel.
In the meantime Apostle Erastus Snow had finished his mission in Scandinavia, and left Copenhagen March 4, 1852, homeward bound, accompanied by nineteen other Danish Saints, who set out for Utah, and whose names were as follows: Ole U. C. Monster, (one of the first fifteen persons baptized in Denmark), wife and child; Christian Raven, wife and three children; Neils Jensen, wife and one child; Frederik Petersen, Ferdinand F. Hansen, Hans Hansen, Carl Jorgensen, Bertha S. Hansen, Augusta Dorius, Cecilia Jorgensen and Johanne Andersen. The company took steamer from Copenhagen to Kiel, in Holstein; thence traveled by rail to Altona; took steamer from Hamburg to Hull; and thence went by rail to Liverpool, where they arrived March 8th, and found the previously named nine persons in waiting for them. Apostle Snow, who had some important business to attend to in England before he could return home, placed Ole U. C. Monster in charge of the little company of Danish Saints, now numbering twenty-eight souls, and saw them safely on board the ship Italy on which they sailed from Liverpool March 11th, 1852, and arrived after a safe passage, at New Orleans May 10th. Proceeding up the Mississippi and Missouri Rivers, the Danish emigrants reached Kanesville (now Council Bluffs), in good health and spirits. There they were again met by their beloved Apostle Erastus Snow, who had reached the Bluffs by way of New York, and in the beginning of July 1852, attached to a large company of British Saints, under the leadership of Elder Eli B. Kelsey, the twenty-eight Danish emigrants commenced the journey across the plains with ox teams; they arrived in Salt Lake City October 16, 1852.
