when fall came and work became slack, he resumed his labors as a missionary. A few years after Christina came to America, Alfred came also. Here they met again and were soon married. They moved to Peterson, Morgan County, Utah, where they reared a family of three sons and three daughters, two of whom died as small children. They lived in log cabins with mud roofs that soaked through when it rained, fought crickets and suffered through droughts. Through all the hardships of pioneer life, Christina never had any desire to return to Sweden. They remained faithful and true to the Gospel. In Sweden the women used to do a great deal of the farm work. In fact, my grandmother did all of the milking. She used to milk twelve to fifteen cows and took care of all the milk and cream and made it into butter for sale. In those days they had no cream separators and all the milk was set away in pans in a cool place so the cream would rise. It was then skimmed off and churned. I remember seeing row upon row of pans of milk in my grandmother's cellar. I have also watched her make their own candles by dipping strings attached to a stick into warm tallow. This was repeated until the candles became the desired size. These candles, together with the firelight, furnished all their light at night. Christina had three husbands. Through some law or regulation in her native Sweden, she was forced to marry Olof Olson, whom she did not love. He proved to be barren, so she obtained a divorce. After coming to Salt Lake City, she joined the church, met and married a man named Grenberg. He was no good, so she divorced him. There was one child from this marriage, a girl called Ellen. She was sealed to her mother and Alfred Bohman, the third husband. Shortly after the birth of their son, Alfred Fingal, the two children, Ellen and Alfred got smallpox, and both children nearly died. My grandmother was a very religious woman of much faith. Only her continued prayer kept them alive. They were very sick for a long time. Grandmother used to retire to the woodshed behind the house to pray. One day while praying, it was made known to her that if the girl lived, her mind would have been affected because of the fever. So she immediately released her and prayed she might go. After rising from her knees, she went to the house. She just reached the child's bedside to see her talking her last breath, so she passed peacefully away. Several times in the night, grandmother aroused her husband telling him to go to a neighbors and help them because they had sickness and death in the Morgan Pioneer History Binds Us Together family and needed help. In each case she said she had had a vision and it was made known to her. She was correct on every occasion. She suffered a great deal in later life from what we now know was cancer of the stomach. She died from this dreaded malady on April 12,1896. Alfred lived with his son Rudolph and his wife Nancy in his later years after Christina died. Because of his poor eyesight, a rope was tied from the house door to the door of the outhouse so he could find his way there and back. Sometimes as a joke, the kids would tie one end on someplace other than the outhouse door. This must have been a pain for him, but he accepted it in good humor. Alfred died on February 12,1918. Both Christina and Alfred are buried in the Peterson Cemetery. THE FOUR BOHMAN BROTHERS Four Bohman brothers came from Sweden to Utah in the 1860's. John William Bohman was born December 2, 1831, in Sweden. He married Maria Christina Soderstrom on November 23,1857, in Sweden. When they came to Utah, they settled in Monroe, Sevier County, Utah. They had seven children. John died on October 9, 1905, was buried in Monroe. Maria died February 22,1923, and was buried in Monroe. Alfred Bohman came to Peterson in 1863. He was a farmer by occupation. He married Christina Elizabeth Mattson on August 20,1864. They had five children. Christina died April 12, 1896. Alfred died February 12, 1918. They are both buried in the Peterson Cemetery. Jacob Edward Bohman lived in Peterson, Morgan County, Utah. He married Heda Lingren. They had one daughter. Adam Victor Bohman worked on the railroad. He lived in Echo, Summit County, Utah. He married an Indian girl. Her name was Anna Lucy (Stevenson) Adopted name Smith. They had three children. When his wife died, he moved to Peterson. She was buried in Echo, Utah. Later Jacob and Victor lived together in a small log house in the east part of Peterson. It was one of the first homes in Peterson. This home was acquired by the Daughters of Utah Pioneers and moved to Morgan. It is now on the Southeast corner of the old Stake Center in South Morgan on the west side of State Street. When Jacob and Victor died, they were buried in the Peterson Cemetery. 17
