Adapted from “History of Carl (Roseberg) Roseberry” by Edith Young Booth, granddaughter in Roseberry Book of Remembrance
Carl Nisson (Roseberg) Roseberry was born 22 August 1825 in Stura (Sterucha), Uppakra, Malmohus, Sweden. He had a good education for his day and was a ship carpenter. He was a small man weighing about 150 lbs., was five fee, six inches tall with light hair. He had good health and was very industrious.
He was married to Helena Jonsson Eriksson in Malmo, Sweden on April 7, 1849. To them were born eleven children.
Carl joined the Mormon Church in Sweden 7 December 1857, three years after his wife, Helena Ericksson Roseberry, had been baptized into the faith. Within a month, he was secretary of the branch, paid his tithes and offerings, and was faithful in all things.
With his wife and three children, Annie Marie, 3 yrs. old, and twins, Neils Joseph and Emma Caroline, about six months old, he immigrated to America in July of 1859.
When they decided to go to America, Helena stated, "we could not sell our property and had to leave it. Roseberry took the oldest child. I took my two babies and two men carried a sack with a cradle and all our things. When we got to the sea, Roseberry gave my sister's man all our property we had left. He gave eight dollars which was all he had to give Roseberry for it."
They were eight days crossing the English Channel from Denmark where normally it would take but three to make the journey. They arrived in Liverpool at 10 pm and had to board the ship "William Tapscott" before daylight for the five week voyage to America. They left Sweden with only the clothes they had on and expected to purchase more in England but could not as the ship was waiting. They arrived in NYC on May 13, 1859.
They traveled by railroad and steamboat to Florence (Winter Quarters), Nebraska. They expected to stay at Winter Quarters for a while, but Brigham Young counseled the saints to come to Utah. So they and their few belongings started across the plains of 1200 miles with the Eighth Handcart Company.
The company nearly starved due to mismanagement of supplies. After Carl's wife, Helena, broke her hip in an accident, Carl continued on, pulling his family in their cart on to the Salt Lake Valley. They arrived in Salt Lake September 2, 1859.
Two months later, the family left Salt Lake for Sanpete County, stopping in Provo long enough for Carl to do some work for the support of his family. Times were hard and they had to eat sparingly so as to save wheat for planting.
Carl Roseberry was a hard working man but some of those he worked for were not honest and cheated him out of what he rightfully earned. Bread was scarce as all the flour he could get a day was three pounds and rest of his pay was in lumber. Helena had to pick greasewood twice a day and cook it for their meals. During these hard time, another set of twins and a set of triplets were born to them. The family ws in a very poor condition financially, scarcely any clothing or provisions and they really were destitute for the necessities of life. Several people offered to adopt the triplets--one or all of them--but neither of the parents would consider giving up any of their precious children.
Toward the end of the summer of 1867, the family moved to Santaquin (south of Provo) owing to the fact the Indians were on the warpath and also because of the grasshoppers destroying their crops. When they had been there about a year, Carl decided to go to work for the railroad which was being built through Weber Canyon north of Salt Lake City.
While he was inspecting a blast, a large boulder fell on him. He lived nine days. When his wife, Helena, was notified of his death, she requested he be brought home for burial. The bishop informed her it would be too expensive. She said she would find the means to pay for it. The bishop informed the railroad they were to bury Carl in the nearest town. (Kaysville, Davis County, Utah) He was interred November 15, 1868. His wife and seven surviving children were left to mourn his passing, never seeing his remains.
Carl Roseberry was known far and wide for his integrity, his clear vision, his neatness of appearance, and his willingness to work. He had the ability to get along with people and was foreman at the time of his death. He never undertook a job he couldn't finish and finish well. He was a kind and loving father but also a good disciplinarian. He meant what he said and his children loved and respected him for it. His descendants can be justly proud of such an ancestor.
