  EMMA JENSEN RASMUSSEN Emma Jensen Rasmussen was born in Brigham City April 25, 1859 to Gertrude Marie Pedersen and Mads C. Jensen. Her father also had two other wives. Emma spent her girlhood days in Brigham City, attending school a few months each year when circumstances permitted her to do so. Her father started the Gristmill in Brigham City. The following is her own story: I remember going out with my sisters to glean wheat, which we later threshed and sold. With this money, we bought the first set of knives and forks my mother owned. How thrilled and happy we were to have them to eat with. When I was thirteen, my parents moved to Mantua, four miles east of Brigham City in the canyon. Here the Indians were treacherous, making it unsafe at times to go to Brigham to see my father. I ran all the way down the canyon, expecting every minute to see some skulking Indians swoop down on me from behind the sage brush. In those days we were not so fussy about jobs. I would go out washing, help milk cows, do house work or any other work I could find to help earn my clothes, which were always homemade, and our shoes. We usually went barefoot. I was married to Hans Rasmussen on November 5, 1876 by President Lorenzo Snow in Brigham City. My wedding presents consisted of a rolling pin, a potato masher, and two yards of factory cloth-much different than you see now days. Six months later we moved to Mink Creek, Idaho, where we took up a homestead. To build our first house, I went along with my husband to the canyon for logs. This one room log house had a dirt roof, dirt floor, and no doors or windows, except just something hung over the openings. Bears were frequent visitors in the neighborhood. One night Old Bruin came walking around the house, but evidently didn’t have the courage to come in. The dirt floor was fine as long as it didn’t rain, but when it did all the pans and buckets available were needed to catch the muddy water, and then sometimes the bedding got more than its share. In the winter time, we really had snow. It was necessary to put up sticks in order to know where the roads were. Then when the snow storm was over, everyone turned out to help clear the roads, and then a visiting we would go. We had grand times visiting folks and going to dances and socials. We took the babies with us and made beds on the benches for them to sleep on while we enjoyed ourselves. How we did enjoy the heal and toe polka, waltzes, quadrilles, and many others. Now days they just walk around. Another dance of those early days was where the gentleman had two partners-we jokingly called it the ‘polygamy dance.’ We made our honeymoon trip in February, about two years after our marriage, to the Endowment House in Salt Lake City. Another couple went with us. With one span of horses and a yoke of oxen hitched to a wagon, we started on our journey. Everything went well until the return trip when we decided to take a short cut, and go up through ‘Worm Creek.’ We thought the snow was frozen hard enough for us to stay on top, but to our dismay, we went through the crust. It was necessary to unload and proceed with only the bolsters for seats, which weren’t exactly comfortable as we went up and down those hills. Next day our husbands returned to get the balance of our outfit. We were surely glad to get back to our little dirt-roofed house. I am the mother of twelve children. My husband was called to go on a mission for the LDS Church to Denmark in 1902. It was while he was away that diphtheria entered our home. My children were very ill, and people were afraid to come and help me care for them. Weakened by the disease, my youngest son contracted pneumonia and died, but through it all, the Lord gave me strength to carry on. I also had another child die. I worked in the Church, serving as Primary president for 8 years and as a worker in the Relief Society for 55 years. Her husband died in 1929. Emma was a widow for 21 years before her passing November 27, 1950. She would have been ninety years old her next birthday. During her later years she kept her house spic and span. She was a very gracious hostess to her many friends and relatives who loved to visit her. She went places and enjoyed it. She lived a rich and full life--rich with the many things that money cannot buy. She was important to settling the Mink Creek area at the time, from which came an abundance of posterity who were solid in the church and hard-working people.
