METTE JENSEN 6 FEBRUARY 1817 FRANKERUP, SORO, DENMARK	Sealed on 9 June 1872
	Left her four oldest children behind in Denmark
Genealogy	Migrated to the US in 1871 with her 2 youngest daughters
	Buried in Hyrum, Utah in 1874

Sylivia Marie Jensen and M. Stone, some descendants of Christian, write that after Christian and Mette joined the LDS Church, they wanted to come to Utah to be
sealed together.  However, Christian had consumption and died before they were able to leave Denmark.  Christian's last request before his death was for his wife
Mette to come to Utah to have them sealed together.  Mette left 6 months after Christian's death with their two unmarried daughters Dorthea and Hannah.

At that time in Denmark it would have been necessary for Mette to have the consent of a male member of the family before she could take Dorthea and Hannah to
America.  Her son first gave his permission, but shortly before they were to sail, he decided that he did not want her to leave.  The missionaries helped Mette and her
two daughters hide so he could not prevent them from leaving.

They sailed on the ship "Minnesota" to Liverpool, England, and then on to New York.  They came to Utah by rail since it was a few years after the railroad had been
completed.  They ended up in Hyrum, Utah, just outside of Logan.

In 1871 Mette was able to fulfill Christian's request to have them sealed together.  On 18 June 1871 Mette was sealed to Christian.  Niels Jensen (who would
become Dorthea's father-in-law in 1873) stood in as proxy.  On 23 June 1871, Niels and Mette were sealed together for time.

Mette had a hard time in Utah.  She did not like the black bread they had to eat.  Dorthea told her children about the difficulties of coming to a new land and that Mette suffered a lot.  Dorthea and Hannah cared for her until her death.  One morning she told her daughters that Christian had been there and told her that he would be back to get her the next Tuesday at a certain time.  She died the next Tuesday at the appointed time.
