Brigham City Cemetery

Brigham City cemetery, Utah.  On our way to Bismarck, North Dakota we stopped by the Brigham City cemetary and thanks to Uncle Bruce and his cemetary map, were able to find the graves of Lars and Gedska Nelson.  It was fantastic to see the names of the people who have sacrificed so much so that we might have the gospel in our lives.  I cannot wait to meet them and say thank you.  You'll notice that Christian was not as enamored with the experience as I was.  On a side note, we've moved from Phoenix to Bismarck, ND and I have not had access to the internet for several months until this week.  I can't wait to get back into my hobby...of course Dave Barry said that there is a very fine line between a "hobby" and "mental illness" (25 things I have learned in 50 years, Dave Barry). 

Brigham City cemetery, Utah.  Further east in the cemetery is the plot for Charles Frederick Nelson and his wife Lena.  Charles was born in Denmark in 1852 (The headstone says 1853 but the records I have found show it is 1852) and came over with his father Laurs to America as a young boy about the age of 8 or 9 when they came over on the Monarch of the Sea in 1861.  I'm trying to get Andy to smile as he's so shy around cameras.  Christian has warmed up a little bit to the experience.
