Notater - Christiane Johanna Hansen Stark (1881-1964)Contributed By: BadeRachelMichele1 · 21 oktober 2014 · CHRISTIANE JOHANNA HANSEN STARK (1881-1964) History of my Mother by Mary Ann Stark Woodward My mother, Christiane Johanna Hansen Stark, was born October 13, 1881 at Vissenbjerg, Denmark. Her mother’s name was Maren Rasmussen and her father’s name was Andrus Hansen. Mother’s parents were early converts to the church and being devout would walk with their children about five miles to attend church, and would stay in church most of the day. Mother often spoke of the missionaries and how they would look forward to meetings with them. Mother often told me how the children at school would point them out and make fun of them because they were Mormons. When she was old enough to work in a factory, mother related that she was put to work in a brick factory at nine years of age, and was charged with separating the bricks to keep them from sticking. She went to school every other day alternating with her work at the brick factory. Although her childhood was filled with hard work, I remember her telling of the fun she and her sister and friends had going hazel-nut picking. One time, Mother recalled that she was carrying her younger sister, Emma, on her back so she could keep up with the others. They all started to run and Mother did also even though her younger sister was on her back. Consequently, Mother fell and broke her arm at the elbow. My Mother’s mother had some friends, a family by the name of Carl Grotegut, who had come to Utah years before with their families and had settled at Spanish Fork, Utah. These wonderful friends of my grandmother had encouraged my grandmother to send her children to Spanish Fork, Utah to make their home with them. In response to this generous offer, mother’s oldest sister, Anne, was first sent to live with this family. Mother’s turn soon came to go to Zion to live with this Carl Grotegut family. I would like to explain why my mother’s parents didn’t come to Utah with their children and why they sent one of their children at a time to Utah. The explanation given was that my mother’s father was twenty years older than mother’s mother and he was unable to travel because both of his legs were crippled as the result of a mad bull attacking him and goring him severely. Consequently, grandmother had to earn most of the living for her family in addition to enough to send them to America. She knew there was no other way but to send them one at a time with missionaries. She had so much faith in the Gospel that no sacrifice was to great, hence, she parted with her children one at a time to afford them the opportunity of coming to Zion and having the advantages of the Gospel and a free land to live in. Mother left Denmark on August 10, 1893 and arrived in Utah on September 5, 1893. She lived with her older sister, Anne, at their parents friend’s home, Carl Grotegut at Spanish fork, Utah. She was only twelve years of age when she left Denmark. Mother said she worked very hard and was hired out to helpwith house-work, herding cows or working in the fields.Sometimes she received fifty cents a week and stated thatthe people she worked for were very kind and good to her.During these tender young years of mother’s life, away fromher mother and father, she often said that it seemed thatour Heavenly Father watches over his children and looksout for them when they put their trust and faith in him. A short time after mother had arrived from Denmark to live at the Carl Grotegut home, she moved to the home of Mrs. Ann Sophia Stark, a widow who had just lost her lovely fifteen year old daughter from typhoid fever. Mrs. Stark took mother right to her heart and was very good to her. Mrs. Stark and her three sons, Moroni, Alma, and Nephi, raised some very fine horses on their farm. Mother enjnjoyed riding a great deal and could handle horses very well. They had some of the finest buggy and riding horses in the country as well as fine milk cows. Mother married one of Mrs. Stark’s sons, Alma Pedersen Stark, when she was sixteen years old. They worked very hard on the farm and mother frequently mentioned that she enjoyed hard work. She was one of the hardest working women I’ve ever known and was thankful for the wonderful health she enjoyed that enabled her to carry out her arduous tasks. Kindness and patience were also qualities of mother’s character. She went without nice clothes in order to save money so her children could dress well. She also saved money for our needs by raising and selling fresh vegetables and fruits. I remember going with her early in the spring and summer mornings to water her gardens. Her strawberries were always the largest and earliest on the market. I remember taking many buggy loads of these beautiful, fresh strawberries and vegetables to the Spanish Fork Co-op and selling them. Fine geese and ducks were also raised by mother. People would ask her to save them a goose for Thanksgiving or Christmas and she usually received one dollar apiece for them. We, as a family, surely did enjoy these ducks and geese on holidays. Mother worked very hard on the farm. She milked cows sometimes morning and night, and fed the poultry and cattle. She also helped harvest the crops and worked from sun up to sun down and often way into the night. &nbsbsp;Very tasty butter was also made by mother and she sold it to the stores along with eggs and farm produce. Being an excellent seamstress, mother often designed clothes for herself and her small daughters and we were very proud of these beautiful clothes. Mother was an excellent cook and always had pies and cake on hand to serve to her children and grandchildren. Although mother did not have much schooling and didn’t have the privilege of going to school in Utah because of having to work, she never the less, was a well educated and intelligent woman. She educated herself by reading the school books we children brought home. We would often write and spell together. Mother could speak the English language very well and al the Danish language. Mother was a wonderful person to make beautiful fancy work of all kinds and all of her children and grandchildren have some of her lovely embroidery work and crochet pieces. It made her very happy to give gifts to them. I enjoyed hearing mother sing our Latter Day Saint hymns, as she had a beautiful voice and was always singing and happy. Ten children were born to mother and father and they raised seven of them to adulthood. These children all have families of their own now. Mother knew the sorrow of burying three of her young babies. In those days mid wives delivered the babies and mother had mid wives for all of her deliveries except the last two which were attended to by a doctor. She never entered the hospital for a confinement. Mother had a firm testimony of the Gospel and enjoyed attending church. She loved her Relief Society work and was a Relief Society teacher for more than 25 years. She loved to go to the Temple and did a lot of temple work when her health would permit it. Mother urged all of her children to go to church and was always happy when they were active in the church. Mother passed away on April 3, 1964 at the age of 72 years.
