JOHAN ERICK and CHRISTINA PETERSON From Sweden Our ancestors, Johan Erick and Christina Peterson, came from the Svealand region of Sweden. They were born at Lindesberg, Orebro, Sweden. John Erick was born the 13 March 1829. And Christina was born the 10 March 1820. They were married, 13 November 1853 and built themselves a steep roofed house. They lived on a rocky five acre farm on which they grew animals. They grew their own timber for fuel. When they cut down one tree another was planted to take its place. Johan Erick also worked in a nearby smelter where iron ore was melted into pure iron bars. Charcoal was used as fuel in this smelter as there is no coal in Sweden. Sometimes at the close of work, John Erick and a neighbor who also worked at the smelter, would put a couple of big clinkers left after the iron was melted on a long rod, this they carried home. Those clinkers were so hot even after being carried home that they could cook the evening meal and furnish all the heat needed in the house that night. They raised hay, cutting it by hand and drying it outside before they stored it in the barn section of the house. Johan Erick fished in the stream, they cured herring for winter. Christina did the spinning and weaving, the semi-annual wash and baked the bread. They made a rye bread called “Knackebrod.” They would make enough of this at a time to last a year. It was baked in large, round thin, flat cakes and hung on a pole across the ceiling to dry. They ate it dry and crisp as we eat crackers. They were a religious people, devout Lutheran, who read and studied the bible regularly. The Mormon Missionaries came to their home and taught them the gospel. They were converted but it was hard for them to join the church for all their friends and relatives were against it and when they were baptized 4 March 1875, by Bro. Lindquist, their friends turned against them. John Erick and Christina made their plans and sold all they had, receiving enough money to pay for their trip to Zion. They with their four children; Maria, Johanna, Anna Louisa and Andreas, sailed to Liverpool, England, and on the 22 June 1876, they sailed toward America on the ship “Idaho.” They had a rough voyage across the ocean, and then they took a train across the United States and arrived in Fairview, Utah, on 24 July 1876. They settled in Fairview at the request of Pres. Brigham Young. They had a chance to choose any place they wanted there and they chose the rocks and sagebrush of Spring Creek, which was most like the hills around their old home in Sweden. Johan Erick, farmer and carpenter, built their first home, a two room log house with an attic. Later they built a two story white adobe house. With the help of Andreas, he built several other houses in Fairview. The twelve years Johan Erick lived in Utah were busy ones; besides the houses he built a large barn, one hundred feet long and fifty feet wide. The lower half was made of cobblestones laid on mortar. These walls were about six feet high and the upper part was built of lumber. He also dug a well that was one hundred feet deep with a rock wall in the bottom that was fifteen feet high. This was the only well for blocks around and many people came here for water. Johan Erick also built a rock wall along the east side of the orchard. This wall was about three feet wide and four feet high. The farm was about two miles east of town and when Andreas got married, Johan Erick built a house here for him. Johan Erick and Christina were endowed, 15 July 1881, in the Endowment House at Salt Lake City. Andrea’s daughter wrote that John Erick had another wife, named Mary Ann. She said, “She was a widow and had five married children in North Dakota. She was a short plump, person. She had a two room house, two blocks east of the other house. She was very good to us and we children liked to go to her house and get cookies. About 1890, some of her children from North Dakota came for her and took her back with them and we never heard from her again.” This was what Euelalia, Andreas’s daughter wrote.
