Adapted from “History of Carl (Roseberg) Roseberry” by Edith Young Booth, granddaughter in Roseberry Book of Remembrance

Carl Nisson (Roseberg) Roseberry was born 22 August 1825 in Stura (Sterucha), Uppakra, Malmohus, Sweden. He had a good education for his day and was a ship carpenter. He was a small man weighing about 150 lbs., was five fee, six inches tall with light hair. He had good health and was very industrious.

He was married to Helena Jonsson Eriksson in Malmo, Sweden on April 7, 1849. To them were born eleven children.

Carl joined the Mormon Church in Sweden 7 December 1857, three years after his wife, Helena Ericksson Roseberry, had been baptized into the faith. Within a month, he was secretary of the branch, paid his tithes and offerings, and was faithful in all things.

With his wife and three children, Annie Marie, 3 yrs. old, and twins, Neils Joseph and Emma Caroline, about six months old, he immigrated to America in July of 1859.

When they decided to go to America, Helena stated, "we could not sell our property and had to leave it. Roseberry took the oldest child. I took my two babies and two men carried a sack with a cradle and all our things. When we got to the sea, Roseberry gave my sister's man all our property we had left. He gave eight dollars which was all he had to give Roseberry for it."

They were eight days crossing the English Channel from Denmark where normally it would take but three to make the journey. They arrived in Liverpool at 10 pm and had to board the ship "William Tapscott" before daylight for the five week voyage to America. They left Sweden with only the clothes they had on and expected to purchase more in England but could not as the ship was waiting. They arrived in NYC on May 13, 1859.

They traveled by railroad and steamboat to Florence (Winter Quarters), Nebraska. They expected to stay at Winter Quarters for a while, but Brigham Young counseled the saints to come to Utah. So they and their few belongings started across the plains of 1200 miles with the Eighth Handcart Company.

The company nearly starved due to mismanagement of supplies. After Carl's wife, Helena, broke her hip in an accident, Carl continued on, pulling his family in their cart on to the Salt Lake Valley. They arrived in Salt Lake September 2, 1859.

Two months later, the family left Salt Lake for Sanpete County, stopping in Provo long enough for Carl to do some work for the support of his family. Times were hard and they had to eat sparingly so as to save wheat for planting.

Carl Roseberry was a hard working man but some of those he worked for were not honest and cheated him out of what he rightfully earned. Bread was scarce as all the flour he could get a day was three pounds and rest of his pay was in lumber. Helena had to pick greasewood twice a day and cook it for their meals. During these hard time, another set of twins and a set of triplets were born to them. The family ws in a very poor condition financially, scarcely any clothing or provisions and they really were destitute for the necessities of life. Several people offered to adopt the triplets--one or all of them--but neither of the parents would consider giving up any of their precious children.

Toward the end of the summer of 1867, the family moved to Santaquin (south of Provo) owing to the fact the Indians were on the warpath and also because of the grasshoppers destroying their crops. When they had been there about a year, Carl decided to go to work for the railroad which was being built through Weber Canyon north of Salt Lake City.

While he was inspecting a blast, a large boulder fell on him. He lived nine days. When his wife, Helena, was notified of his death, she requested he be brought home for burial. The bishop informed her it would be too expensive. She said she would find the means to pay for it. The bishop informed the railroad they were to bury Carl in the nearest town. (Kaysville, Davis County, Utah) He was interred November 15, 1868. His wife and seven surviving children were left to mourn his passing, never seeing his remains.

Carl Roseberry was known far and wide for his integrity, his clear vision, his neatness of appearance, and his willingness to work. He had the ability to get along with people and was foreman at the time of his death. He never undertook a job he couldn't finish and finish well. He was a kind and loving father but also a good disciplinarian. He meant what he said and his children loved and respected him for it. His descendants can be justly proud of such an ancestor.

Carl blev gift med Helena Jonsson Jonsdotter Ericksson den 7 apr. 1849 i Malmo, Malmohus, Sweden. Helena blev født den 11 okt. 1822 i Hebe Scone, Malmohus, Sweden; blev døbt den 13 okt. 1822 i Hyby, Malmöhus, Sweden; døde den 18 dec. 1899 i Pima, Graham, Arizona, USA; blev begravet efter 18 dec. 1899 i Pima Cemetery, Pima, Graham, Arizona, USA.

adapted from Family Book of Remembrance originally written by Edith Young Booth, granddaughter of Helena Jonsson Ericksson--

Helena Ericksson Roseberry was the daughter of Hans Peter and Hanna Ericksson, she was born October 11, 1822 in Winnega, Hebe Shouse, Sweden.

As a child and young woman she had a number of injuries and near brushes with death. She felt that the Lord had preserved her life for a purpose. Before she was nine months old, she fell and cut a gash in her cheek with didn't heal. Her face and eyes became so infected that she nearly went blind. When she was seven years old, she was without sight for fourteen months. At twelve years of age, she was badly frighted and jumped out the window. Although is was from an upstairs room, she wasn't hurt. Two years later she was standing on some ice over very deep water. The ice began cracking all around her. She fell on one sheet and paddled herself to the bank. When she was twenty-two years old, she broke a vein in her breast and nearly died that time. During this illness, she dreamed she was in heaven where she saw many glorious things.

She was married to Carl Roseberry in Malmo, Sweden on April 7, 1849. To them were born eleven children.... Helena was never afraid of hard work. She helped build her first home.

It was in 1853 that she first heard of Mormonism. She heard Brother W. Winberry preaching about the Millenium. She became so interested in his remarks that she went to another meeting even though the police were there taking down the names of the people who were in attendance, so they could put them in jail. To Helena the missionaries looked just like angels. She wrote, "When I came home I knelt down to pray and behind me I saw a dark shadow shaming me for kneeling down, but I kept going to listen to the Mormons daily, then kneeling and praying... my faith increased every day. I thought I had to go and be baptized, but my husband and all my relatives were against me..."

Finally, she decided to be baptized in spite of her husband's objections. She went with President Barlow and others to the seaside at twelve o'clock at night. Her baptism was a most spiritual experience. In her own word, "... as soon as we stepped our feet into the water, we were surrounded with a circle of glory from heaven with sparks like fire...Brother Ludlow said he never saw a sign like that before. I can never tell you how happy I was. I felt like a new born babe when I put my dry clothes on. I kneeled down and thanked the Lord for his goodness to me!"

When her husband returned and found she had joined the Mormons, he was most upset. She suffered persecutions from him and both their families for four and a half years. Finally the Elders counseled Helena to leave her husband with the promise that she would return if he wanted her.

She made arrangements to go to Denmark, bidding farewell to her mother and neighbors. While waiting for repairs on the ship, she was overtaken by her husband who took her home, locked her in a room without a dress, and promised her she should never come out until she denied Mormonism. However, she escaped and was back at the ship at 3 o'clock next morning with her three year old daughter. Although her husband's friends called the police to detain her, when the ship's captain saw her papers were in order, he took her aboard.

She arrived safely in Denmark, a strange land, without a cent of money or a change of clothing and with a little girl to care for. It was a difficult time, but some people took her in. She then wrote her husband telling him where he could find her if he wanted her. He came to get her right away and stayed to attend a church meeting. He was much inspired by the words he heard there. He was baptized a short time after their return to Swede. Within a month he was secretary of the branch, paid his tithes and offerings and was faithful in all things.

When they decided to go to America, Helena stated, "we could not sell our property and had to leave it. Roseberry took the oldest child. I took my two babies and two men carried a sack with a cradle and all our things. When we got to the sea, Roseberry gave my sister's man all our property we had left. He gave eight dollars which was all he had to give Roseberry for it. My youngest sister could not say goodbye but said she would rather see me go to the grave than across the sea. My other sister followed me, and her and her daughter stood and wept over me until the ship was ready to go. I tried to hide my sorrow that they should not see me weep. I was not sorry to leave my native land, but mourned because I could not get my relative to believe the Gospel.

They were eight days crossing the English Channel from Denmark where normally it would take but three to make the journey. They arrived in Liverpool at 10 pm and had to board the ship "William Tapscott" before daylight for the five week voyage to America. They left Sweden with only the clothes they had on and expected to purchase more in England but could not as the ship was waiting. They arrived in NYC on May 13, 1859.

They traveled by railroad and steamboat to Florence (Winter Quarters), Nebraska. They expected to stay at Winter Quarters for a while, but Brigham Young counseled the saints to come to Utah. So they and their few belongings started across the plains of 1200 miles with the Eighth Handcart Company.

The company nearly starved due to mismanagement of supplies. "This required great faith for me to walk and pull a handcart and carry my babies some of the time. I was begging bread and there was a man who gave me the last he had for my little children. ...I had to walk and carry one of my babies and help to pull the cart for many weeks until my feet began to swell up so I had to ride some. ...One day they tipped the wagon over and broke my hip." Her husband, Carl, continued the trek and pulled his family on to the Salt Lake Valley.

There was little food that winter for the Roseberry family. Carl worked on a grist mill, but was given only three pound of flour/day and some lumber. Helena had to beg milk to eat with the bread. During this time she gave birth to another set of twins. When they ran out of bread, she collected grease wood for the family to cook and eat. She later gave birth to triplet girls when they had almost none of the necessities of life. She had no one to attend the birth except her husband. Someone donated a cow and they did live.

During these early years, they were often called on for donations for soldiers or other companies of saints. It was in the days of privation and sorrow she prayed for the Lord's strength.

In 1867, they moved to Santaquin. They lost a crop of wheat to the grasshoppers, and when Carl could get no work, he sought employment with the railroad although he had forebodings about it. He never saw his family again, but died in an accident.

The fatherless family suffered a great deal. Men who promised to assist with their crops and cattle failed in their duties. For seven years, Helena worked hard trying to take care of her family. After an unhappy experience with the United Order in Richfield, her son Joseph was called by President Young to go to Arizona in 1878.

They stopped briefly in sunset and spent one year in Snowflake preparing to go to the Gila Valley. To make this trip, she traveled on foot 200 miles driving her cattle before her. When they arrived in Smithville (Pima) along the Gila River, they found just eight families had preceded them.

Here she found peace and happiness. She had loved temple work and donated the first money ($5.00) toward the building of a temple in Arizona where she hoped she could work for the rest of her life. She also resided in the Mormon colonies in Mexico for a time. She loved Mexico because it seemed that the saints lived their religion more closely. When her health failed, she requested to return home to Pima. Helena died December 19, 1899 at her daughter Hannah Larsen's home in Pima, Arizona at the age of 77.

She wrote, "Pen and ink cannot tell all I have passed through, but by the help of god I have passed through fiery trials and expect to get my reward. I never wished myself back in my native land but hope to stand as a saviour to my father's house." She withstood great trials and tribulations for the sake of her posterity. She knew without any doubt that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Sants was truly the Church of Jesus Christ, embracing the true and everlasting Gospel, and she wanted her children and all her posterity to realize the joy promised the faithful. Great shall be her reward.
