In the early part of July or August 1882, Martin sailed for England and America from his
home country of Denmark, using the money his father had sent.

While crossing the North Sea to England, on a very rough sea, Martin had almost
drowned in a large fish tank of live fish for food on board the ship. Passengers on board
the ship were allowed to catch fish from the fish tank on board. While trying to catch a
fish for his dinner, the motion of the ship as it hit a big wave, dumped Martin into the fish
tank. The sides of the tank were straight up and there was no help around to rescue him.
However, he was able to get out of the fish tank and did not drown.

He finally arrived in New York Harbor and was anxious to continue on to Utah by train,
to join his father. It was just l3 years after the completion of the transcontinental railroad.
He arrived in Ogden, Utah late in July 1882, or in September. He still had to travel
another 21 miles by train from Ogden to Brigham City, where he and his father were
again united. It was a very joyous reunion for them. His father met him and he spent his
first few nights at the home of the parents of Leo, Scott and Claud J. Hensen on the
corner of Main and 2nd South Street in Brigham.

Martin blev gift med Mary Jane Evans den 13 jul. 1898 i Logan Utah Temple, Logan, Cache, Utah, USA. Mary (datter af William Evans og Mary Jordan) blev født den 3 aug. 1868 i Brigham City, Box Elder, Utah, USA; døde den 1 feb. 1919 i Brigham City, Box Elder, Utah, USA; blev begravet den 3 feb. 1919 i Brigham City, Box Elder, Utah, USA.

Niels Andersen
Mormon missionaries from Utah were holding religious meetings in the neighborhood and there was considerable opposition to this new American religion among the local towns people. Niels and some of his young friends who had heard about these Mormons and some false rumors about them, decided to attend one of their meetings and cause a fuss so as to break up the meeting. They learned when and where the next meeting was to be held and decided to attend and carry out their plan.
They waited around outside the hall until the last minute and then entered the building and took seats at the very rear of the hall and close to the door. Being somewhat uneasy about their intentions they wanted to be able to get away quick if it became necessary.
It was customary in these meetings to kneel down by the seats when the prayers were said. When the opening prayer was said everyone in the hall got on their knees by their seat. Niels, feeling rather uneasy, only bent one knee, thinking that in this position he could get away faster if it became necessary. When the prayer was over and he went to arise to his feet to take his seat again, the knee that he had not knelt on snapped and went stiff, causing him to limp. The meeting progressed and Niels and his companions became so interested in the message of the missionaries that they forgot to break up the meeting.
From this time on Niels would slip away and attend all the Mormon meetings he could and his knee remained stiff and bothered him until on August 10, 1856 when he was baptized in the ocean. As he came up out of the water of baptism his knee snapped and it was no longer stiff.

Notater:

Between seventeen and eighteen years old he first heard the Gospel of the Church
of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints from a fellow worker who used to read scripture and
talk of the Mormon Church during the noon hour in the mines. This man had joined the
Church. As Brother Evans could not read himself, he memorized the passages of
scripture as the man read them.
It was customary among the young people to gather in crowds at the different
homes, for an evening of' amusement, singing being the chief recreation. Brother Evans
was a good singer and was always called upon to sing solos. In these gatherings he heard
more of the Gospel, and he would often quote the passages of scripture that he had
learned in the mines.
Through this singing he was invited to join the choir in that branch of the
Mormon Church, and by going to their meetings, he soon embraced the Gospel.
After joining the Church, 1 Jul 1861 he observed the word of wisdom, and stopped
drinking tea, which in Wales is a very important part of their food. When he refused his
tea, his mother was afraid he was not getting enough to eat. Very often she would prepare
something extra and walk to the mines to give it to him.
