Olof Thorum (photo on left) or Olive Theresia Annie, as she was later called in America, married William Marion Johnson Sr. (See-Wm M. Johnson and Olive Theresia Johnson history.) She was born Nov 6 1864 in the Westman Islands of Iceland and emigrated at age 10 to America with her stepfather Sigurdur Arnasson age 32, her widowed mother Vilborg Thordarsdottir ) age 43, her older sister Gudrum Sophia age 11, and two younger brothers Jon Peter age 9 and Vilhjamar W. age 6 in 1874. Her daughter Emma Morby recalls that Olive was a tiny woman only 5'1", easy to get along with and made friends easily. She was a good cook and baked bread-eight loaves at a time, a couple of times a week and buns with raisins. She liked to walk up the railroad track and go fishing, also liked to ride the train and go to school programs. She died in Coalville, Utah where she lived from 1900 to 5 Aug 1937. She was taking over strawberries to a neighbor, slipped and broke her hip. She had to have a hip to foot cast and was in the hospital in SLC in bed for a long time and that cut off circulation in her legs. After that she got around on crutches and on a chair with casters. She died of water around the heart at age 72.
There are some very interesting records Olive's mother Vilborg brought with her from Iceland. One is a little notebook containing her direct line genealogy going back to 800 AD in Iceland and also some minutes of early LDS Church meetings in Iceland. I have copies of these if any one is interested and I also have a PAF gedcom computer file of their ancestry back to 800 AD available. Every year in Spanish Fork, Utah there is an Icelandic festival held in June with programs, entertainment and speakers. See to learn more of the Icelandic heritage.
