Lars Anderson was born 27 June 1851 at Sundbylille mark, Fredericksborg, Denmark. The third child of Anders Pedersen and Johanne Kirstine Hansen. In 1873 he married Nicoline Christine Dahlgaard in Copenhagen, Denmark. His sister-in-laws grandmother heard the gospel from the missionaries, then later he and his wife heard the gospel. They were baptized into The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on the 28th of August 1880, by Hans J. Christiansen. In those days when anyone joined the Mormon Church they were outcasts, their families would not own them. No one would do business with them, they could not come back to their jobs, so they wanted to come to America where they could be with people that believed as they did. They then moved to the town of Slagslunde where they were strangers, and soon had so much business that in less than a year they were able to sail for Zion. They left in June of 1881 for America on the ship "Wyoming" right after a Conference in Copenhagen, and arrived in Salt Lake City, Utah on the 15th of July the same year. (They sailed first to England on the SS "Hero" where they boarded the SS Wyoming. The following account was taken from "History of the Scandinavian Mission" by Andrew Jenson, p. 255. "A company of 609 emigrating Saints (the 35th company from Scandinavia), together with twelve returning missionaries, sailed from Copenhagen, June 20, 1881, by the Steamers Cato and Hero. The Cato had on board the Saints from the Gothenborg and Skaane conferences (147 souls), in charge of Elders Mons Nilsson and Fred Lundberg. The Hero (with Niels and his family aboard) carried 462 Saints from Stockholm, Copenhagen, Aarhus, Aalborg, and Christiania conferences, with, Peter A. Nielsen (leader of the company), and eight others returning missionaries. On Thursday, June 23rd, both steamers arrived safely at Hull, England, and later the same day the company was conveyed to Liverpool by railway, and the same evening the emigrants embarked on the steamer, Wyoming, which sailed on Saturday June 25th. Besides the Scandinavians, there were 146 British Saints, seven more returning missionaries and one visitor on board from the British Isles. Elder Samuel Roskelley was appointed leader of the company, while Elders Nielsen, Lawrence C. Mariager and Herman F.F. Thorup were retained as a presidency over the Scandinavian division. After a successful voyage, the Wyoming arrived safely in New York, July 7th, and the next day the emigrants resumed their journey westward and arrived in Ogden July 15th. Here the company parted, as about half of the emigrants went to Salt Lake City, while the rest either remained in Ogden, or went north. One child died on the cars while journeying through the States." Those in the party were Lars Andersen, Age 29, his wife Nicoline, age 40, their son Carl, age 7 or 9; Lars brother Niels Petersen (at this time he was still Niels Andersen.) who was 27 years old; his wife Johanne, 30 years old; their little boy Andrew Peter Petersen (Then Anders Peter Andersen), age 6 months; Lars mother Johanne Kirstine Hansen Pedersen, age 61, a widow, Lars sister Karen, age 36, and her husband Jacob Jensen, age 38, and their children...Martina age 9, Andrew age 7, Jens Peter age 4, Anders age 3, Johanna age 2, and Oluf age 6 months; and Niels's wife's sister Nicoline Amelia Larsen, age 19, a single girl. This company of saints were sponsored and assigned to Moroni, Utah.
Lars Anderson and his wife and son were amongst the emigrants that parted for Salt Lake city. A year later his son died on 4 June 1882 at the age of 11. He was there only child. Lars lived in Salt Lake city until he died on the 7th of February 1929. He is buried in the Salt Lake City Cemetery by his wife Nicoline.

According to Family search records he might have married a second wife name Emma Sophia Rassmusen on 15 March 1885 in Logan Utah. They had 4 children together Charles Peterson ( 1885-1887), Christina Peterson (1887-1887), Anna Christina Peterson ( 1888-1979) and Maud Emeline Anderson ( 1891- 1931). I have not be able to find any records of their marriage or any divorces either which is how I have come to this conclusion. Plus polygamy was common during that time. His brother Niels had 2 wives ( sisters).
