Marna (Mary) Anderson Peterson was born Oct 25, 1806 at Vinteriet, Blentarp Malmohus, Sweden. She has one brother Anders, who died as a child, and seven sisters, namely: Elna, Kierstina, Hanna, Karna, Ingeborg, Elsa, and Anna. She married Anders Peterson on June 5, 1835 in Tryde, Kristianstad, Sweden. They are the parents of 6 children. Ander's vocation was that of a farmer or gardener.
The Peterson family became early converts to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and belonged to the Skonaback Branch, the first to be organized in Sweden. After their conversion their lives became changed. The "Spirit of Gathering" came upon them and they desired to go to America.
Marna's eldest daughter, Johannah, a beautiful young lady of twenty years became a martyr for her new religion. She was riding with a young man in a buggy. A crowd of boys threw stones and yelled, calling her names. The horse became frightened and lunged. Johanna was thrown from the buggy, her skirt caught in the wheel and she was dragged to her death.
The Peterson family, along with sons Magnus & wife Johanna Jappason, and son Andrew & wife Anna Maria Pherson, went to Copenhagen, Denmark to meet with other converts who were sailing to America. The family left in the emigrant company under the direction of Ola N. Liljenquist. Most of the family sailed on the ship "Athenia," except Magnus's family who sailed on the "Electric." After 51 days on the ocean they arrived in New York on June 7, 1862. Both companies left New York June 9 by train for Florence, Nebraska (also known as Winter Quarters). They arrived there safely on June 19. It took 71 days of long hard travel over the plains to reach Salt Lake City. The Company arrived Sept. 23, 1862. As a whole they enjoyed good health, but Andrew caught "Mountain Fever" and was very ill.
After their arrival in Utah and following Brigham Young's advice, the emigrants went to different settlements. Andrew & Anna chose to make their home in Lehi. The rest of the family went to Mt. Pleasant. They lived there a few years then later returned to Lehi.
The first home in Lehi where Anders and Marna settled was located on 2nd East and 5th North. Later when daughter Christina & husband Martin Miller came to Lehi, they moved into this same house. The parents had moved into a home across the street from Andrew, which Andrew provided for them. The home of Anders Peterson stood just east of the old Telephone Office on Main Street. It was a two room structure, built of adobe - the first adobe house erected in Lehi. It had a door and a window in each room in the front which faced the south. Some of the wood from this house is now preserved in the John Hutchings Museum.
Anders Peterson died as a result of injuries received from a fall from a wagon. He passed away September 20, 1875. After his death his wife, Marna made her home with her son John and family. She passed away on April 30, 1879. Both are buried in the Lehi Cemetery.
