History of Carl Frederick Wall and Katherine Larsdotter

The following history of the Wall Family is of interest to all members of our community because it tells not only Frederick and Katherine's life story, but also why they separated from the LDS faith and the history of some of our Main Street businesses and buildings.

Calling All Pritchetts.......Descendents of Samuel Napolean Bonapart Pritchett,

If all my Pritchett Cousins research their genealogy back to the 1600s you will find that James (Prichard) Pritchett married Elizabeth Durbin.  The Durbin family were among the colonists who settled the Baltimore Maryland area. William Durbin and his seven sons built a stone house and all their families lived there. It was a well built house and still stands today.  It is located on what is now the Wakefield Valley Golfclub in Westminster, Maryland.  The story of the home, its surroundings and the Durbin family is full of numerous legends and surprises.  As a descendant of the Durbins, we all could have inherited the very ground on which Baltimore Maryland  now sits.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:

A crinoline /krɪn.əl.ɪn/ is a stiffened or structured petticoat designed to hold out a woman's skirt, popular at various times since the mid-19th century. Originally, crinoline described a stiff fabric made of horsehair("crin") and cotton or linen which was used to make underskirts and as a dress lining.

By the 1850s the term crinoline was more usually applied to the fashionable silhouette provided by horsehair petticoats, and to the hoop skirts that replaced them in the mid-1850s. In form and function these hoop skirts were similar to the 16th- and 17th-centuryfarthingale and to 18th-century panniers, in that they too enabled skirts to spread even wider and more fully.

The steel-hooped cage crinoline, first patented in April 1856 by R.C. Milliet in Paris, and by their agent in Britain a few months later, became extremely popular. Steel cage crinolines were mass-produced in huge quantity, with factories across the Western world producing tens of thousands in a year. Alternative materials, such as whalebone, cane, gutta-percha and even inflatable caoutchouc (natural rubber) were all used for hoops, although steel was the most popular. At its widest point, the crinoline could reach a circumference of up to six yards, although by the late 1860s, crinolines were beginning to reduce in size. By the early 1870s, the smallercrinolette and the bustle had largely replaced the crinoline.

Crinolines were worn by women of every social standing and class across the Western world, from royalty to factory workers. This led to widespread media scrutiny and criticism, particularly in satirical magazines such as Punch. They were also hazardous if worn without due care. Thousands of women died in the mid-19th century as a result of their hooped skirts catching fire. Alongside fire, other hazards included the hoops being caught in machinery, carriage wheels, gusts of wind, or other obstacles.

The crinoline silhouette was revived several times in the 20th century, particularly in the late 1940s as a result of Christian Dior's "New Look" of 1947. The flounced nylon and net petticoats worn in the 1950s and 1960s to poof out skirts also became known as crinolines even when there were no hoops in their construction. In the mid-1980s Vivienne Westwood designed the mini-crini, a mini-length crinoline which was highly influential on 1980s fashion. Late 20th and early 21st century designers such as John Galliano and Alexander McQueenhave become famous for their updated crinoline designs. Since the 1980s and well into the 21st century the crinoline has remained a popular option for formal evening dresses, wedding dresses, and ball gowns.

History of Mads Christian and Mariane Jensen Gjettrup

Wandering the Cemetery on Memorial Day I ran onto these graves.  GJETTRUP

A name I wasn't familiar with.  And so I did some research and I found this wonderful  history.  

Enjoy

Prepared by Winona Hoyal



Mariane Jensen, my maternal grandmother, was born in Denmark on January 2, 1839. Mads Christian Gjettrup was born in Denmark on September 23, 1831. They were married on December 20, 1857. They had 12 children, 5 of them died as children. At least 3 died of what was then called "galloping consumption," now known as tuberculosis. All but 3 of the children were born in Denmark. They lost a child in 1864, a baby boy, an 8 year old in 1869, a 1 year old and a 10 year old in 1876, and their last boy dide soon after birth, 4 years after coming to America. Losing 5 children in all.



In the 1860's, missionaries from the church of Jesus Christ of latter-day saints came to their door in Denmark. Mariane knew the gospel was true long before Mads who wouldn'glisten to the message. She would read the Book of Mormon when grandpa was away at work. She had a false-bottom chair in which she'd hide the Book of Mormon when she knew he was coming, because she knew he would get angry if he caught her reading it. In 1864, one of their children died, and the missionaries were so good to them that grandpa was impressed and listened to their message. On November 20, 1864, they were baptized. In 1877 they came to the U.S.A. Mariane said it took a year to get ready to come to Zion. She sewed all their clothing which was a loan to help members come to Zion. It was under this plan that they came. My mother said that she remembered as a little girl tha last cowas that were sold to finish paying the Church for the passage.



They landed in Ogden Utah after weeks in "steerage," the bottom of the ship where the poor were put, with 4 children, .50 cents, and speaking no English. A man who had come from Sanpete County Utah with his produce, and had an empty wagon going back, took their .50 cents to take them to Sanpete. They must have known someone in Sanpete, a former missionary, or some person who had gone there earlier, but I do not kinow. Grandma was pregnant. Thine, (known as Tenie) was born in a dug-out in September, 3 months after they arrived. When the man who took them to Sanpete got there it was dark, and he left them at what he thought was a straw stack. In the morning it appeared to Grandpa to be a manure pile becase it was so full of manure, a distasteful thinkg to Grandpa who was quite fastidious when possible. If he'd had the money then, I'm sure that he would ha ve gone back to Denmark. Mother said that grandpa was very indignant.



Where they stayed the first few days, I do not know. I know that Carl who was 18, worked for a man who gave him a lot in Fairview, Sandpete County, Utah for his work. Here they made a dug-out where Thine was born. A dug-out is a hole dug in the ground with branches covering the top to keep out some of the cold and sun. Four years later, Mads Christian was born but did not live. and 3 years after that, my mother Mariane was born.



The first year they lived on milk from a tithing cow, carrots and a whole-wheat bread. Grandpa was a carpenter, and someone who owned an old house in bad disrepair offered them the house to live in if they would repair it. This grandpa did but as soon as it was fixed, the people did not want it back. After they had been here the number of prescribed years, they got a homestead. I think it was 160 acres, but i'm not sure. In signing the contract or deed, grandpa was cheated out of his water right to theland becasue he was unable to read English. All the water they had left was a well near the house they eventually bult, made out of rock from the fields. They raised a garden with the water from the spring, but did not know what to do with the rest of the land with no water. Grandpa had heard of ta new kind of wheat grown on dry land. He sent for some of the seed, and because he was the first in the Balley to grow that kind of wheat, it was called "Gjettrupwheat." At one time he was building a housae, whether it eas the rock house or not, I do not know. At any rate, he had bought shingles for his new house, but because of harvesting, had been unable to finish the roof. One man in the ward came to grandpa and said, "brother Gjettrup, you have shingles you are not using. I need shingles and the saw mill is out of them at present. Le me use yours, and when the saw mill gets some, I will returnthem." Mads consented. A few days later, the man came over with a papter to sign saying it was a contract for the shingles. When weeks went by and no shingles arrived, grandpa went to the man and asked him about them. The man said "What shingles?" Grandpa learned taht the paper he signed wa a statement that the man had paid for the shingles. These are a few things that happened to them to try their faith. Grandma adid that some people in the Church should be called "Latter-day Devils" instead of "Latter-day Saints." But she alwasys told her family that the Gospel was true, and taht even though men did wrong, the important things were the principles of the gospel, and not to worry about what men did. Later they sold their farm and moved to Mount Pleasant to the little house we visited last year.



They were called by the Stake President in January 1907 to receive their 2nd anointing. Probably ill health prevented their receiving it while he was alive, because it was done by proxy on July 1, 1908. He died January 31, 1908 fo cyctitis due to an enlarged prostrate. Grandma died April 11, 1914, the week after my brother Jim was born. Grandma had a tumor which interfered with her eating of solid food. The doctor had her on gruel, but she was so hungry for a piece of breda and cheese. Aunt Tenie who came every day to look after her while her mother was in bed. funally gave in to her pleadings for the bread and cheese. The food would not go up or down. I'm sure she enjoyed her last bit of bread and cheese. I remember as a small child how much whe like bread and cheese. When I went into her room to visit her she would make sandwiches of bread and cheese and cut them into very small squares to feed to me. Today, they probably would have operated on grandma and grandpa but they were sondidered too old in those days to risk and operation. I also remember coughing a great deal an spitting up blood. She uded to call me "tor mikel" becasue she'd give me magazines to play with, and didn't mind if I tore them. I called her "spit mikel." I'm sure this isn't the right way to say or spell the Danish words but that is how I remember them.
