Obituary:
At Fairview, Sanpete County, Utah Territory, August 28th, 1869, of consumption, Elen Maria Gudmundsen, wife of Elder S. Gudmundsen, who has just returned from a mission to Norway.
Sister Gudmundsen was born in Høland Parish, Norway, November 27th, 1838, and was baptized into the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Christiania, February 1857, and was married to Elder Gudmundsen May 16th, 1861, on board the ship Monarch of the Sea, while on their way to Zion. While Bros Gudmundsen was on his late mission, she gave birth to a child, but unfortunately caught cold, and finally took that fatal disease which terminated in her death. She was an affectionate wife, a wise mother and a firm believer in the Gospel of Jesus Christ and died, as she had lived, a true Latter-day Saint. Four small children are left with her husband to mourn her loss.
