Wife of Mads Peter Rasmussen. Obituaries of Mads, Isabelle, and Neal Rasmussen confirm that they traveled to Utah in 1857 with the handcart company. They also sailed to America in 1857.  FamilySearch lists her maiden name as "Rasmussen," but father's name is "Hans Hansen," so her maiden name is likely "Hansen." Her death date is confirmed by the Utah State History Cemeteries and Burials Database.
