  • She married Christian Rhody Nielsen in Utah.  Her given name name is "Dena" in the 1900 Utah census and on her death certificate.  It is "Stena" in her obituary.  Although the obituary confirms the year that "Stena" and her family crossed the plains, it incorrectly says they traveled with a handcart company.  Actually the family is on the original roster of the Samuel A. Woolley wagon company.
