• Iver initially traveled to the Salt Lake Valley in 1853 as indicated in church ordinance records.  He may have traveled with the 1853 Moses Daley Freight Train, but further research is needed to confirm the name of the company he traveled with.

  At the end of a mission, he traveled home as captain of the Iver N. Iversen Company in 1858 as indicated by Peter Gottfredson’s Autobiographical Sketch. He came on the ship, John Bright in 1858. We cannot find a ship he came on in 1853.
