Mette-Ole Niels-Elnora-Afton
Died 6 October 1879 in Denmark
Mette and Niels were the parents of 10 children born between 1833 and 1855: Jorgan, Jens, Anna Katrina, Anders, Lars, Niels, Pernelle, Ole, Christian, and Nickoline.
Mette was baptized a few days after Niels in 7 Nov 1869. Mette didn't want to go to Utah, however, and didn't leave Denmark in 1871 when Niels left with several of their children. Her son Ole remembered her crying and begging Niels not to take Ole to Utah. The people who knew Mette in Denmark remembered Niels as the "old boy" who walked out on his family.
Mette died in Denmark on 6 Oct 1879. Niels had her temple work done for her in the Logan Temple on 24 Mar 1886 and the family is sealed together.
