Pehrsson Renstrom. Both families are well known in Huntsville and Caroline's father, Soren Lind Petersen is recognized as one of its first settlers. When I returned to Huntsville again for the annual Fourth of July parade and celebration, some Renstrom descendants still living there told me about a series of articles being printed on the Renstrom family in the local newspaper The Ogden Valley News. I was so excited that I began a subscription to this paper and am currently trying to locate the articles that I missed.Soren Lind Petersen was one of the early settlers of Huntsville Utah. In the Huntsville Town History posted on the Huntsville website it mentions Soren L. with the following statement:
"Soren L. Peterson and Peter C. Geertsen, immigrants from Denmark in 1864, also served as missionaries there and encouraged many Danish converts to settle in Huntsville."
He arrived in Huntsville only four years after the original settlement was established in 1860 according to the History of Huntsville. In the Ogden Standard dated July 17th 1924, the program for the upcoming Pioneer Day celebration was announced. "Will Honor Old Settlers...Flowers will be presented by the Daughters of the Pioneers to the early residents whose names and the dates of their arrival follow...Soren P. Petersen, 1862..." In this account it was printed that he arrived in Huntsville in 1862 (but it also has his middle initial as P). In his obituary printed in the Ogden Standard on November 26th 1901,
we learn that "He was the first Scandinavian settler in the valley and had lived in Huntsville since 1863." I will need to do further research to determine the exact year of his arrival, but he is recognized locally as one of the founders of Huntsville. The Huntsville church records (FHL US/CAN Film 25997) state that he was baptised April 28, 1859 by C. F. Frandsen. He was repabtised and confirmed in December of 1864, a common practice when a distant member joined with the saints in Utah. His first child, Caroline Petersen, was born in July of 1864 in Huntsville, Utah. I have yet to obtain a photo of Soren L. Petersen (sometimes found in records as Peterson), but I do have one or two of some of his children. I have written to the Huntsville Historic Library in hopes of obtaining more information and records. Their web page says they have several biographies and obituaries among other records.
Andrew Pehrsson Renstrom is an immigrant from Sweden. The Huntsville Church Records and his obituary tell us that he was baptised in Sweden on Nov 14th 1872 by C. J. Renstrom and his obituary says he came to Huntsville in 1873. His father had died before the family's immigration and baptisms in 1870. The church records also show that his mother Katarina or Catherine Christine was baptised May 4th 1872 by J. Lundquist. It would appear that she was the first to join the church and then her children. Katarina was also rebaptised Aug 1873 so I presume this is near the time that they reached Huntsville. From church, census and cemetery records, I know that Katarina, Carolina, Catherine Charlotte, Andrew and Eric August all came to Huntsville. I do not know if all of the siblings of Andrew immigrated to Utah or the United States and I do not know how many
took the Renstrom surname. At least one daughter, Carolina who never married, is buried in Huntsville under the name of Ericksson. She continued with the patronymics taking her last name from her father Eric Pehrsson. Andrew took Pehrsson Renstrom and in the Huntsville Church records we find the youngest brother written as Eric August P. (Pehrsson?) Renstrom. His sister Catherine who married Soren P. Petersen is listed in the church records as Charlotte R (likely Renstrom as her name was Catherine Charlotte). Another interesting question I have is why is the mother Katarina buried as an Erickson? If she took her husband's name she should have been a Pehrsson. Her maiden name should have been Anderson/Andersdaughter as her father is Anders Ersson. The church records give her father's name as Anders Erickson so she could have gone back to her "maiden" name when her father died if she chose to end the patronymics in that generation. I would like to know the stories of all the children of Eric Pehrsson and Katarina 
Erickson. Where did they go (Sweden, Utah, elsewhere in the US?), what names did they take (Erickson, Pehrsson or Renstrom?). These multiple surnames make this work a little more confusing. A family group sheet I have of this family lists all of the children as Ericksson except for Andrew. On NewFamilySearch I found one record for a birth date for Andrew as an Ericksson. The record is from Sweden and it is a little off from the birth date we know, so I think it may be a christening date. I have contacted the individual who provided the record, but I have had no response so far. Andrew very well could be in Swedish records as an Ericksson and I would love to see some of these. The rumor, and I think it is a probable one, is that the Family took the Renstrom name after their baptism by the missionary C. J. Renstrom. These two families met in Huntsville and joined with the marriage of Caroline Petersen to Andrew Pehrsson Renstrom on 27 June 1888. This article about their wedding reception was printed in the Ogden Standard on July 1, 1888. "...They were bound for the residence of Soren Peterson, and the occasion was the marriage of his oldest 
daughter, Miss Caroline Petersen, to Mr. A. P. Renstrom. The marriage ceremony had been performed at Logan and upon their return Mr. Peterson gave the young couple a reception...With the many friends of Mr. and Mrs. Renstrom, The Standard wishes them all the happiness that can come from the holy alliance which they have made."
daughter, Miss Caroline Petersen, to Mr. A. P. Renstrom. The marriage ceremony had been performed at Logan and upon their return Mr. Peterson gave the young couple a reception...With the many friends of Mr. and Mrs. Renstrom, The Standard wishes them all the happiness that can come from the holy alliance which they have made."This couple had ten children together, three of which died as infants and are buried near them at the Huntsville Cemetery. Andrew was a farmer and stockraiser, he served three missions to Sweden, was the third bishop of Huntsville and ordained a seventy in 1883. His wife died much earlier than he did and I did not realize until I started putting this information together that not only did she die during the time he was bishop, but they also an infant baby. I have the baptism, birth, and death list for the year 1907 in Huntsville. A. P. Renstrom compiled them himself and on the birth sheet we see the joy of writing in the name of his newest child and only a few months later writing in the name of his wife under the deaths for that year. How did he go on alone, with an infant and no wife to help him and being the bishop. He was about 50 when his wife died and he lived another 25 years without her. I know there were some difficult emotions and feelings on the Petersen side regarding polygamy. Soren did practice polygamy as did many members of the church during this time. I have found a few news articles with court cases the US vs. Soren L. Petersen for unlawful cohabitation. His children and wives went through difficulties because 
of this. I have been able to collect a few news articles on the death of Andrew P. Renstrom, but it was quite a treasure to find this newly printed article in The Odgen Valley News July 1, 2009 that gives a first hand account of his funeral from his daughter Miriam. "...Reminiscing about him later, I thought my father was born, lived, and died in the storms of winter. My mother was born, lived, and died in the sunshine of summer. They were difficult years for him and for us, but I am happy he traveled it alone and did not marry and have sealed to him another wife." I found this very interesting and even more amazing that he never remarried considering he was widowed with an infant child to raise. What a struggle he had in life among the blessings. "He spent his days reading and visiting old people and friends in town. On one of these visits, he must have fallen through or off an old bridge for he came limping home covered with dirt, scratches and some blood. Arnold put him to bed. He was rational but weak. After a few days, he grew weaker and on a Sunday morning, he seemed partly unconscious and Arnold in some alarm, said to him, 'Dad, I think you are dying.' He opened his eyes and answered, 'I've waited so long.' Those were his last words."

funeral for Andrew. His daughter also talks about the ceremony in the article above. I have also included his death certificate as well as a timeline. This timeline puts a few major events in his life in perspective with what was going on in the world at the time. His life events are in red so you can easily find them and the others are in black. On the website that helped me put it together, each event is color coded according to its historic category. You can print one up on anyone you want on their site free of charge. I look forward to receiving more of these articles from The Ogden Valley News on the Renstroms and hope to share them with you as they come.
