Monson Line

Christian Hans Monson was born June 16, 1837 in Tune, Varteij, Norway he joined the LDS church and worked for several years to earn passage to America.  Built a handcart and came across the USA to Salt Lake City and eventually settled in Richmond, Utah and eventually Franklin, Idaho.  He has left this world with a great legacy of faith and I am very inspired and encouraged by his actions.

His parents were Hans Monsen (September 24, 1791 in Heen, Rakkestad, Ostfold, Norway) and Berthe Nielsen August 17, 1794 in Bodal, Rakkestad, Ostland, Norway)
