So shall it be with my father: he shall be called a prince over his posterity, holding the keys of the patriarchal priesthood over the kingdom of God on earth, even the Church of the Latter Day Saints, and he shall sit in the general assembly of patriarchs, even in council with the Ancient of Days when he shall sit and all the patriarchs with him and shall enjoy his right and authority under the direction of the Ancient of Days. |

Notes - Her children were baptized in Valby Parish in the 1850's, but there was no church in Valby until 1891. Likely they were baptized in Hvidorve Kirke. In the late 17th century, that church extended with a so called Valby Nave (Valbyskibet) for the farmers of Valby who no longer were welcome in the Vor Frue Kirke in Copenhagen.
Rebecca Christiana Friis was born in Valbe near Copenhagen, Denmark on July 11, 1818. She was the daughter of Casper Gottlob Friis and Rosine Kristina Konig, both natives of Denmark. She had four sisters and one brother.
Her father owned a large estate in Denmark and was one of the nobility. He had a young Swedish man, Johannes Svenssen, working for him as a gardener. He and Rebecca fell in love and were married. Of course this was contrary to the wishes of the parents of Rebecca and they disowned her.
The young couple lived in Denmark and struggled for a livelihood. To them was born two children, a girl Emma Elisa and a boy, Frithiof Emmanuel. Later, they met the Mormon missionaries. Johannes died February 6, 1853 in Fredriksborg, Denmark. She joined the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on June 9, 1853 and was confirmed June 12, 1853. She made plans to go to Utah with her two little children. While crossing the ocean her baby boy died. She crossed the plains walking in C.J. Larsen’s Company and with her daughter, Emma, arrived in Utah in 1854.
She became acquainted with Jens Peter Andersen and they were married in Salt Lake City on February 23, 1855. While still in Salt Lake City their first child, James Peter, was born on November 28, 1855. At that time they suffered much for want of food as the grasshoppers had taken their crops.
In 1856 they moved to Ephraim, Utah. There four other children were born, Mary, October 1, 1857, Joseph Emmanuel, November 11, 1859, Jensina Cathrina, August 11, 1861, and Andrew Christian, October 16, 1863. Rebecca learned to do many things common to frontier life, such as making soap and candles, spinning and dyeing yarn for clothing. She did the sewing for her family and other fine needlework.
In 1863 they moved to Glenwood, Sevier Co., Utah. Andrew Christian died while living there. They resided in Glenwood but a short time as the Indians drove them out. They returned to Ephraim where they resided through the remaining part of their lives.
Rebecca endured many hardships during her life, but at no time did she ever complain. She was a lady, kind loving wife and mother, and she lived up to ideals of right, and died as she had lived, a true and faithful Latter-day Saint on November 24, 1866. She left three small children, James Peter, Mary and Joseph Emmanuel. Two younger had previously died.
- Her children were baptized in Valby Parish in the 1850's, but there was no church in Valby until 1891. Likely they were baptized in Hvidorve Kirke. In the late 17th century, that church extended with a so called Valby Nave (Valbyskibet) for the farmers of Valby who no longer were welcome in the Vor Frue Kirke in Copenhagen.
