Joseph Christensen

Child 9 of 12

1872–1887 · 14 years

Joseph was born at Moroni in October 1872 and died on 13 January 1887, fourteen years old — old enough to have been working the farm alongside his father and his brothers.

His brother Hyrum married Mary Ellen Draper on 6 February 1887, twenty-four days later. Whatever that February looked like in the family, it held both things at once.
