    EMMA SOPHIA PETERSEN COX was of Danish blood. She came from Copenhagen, Denmark, where she was born. Her mother was a widow when she arrived in Manti, but she soon married again. She seemed to have small patience with the older children, which made life very hard for Emma. Emma married very young, glad to bear the honorable name of her husband. When he died, leaving her a widow with a family of 4 small children, she bravely bore every hardship and tried to make her little ones comfortable. Her children have grown to be honorable people, striving to be a credit to their father's name.

    Emma Peterson came with the Willy Handcart company as a child about 7 or 8 years old with her mother, Sophia Catrine Wilhelmine Klauen, and three siblings, youngest was just two.

    Emma Sophia Peterson Smith Cox....She was christened "Emma Sophia Petersen". Later her mother was sealed as well as the children to an Albert Smith, then she was married to Fredrick Walter Cox Sr.
