Olsen and Torkel Evan Torkelsen, who had performed faithful missionary labors in Scandinavia. The little company traveled by steamship to Leith, Scotland, thence by rail to Glasgow, and crossed the Atlantic in the ship “City of Rome” together with Elders and emigrating Saints from England, Elder Wahlquist being in charge of the company to Utah.” [HSM, 337]

Olsen, Peter Hansen, Niels Monsen, Terkel E. Torkelsen, Thomas Gledhill and Samuel N. Cook. (Orig. Doc.)” [BMMH, 1894]. “Among the British Saints, over whom Elder Samuel N.
