". . . The season's first emigrating company of Latter-day Saints from Scandinavia sailed from Copenhagen, May 24, 1888, with the steamship 'Milo,' under the leadership of Elder Peter C. Geertsen. The company numbered 102 souls, Danish and Swedish Saints. Six elders from Zion, who had labored faithfully and successfully in the Scandinavian Mission, returned to their homes with this company, namely: Peter C. Geertsen
(who had labored as a writer for 'Skandinaviens Stjerne'), Jens Hansen, Pehr Hakanson, Svante J. Koeven and Charles R. Dorius.
After a pleasant voyage the emigrants arrived at the harbor of Hull, England, on the 27th in the afternoon. They landed the following morning (May 28th) and proceeded by rail to Liverpool, where they, an hour after their arrival, were joined by a small company of emigrating Saints from Norway. The Norwegian contingent of the company (24 souls) sailed from Christiania, Norway, May 25, 1888, in charge of Louis J. Holther, who returned from a mission to Scandinavia. The little company had a safe passage across the North Sea to England.
Together with the other emigrants and returning elders from the British Mission, the Scandinavians went on board the steamship 'Wisconsin,' sailed from Liverpool, June
2nd, and, after a safe voyage, arrived in New York, June 13th. From New York the westward journey was continued and part of the company arrived in Salt Lake City, June 19th.
One death occured on the voyage, that of an infant daughter of a Swedish lady named Anderson. From New York the company proceeded by coast steamer to Norfolk, Virginia , on the 8th, and arrived in Salt Lake City, August 15th, having traveled by rail from Norfolk, Virginia. . . . "
