Mina Ericksen






Wilhemina Morrison Ericksen
Wilhemina was born in Ephraim. Came to Mt. Pleasant with her parents, William and Margaret F.C. Morrison in 1859. She spent her early childhood living in the Mt. Pleasant Fort. When she was a teenager, she learned telegraphy and was a telegraph operator, working in the home of Bishop William S. Seely. She later married Henry Ericksen, who built Ericksen Meat and Grocery along with his brother, Alif. Wilhemina grew up following the example of her mother, Margaret F.C. Morrison, serving as a Relief Society President and then became the first Stake Relief Society President. One of her duties was to dress and prepare the bodies of the people of that time for burial.
