Biography
Valborg Olsen was born in 1835 in Norway. Around 1863 Valborg was hired by widow Serine Staalsen to assist with household tasks and help with the children. Valborg and Serine immigrated to the United States together in 1863. They arrived in New York City in May 1863, and then travelled to Iowa to prepare to journey to Utah. While travelling across the plains to Utah, the company’s oxen suddenly formed a stampede. Valborg was caught in the stampede and died a few hours later on July 28, 1863. A few years later, Serine asked her second husband to be sealed to Valborg posthumously and he accepted.
