| In 1863 James Poulsen and his first wife, Kerstine, and their three children came to America on a German registered ship, the Athena. The voyage from Hamburg to New York was most unpleasant. The captain was hostile and harsh in his treatment of the Latter-day-Saints. During the 47-day passage, thirty-eight people died and many others became ill. James' then future second wife, Maren Kirstina Arff, was also on this voyage and she helped nurse the Poulsen children and their mother when they became ill. Sadly they never recovered and James had to bury his family at sea. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
