He was reared on his father's farm until he was 21 years of age. He received fine religious training from his parents and on October 30, 1901 was married in the M'anti Temple to Nancy Ellen Hicks of Monroe. To this union seven sons :and two daughters were born, four sons and one daughter survive. During the life of Mark Andrea-sen, Andrea-sen, while being employed at one of the smelter companies, a suspension sus-pension of labor took place between be-tween the men and the company. He participated in this suspension and with all others was refused employment. Therefore in order to secure employment to earn sufficient support for his family, was not able to do so under his original name, he followed the advice of one of the foremen at the company and changed his name to Anderson. He was able to secure employment from that time on and was known by the name of Anderson until the time of his death. Knowing the responsibility attached at-tached to his family and knowing know-ing that it was absolutely necessary nec-essary that he be buried under his proper name I have suggested to the family especially the sons and the daughter that they use the name of Andreasen. And I desire to explain the same to the bishopric of his church and to the friends and neighbors who attended the funeral that they might know that this man obtained ob-tained this name honestly and that he did the same for the sole purpose of obtaining employment em-ployment in order to support his family. In March of 1924 he was blown up in a mine and spent seven months in a hospital and many months ill at home. Later he suffered another serious injury to his arms in a mine and for two years was unable to work. The past eight years his health has been very poor. He underwent under-went an operation at the hospital hos-pital here June 18 of last year and was bedfast until the time of his death due to complications that sot in. Through all his suffering he was patient and appreciative ap-preciative and during the six years the family have been in St. George he has won many friends. Besides his wife he is survived by the following sons and daughter. daugh-ter. George Andreasen, Lark; Nolan Andreasen, Salt Lake City; Audrian and Reed Andreasen of St. George and Mrs. Tretma Moss of St. George. And by the following fol-lowing brothers and sisters: Mrs. J. W.
