Biography
Anne Katherine Outzen was born on March 31, 1957 in Randers, Denmark, as the third of thirteen children. Her parents were both members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and in 1870, they took Anne and her siblings and emigrated to Utah. They first settled in Parowan and then in Richfield, Utah.
When Anne was seventeen, on May 25, 1874, she married Christian Michael Poulson in Salt Lake City. The couple settled in Richfield and ran one of the first hotels in the area. They had seven children together. When Anne was pregnant with another child, she had complications and a severe hemorrhage which lead to her death on April 16, 1888, at the age of thirty-one.
