Biographical Note

Ola Nilsson Liljenquist (1825-1906) was born in Ignaberga, Christianstaad, Sweden, where he was converted to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church). He came to the United States and moved to Utah to be with other members of the LDS Church. Upon his arrival, he met with Brigham Young, who asked him to help with the managing of Cache Valley, in Northern Utah.
