Biography

In 1883 Emma C Tietjen had a dream. She saw an Indian woman coming to their house and asking to borrow a tub. She saw also that Ernst would marry this woman. Ira Hatch, the closest neighbor, had married a Paiute woman and had several children by him. The oldest child, Amanda, came over to borrow a tub. Emma C was startled and told her husband about the dream and its consequences. He was not overjoyed, but told Emma that if she felt that strongly about it, she should go over to Ira Hatch and discuss the matter. The outcome was that Ernst and Amanda Hatch were married later that year in Salt Lake City. Ernst had not chosen the second or third wife: it had been done for him and he became a reluctant polygamist. Amanda took her place as a peacemaker between the two wives. source: JOSEPH and MAUD TIETJEN and some equally wild NEIGHBORS, p.12 http://tietjen.org/histories/tietjen/joe-maud-tietjen/Joe-Maud_Tietjen.pdf
