SWINEHART, G.L. (I21924)

18820

She was Hannah Christenson when she married Swan Johnson.

Terry says: Hannah and Charley Lundberg were living in Milo Township in between Milaca and Foreston, Minnesota, I believe. In a previous Census there was a Hannah who was Danish living near to Charley Lundberg and married to a much older man named SWAN JOHNSON. Possibly he died about the same time as Britta Maria died and they met in Foreston/ Milaca or knew each other from earlier days. Hannah was Danish on her 1934 death certificate in CANADA.

She is buried in the small cemetery on the Archibald/Jestin farm (beside John & Annie Quaid). There is a space between Hannah and John & Annie. I assumed it could have been where Charlie was until I found out he was buried in Nelson, B.C.

Her obituary:

Mrs. Hannah Lundberg passed away at Melfort hospital on Saturday, November 11th following an illness of broncho pneumonia. It will be remembered several months ago she sustained a broken hip in a fall. Mrs. Lundberg was born in Denmark in 1854 and is survived by her husband who at the time of her death was visiting his daughter at Preeceville and was unable to be present at the funeral. Mr. Lundberg is in his 83rd year.

The funeral was held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. J. Quaid, Rev. Riddolls officiating. Interment took palce in Kermaria cemetery.

In the 1900 census, a Mrs. Inga J. Johnson was living in the village of Foreston with her father Christ Christianson. This woman had an 8 year-old daughter named Mary living with her and Christ. Inga was born March 1854 in Denmark and came to the U.S. in 1891. The census shows that she had been married for 14 years and had had three children, only one still living.
