Johan Gottfrid (John) QUIST

1862 - 1946  (83 years)

• Name	Johan Gottfrid (John) QUIST
  Born	20 Jul 1862	Träslövsläge, Hallands län, Sweden
  	In one of his birth records is something like “an unmarried Lundberg girl from Övregård.”
  Gender	Male
  Confirmation	1878
  Died	Mar 1946	Canada
  Buried	9 Mar 1946	Minneapolis, Hennepin County, Minnesota
  	Cora’s diary mentions only “Maurice’s uncle.” Because Oscar’s death is noted in 1950, the 1946 funeral must be John.
  Notes	In the Swedish Birth Records, he is shown twice, once (Thorup) as the son of Fredrikka Lundberg, once (Tvååker) as the son of Emelie Wilhelmina Landberg. In neither case was there a father’s name. The 1877-1881 H.E. shows his birthplace as Träslöf which probably refers to Träslövsläge in Varberg Municipality, Halland. It’s a fishing village about 40 miles south of Gothenburg and a few miles west of Tvååker. Although not the son of Salomon, he is listed as Johan Gottfrid Salomonsson in the 1877-1881 Kånna Household Examination. Emigrated May 18, 1880, as Johan Gottfrid Salomonsson according to the out-migration record for Kånna. May be the John Godfridson, 18, servant, living with the Andrew Anderson family in Cannon Falls in the 1880 Goodhue County census. He may be the Johan Carlsson, born about 1862, who left Sweden on 8 April 1880 bound for New York. His place of origin was Torpa Halland län, Sverige, and his port of departure was Göteborg. A different John Gotfried Carlson married Martina Malin in Douglas County, Wisconsin, on 29 Jul 1899. This couple, as Gottfreid and Martina, and three of their children, lived in Duluth in the 1930 census. The oldest ... lived in Canada and supposedly never married. DHC believes that John died in Canada and that his sister Ida had his body transported to Minneapolis for burial. Identified as John Quist in Sandy’s obituary. May be the John Quist identified in the 1911 Canadian census as a pipe line worker in New Westminster, British Columbia. Bob recalls that John lived in one of Ida’s houses (across from the current Burger King) at 98th and Nicollet in Bloomington in the late 1930s. He lived there for only a few months before returning to Saskatoon, Canada. Bob recalls that John would carve linked chains 4-6 feet long out of blocks of wood.

• Photos » Slide Show		John Quist Al Carlson's oldest brother (probably a half-brother). Probably taken in the 1930s when John was in his 70s.
  		John Quist (?) This is a small photo that was included with Al's pictures. It has printed on its front "Novelty Studio, 522 Tower Ave." Since Al kept it, it must be of someone in the family. From appearance, it could be a younger John Quist.
  		Oscar Carlson, 70, and John Quist, 76 In probably Id's handwriting on the back: "Was in Cannada 24th of Aug 1939 with John and Oscar." That must be Oscar on the left.
  		John Salomonsson Quist
  		John Quist "My Happy Home" This is a postcard made in Canada. The only writing is Al's and he simply wrote "John."
  		John Quist in Canada This is a postcard although it does not say that it was made in Canada. This appears to be the area where John lived at one time. There is no suggestion that he is in the picture. There is just one word written on it and it was not written by Al. The word appears to be "Basji" or "Baji."
  		John Quist Al's oldest brother. Probably taken in the late 1930s or early 1940s.
