  Notes	The Vigselbok for Rättvik, 1867, clearly shows that, on March 25, 1867, Mårs Erik Ersson of Wikarbyn, b. 1843, married something (looks like Snit) Brita Andersdatter of Sätra, born 1846. It was the first marriage for each. In the 1880 U.S. census, he was Erick Erickson, age 36, a farm laborer living with his family in Spring Vale Twp, Isanti County. The rest of the household is Betsy, 33, Betsy, 9, Annie, 3, and Erick, 6 months. The next family on the census form is Daniel H Findall, 57, his wife Betsy, 58, and children Erick and Betsy. In the 1885 Minnesota census, he was S.E. Erickson, age 41, living with his family in Springvale Twp, Isanti County, Minnesota. The rest of the household was Mrs. Bessy Erickson, 38, Betsy Erickson, 14, Anna Erickson, 8, Erick Erickson, 5, Mary Erickson, 3, and Clara Erickson, 0. The two youngest had been born in Minnesota, the rest were born in Sweden. He is referred to as S.E. Erickson. An article in the Princeton Union says that he was thrown from a load of straw and killed when the hind wheel of the wagon rolled over the top part of his head and crushed his skull. Another article in the Princeton Union says that Eric Erickson was “strawing” the road near Spectacle Lake in Spring Vale. He fell off the wagon “and in falling came in contact with the horses. The frightened team ran away and the wheels passed over the unfortunate man’s head killing him almost instantly.”
