Unknown

Notes:

Probably more than one man. In the case of Mathilda Maria, the father was Aron Carlsson.

The record for her marriage to Salomon shows it to have been the first marriage for each of them.

Family/Spouse: Emelie/Emmeli Wilhelmina (Emma) LUNDBERG. Emelie/Emmeli (daughter of Johan Mårten (Martin) Persson LUNDBERG and Maja Lisa LIND) was born on 20 Oct 1843 in Rydö, Torup, Småland, Hallands län, Sweden; was christened on 29 Oct 1843 in Torup, Hallands län, Sweden; died on 19 May 1903 in Superior, Douglas County, Wisconsin; was buried on 28 Jun 1939 in Crystal Lake Cemetery, Minneapolis, Hennepin County, Minnesota. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Other Events and Attributes:

• Confirmation: 1878

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.

Birth:
In one of his birth records is something like “an unmarried Lundberg girl from Övregård.”

Buried:
Cora’s diary mentions only “Maurice’s uncle.” Because Oscar’s death is noted in 1950, the 1946 funeral must be John.

Notes:

Shown in the Swedish Indexed Birth Records as the child of Aron Carlsson and Wilhelmina Lundberg.

The 1861-1866 Household Examination for Torup, Öfregårds Nybygge, p. 95), for Johan’s family, shows that Emeli had another child between Johan Gottfrid and Josefina.

Other Events and Attributes:

• Confirmation: 1880

Notes:

In the födelsbok, only her mother’s name is given, no father.

Probably not the daughter of Salomon. Called Josefina Carolina Albertine in the 1861-1866 Torup Household Examination (p. 95).

Emigrated May 16, 1881, according to Jan Webb. The portion of the family leaving Sweden at that time were Emma, Josephine, Charlie, Ida, and Hedda Sofia. Carl Oscar and Johan Alfred stayed behind in Sweden. The oldest, John, emigrated the year before.

A Josephine Carlson married a Charles Smith in Hennepin County on 4 Jun 1883 (#00210435).

From the Emibas CD:

Lundberg, Josefina Karolina
Dotter (unmarried woman)

b. 7/11/1865 in Torup, Hallands län (Halland)

Emigrated 5/16/1881
from Berghem Westregård, Kånna, Kronobergs län (Småland)
to Nordamerika

Source: Emibas migration file ID: Kånna G 1881 016

A Josephin Carlson, age 16 (b. ca 1865 in Sweden), spinster, arrived in New York aboard the City of Berlin on 5 Sep 1881. That is the best match for Josephi* or Josef* arriving from Sweden in 1881.

A Josefina C Carlsson, b. 1865, kvinna, from Stamnared Halland län, destination “Lemont”, is in the Swedish emigration records (EmiHamn) as departing from Göteborg on 19 August 1881. The handwriting on the original manifest, for the Romeo bound for Hull, is not clear so “Stamnared” and “Lemont” are best guesses but probably not correct. (The Gothenburg index interprets birth place as “Stainnand.”) Halland is quite clear, however.

From Jan’s research, this is probably the record of Josephine’s death:

Josefina married Charles Cady SMITH on 4 Jun 1883 in Hennepin County, Minnesota.

[Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

In the 1895 state census, he is 12 year-old Fred J Smith. He lives with his father’s step-sister, her husband, and his father’s brother in Newport in Washington County, Minnesota. The family had apparently recently moved there.

In the 1900 census, he is the Fred J Smith, b. Mar 1883 in Minnesota, a boarder with the Henry and Katherine L Tuelle family (Fred’s father’s step-sister) in Newport in Washington County, Minnesota. He had no occupation. His father was born in Connecticut and his mother in Minnesota.

In the 1914 Minneapolis city directory, he is probably the Fred J Smith, painter, who lives at 1351 Nicollet Avenue.

He registered for the draft as Fred Jay Smith in Minneapolis (Local Board for Division No. 11, 1525 East Franklin) in September of 1918. His nearest relative is Clarabel Smith, 1224 Mary Place in Minneapolis. Fred’s address is 2113 8th Street South in Minneapolis. He is employed as a painter by Fred Leckley at 1205 3rd Avenue South in Minneapolis. Fred is described as tall and slender with blue eyes and light blond hair.

A Fred Jay Smith, employed as “rlest”, is recorded in the Los Angeles County voter registrations in 1922. He lived at 718 West 3d Street and declined to state his party affiliation.

If he lived in Minneapolis in the mid-1930s (as shown in the 1940 census), he is probably the Fred J Smith, wife Grace, who lived at 1368 La Salle Avenue, Apt 202, in the 1934 city directory.

In the 1940 census, he is Fred J Smith, living in Los Angeles with his wife Grace H. Fred is 57, Grace is 50, born in Pennsylvania. Neither has an occupation. Both lived in Minneapolis in 1935. Both have an eighth-grade education.

Fred Jay Smith registered for the World War II draft in 1942. At that time he was living at 1531 S. Hoover Street in Los Angeles. His telephone number was Fi-0479. He gave, as the person who would always know his address, Al Carlson of 4212 S. 12th Avenue, Minneapolis. Fred was employed by the P.E. Railway Co., 6th & Main St., Los Angeles. His place of employment was Torrence, California, “in shops.” (This registration is shown in FamilySearch and is not included in the registrations indexed in Ancestry.com.)

Neither he nor Grace are listed in the 1950 census.

Fred appears in Cora’s diary on August 13, 1954, when he accompanied Ide and Gus to visit Maurice and Cora in Bloomington.

His death certificate is 15433, filed September 13th. It is image 1232 of 2483 in FS’s Los Angeles County death certificates for 1957 nos. 14450-16460. Fred was a house painter in the building industry. His wife, Grace Smith, was the informant. She did not know the name or birthplace of either Fred’s mother or Fred’s father. She also did not know if he had a Social Security number. Fred had been in Los Angeles for five years. He died in Long Beach at his home at 1020 Temple Avenue. The attending physician, Thomas L Rogers, said that he had last seen Fred alive on 13 August. Fred died at 10:50 AM on 16 August. The funeral director was Pierce Bros. Inglewood. Fred was buried on 21 August in Valhalla Memorial Park.

Birth:
date according to his draft registration; agrees with death certificate

Called Pierce Brothers Valhalla Memorial Park in Find A Grave. Fred is not listed in Find A Grave’s indexing of those interred at Valhalla.

Mildred (daughter of Albin O MALM and Clara GERBER) was born on 29 Oct 1901 in Iowa; died on 3 Dec 1986 in Ventura County, California; was buried in Inglewood Park Cemetery, Los Angeles County, California.
