Carl Oscar JOHNSON LUNDBERG

Notes:

He married his first cousin.

Supposedly had relatives living in Boston. On the ship’s manifest, he is referred to as “son Carl O. Lundberg, Boston” as the relative that his parents and three youngest living siblings were to meet in Boston. His sister Emma is also mentioned as meeting the family in Boston.

The Södra Hestra Household Examination for 1891-1897 (p. 209) shows him leaving for N. Amerika on October 6, 1891.

Terry says: I found Oscar Johnson leaving Sweden in year 1892 and arriving finally in Foreston, Minnesota, where my family lived and my grandmother Annie Josephine was born. It is near Milaca, Minnesota.

In the 1899 Superior city directory, and going by the address shown for him and his family in the 1900 census, he is Oscar Johnson, laborer, 1205 N 3d. In the 1900 city directory, he is shown as still at the same address and working as a laborer for the “St P and W Coal Co.” He is probably then the Oscar C. Johnson in the 1901 city directory who is a laborer for the St P & W Coal Co and lives at 510-1/2 Bay.

Shown in the 1900 census, and the 1910 census, as having come to the U.S. in 1890.

In the 1905 state census, he and his family were farming in New London Twp, Kandiyohi County, Minnesota. He was Oscar J. Lundberg, 30. His household was Mrs. Tilda Lundberg, 28, Esther, 8, Sophie, 4, and Nellie, 9 months. The family had been in the present location for 2 years. Oscar claimed to have been in Minnesota for 20 years and Tilda for all 28.

In the 1910 census, he and his family were farming in Grove City, Swede Grove Twp, Meeker County, Minnesota.

Terry’s check of the border crossing records: On June 14, 1911, Oscar Johnson and his father Johan August Lundberg cross the border {going from the U.S. to Canada} at Emerson, Manitoba by train. Their destination: Englefelt, Saskatchewan, which is the closest railway station to the Naicam area at that time. On the same train is J. J. Quaid, husband of Annie Rebecka Lundberg but his destination is Edson, Alberta. At that time it was a small town.

In the 1916 Canadian census, as Oscar Johnson, he, Tillie, and family were in St. Peter in Humboldt, Saskatchewan (39, 19, 2, St. Peter). The household consisted of Oscar, 45, Tillie, 43, Esther, 19, Frieda, 17, Sophia, 15, Emma, 12, Josie, 9, Myrtle, 6, and Charley, 5. They had come to Canada in 1910. (Although we know that Carl was born in Minnesota in March of 1911.)

Terry says that Oscar was denied Canadian citizenship but no reason was given. The 1916 census shows that Oscar became a Canadian citizen in 1915.

Terry says: Oscar Johnson and Tilley homesteaded west of Naicam about ten miles and moved into Naicam later. They had the cafe and rooming house above across the street from the railway station near the bank on the corner. (The cafe was on Railway Avenue according to Claudia.) They moved east of Naicam in the country later and had some land there. In later years they moved to the City of Saskatoon, Sask., where Tilley died and was buried in the Naicam Cemetery. Oscar Johnson also died in Saskatoon, I think.

According to his obit, Oscar had resided in Saskatoon for 15 years when he died in 1962.

According to Terry, Harlen Vollum, Oscar’s grandson, remembers Oscar Johnson arriving by bicycle from central Saskatchewan for a visit to his North Dakota daughter and family at age eighty plus.

Carl married Thilda Maria (Tillie) LUNDBERG on 4 Sep 1907 in Mille Lacs County, Minnesota. Thilda (daughter of Carl Gustaf (Charley) LUNDBERG and Britta Maria (Mary Or Mare) SVENSDOTTER) was born on 20 Mar 1875 in Kånna, Småland, Kronobergs län, Sweden; died on 7 Dec 1941 in Naicam, Saskatchewan, Canada; was buried on 12 Dec 1941 in Immanuel Lutheran Church Cemetery, Naicam, Saskatchewan, Canada. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Or 13 Aug 1896 in Foreston. The 1900 census shows her as being born in Wisconsin in October of 1896. She may be the Maria Johnson born in Douglas County on 8 Oct 1896 although one source says that Esther’s middle name was Virginia.

Married to Wenschlag and living in Calgary at the time her father’s death.

Esther married Richard Henry WENSCHLAG on 15 Nov 1917 in Humboldt, Saskatchewan, Canada. Richard was born in 1894 in Claire City, Robert County, South Dakota; died in Jan 1960 in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

TAYLOR, Earl
1925 - 2015
Earl passed away on Saturday, February 7, 2015. He was pleased to reach his goal of 90 years and reflected back on a good life with many a smile and an occasional tear in the last month. He was predeceased by his parents Everett and Freida; wife of 55 years Gwendoline "Gwen"; son Albert Kenneth "Ken"; granddaughter Megan; son-in-law Bryan; and siblings Florence, Albert, and Kenneth. Dad lost his friend, Corporal Alphonse Nobel on the battlefield in France. He never forgot him. Earl will be remembered by his children Robert (Sue), Elizabeth "Beth", Virginia "Ginny" (Gord), Allan, and Florence "Flo" (Dennis); grandchildren Tina (Danny), Shannon, Tammy, Robert (Toni), Crystal, Sarah (Blake), Gord, Eric (Farah), Amanda (Jason), Lisa, and Simon (Nicole); daughters-in-law Sheila and Mona; numerous great-grandchildren, nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends. Dad loved Saskatchewan and was honoured to be a part of its history. He served in the Canadian Army overseas; farmed in a cooperative near Smokey Burn; and worked for the Department of Agriculture Conservation and Development Branch for 36 years. Dad often said he had the best job in the world. He got to travel throughout the province creating community pastures, drilling dugouts and visiting with people. Upon retirement, Dad and Mom took time to stay connected with lifelong friends and family throughout Canada and the U.S., but he was always glad to return home to his family, the garden, and his early morning swims at the Lawson Aquatic Centre. He also worked with the Canadian Corps of Commissionaires in retirement. Dad was a proud member of the Royal Canadian Legion for 59 years. In 2014, he was awarded with the Knight of the National Order of the Legion of Honour; a recognition from the Government of France. In his later years at the "Vets" unit in Wascana Rehab, Earl could be found in the solarium reading, singing or visiting. Our family wishes to extend our heartfelt thanks to all the staff of Unit 3-6. Each of you helped to make Wascana his home. Thank you to the Royal Canadian Legion and the Ladies Auxiliary for their dedication to all the veterans.

Although Ken lived most of his life on the west coast, he had many friends across Canada. Many of us will remember him driving happily across Canada and the States in his 18-wheeler, listening to his trucking tunes, talking on the CB. He had many good memories of the friends he made the hours spent with his sons on the road, eating at truck stops, sleeping in his cab, and passing each other on the highway. I can remember many a holiday visiting those same truck stops, checking to see who might be in town. He was a man known for his laughter and loyalty to friends. He loved to play jokes on people, and so he was also the receiver of many jokes as well. He was a treasure, a million times more valuable than the ones some people spend a lifetime trying to find. He was someone whom anyone would be privileged to know. He was not only a fantastic friend; he was a tremendous, rare and extraordinary person, a beloved father, grandfather, uncle and husband. He will be missed by all who knew him. This world is a better place because he walked through it. Celebration of life will be held Saturday, December 1st from 2:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. at his son Gord and Jan Langevin's home.
