Esther Astrid ANDERSON

Notes:

Middle name is supplied by the 1884-1894 Clerical Survey of Hova, Skaraborg, Sweden. The name is, however, difficult to read. The name in her birth record in the Födelsebok for Hova is Astrid Alfrida.

In the 1905 state census, she is living at home with her mother. She is a domestic.

She is a servant in the household of Charles Weyerhaeueser in Little Falls in 1910 and 1920. At this time, Charles managed the Pine Tree Lumber Company in Little Falls.

In the 1930 census, she is still a servant in that Weyerhaeuser family which now lives at 708 Summit Avenue in St. Paul. Charles’s widow Maud is now the head of the household. Esther’s birth place is erroneously shown as Illinois and her age as 39.

In the 1940 census, she is still a house maid for Maude Weyerhaeuser on Summit Avenue in St. Paul. Esther is shown as age 50, born in Illinois.

An Esther Anderson with the right birth date died in Sioux City, Iowa, in October of 1981. Given that Ethel lived in Sioux City, that Esther is probably the right one.

She is not the Esther Anderson of 1945-MN-008836.
