Family 1

Storhans Erik Larsson, born July 16, 1813 in Östra Storbyn, Våmhus,

Foto finns.
Hed Anna födde på en gård i Bäck, Våmhus men flyttade vid
giftermålet till makens gård nr 24 i Limbäck, Våmhus. Den 29/3
1859 flyttade familjen från Våmhus till Hallen i Jämtland
tillsammans med Eriks mor och tvenne systrar, Annas Mor och en
syster samt ytterligare en familj.
I flyttningsbetyget står att Erik och Anna "läser väl" och att de
förstår "salighetsläran" "något" och att de övergått till
Baptismen.
Vid rubriken Frejd står båda som oklandrade. Där står även att
Erik bevistade nattvarden senast den 14/1 1853 och Anna dito.
Husförhör bevistades senast av Erik den 14/1 1857 och Anna den 9/8
1856.
Barnen Erik och Anders flyttade till Amerika, Karin till Norge och
senare även hon till Amerika, Lars fört till Mattmar och sedan
till Amerika och Mait Maria först till Sundsvall och sedan till
Amerika.
Hos familjen bodde även Annas mor och syster Mait. Om Mait stod
att hon läser innan och utantill någorlunda, förstår
salighetsläran svagt, att hon var döv och svag samt att hon haft
"skyddskoppor".
På gården i Jämtland bodde tidigare en Mattias Jonsson, född 1803
med familj. De utflyttade den 17/10 1859.

Married 1851 in Våmhus to
Hed Anna Andersdotter, born Oct 17, 1829 in Bäck, Våmhus,
dead Aug 1, 1923 in Frösön, Östersund. Hårkulla/Hustru.

Children:
* Storhans Anna Eriksdotter, born Sept 29, 1852, to family
2.

* Storhans Lars Eriksson, born Oct 22, 1854, to family 3.

* Storhans Kristina Eriksdotter, born Nov 30, 1856, to family 4.

* Storhans Karin Eriksdotter, born Dec 14, 1859, to family 5.

* Storhans Erik Eriksson, born Dec 24, 1861, to family 6.

* Storhans Anders Eriksson, born Dec 24, 1861 in Högen, Hallen,
dead 1893 ca in Amerika. Tvilling. Ihjälslagen före 1905.
Anteckning i kyrkoboken: "Odöpt".
Innan han utflyttade till N.Amerika den 26/8 1882 var han dräng i
bland annat Kläppe i Lockne församling och i Norge.
I Amerika blev hans liv inte särskilt långt. Exakt när han dog är
ännu inte känt men det var före 1905 då brodern Erik dog.
Anders var ogift och hade inga barn. Sitt öde mötte han då han
råkade vara närvarande vid ett rån och där blev slagen i huvudet
så kraftigt att han senare avled i sviterna därav. Släktingarna i
Sverige blev underrättade genom att han i sin ficka hade en adress
till familjen där. Även platsen där detta hände är ännu okänd.
Brodern bodde dock i Chicago varför det är troligt att även han
fanns där i närheten.
Under den första tiden i Amerika efter det att brodern Eric kommit
dit, Anders kom 1882 och Erik 1884, har de fotograferat sig
tillsammans med ytterligare två vänner. Samtilga tre fotografier
undertecknad har är tagna hos samme fotograf i Chicago.

Anders var hos fotografer i Chicago med följande adresser:
L.W Felt, 147-149 E Chicago Ave 1 foto känt och
L.W Felt, 215 E. Chicago Ave 2 fotografier kända

Dödsregistret för Cook County, Chicago, Illinois för åren
1893-1905 har ej givit något resultat.
I ett brev från modern, Hed Anna Andersdotter, till Anders
tvilllingbror Eric i Chicago, daterat 27 Juli 1893 står bl.a
följande:
"...och att du ville sända mig några rader så jag får höra hur ni
lever och hur det står till med Anders om han lever och är lika
dan ännu..." och senare i brevet:
"..huru Anders, min dyre Anders, ligger på mig, hälsa honom om det
kan låta sig göras. Farväl."
Uttrycket "om det kan låta sig göras", och den känlsa de övriga
orden ger, tyder på att Anders var i en svår situation vid det här
tillfället.
Av de kort som finns tyder det mesta på att Eric och Anders stod
varandra nära. De är tillsammans på många kort ifrån Chicago och
var båda skräddare. Kanske arbetade de tillsammans?
Kanske var det så att 1893 är det år då Anders mötte sin baneman
och senare avled i sviterna av dennes behandling?

* Storhans Mait Maria Eriksdotter, born Aug 24, 1865, to family 7.


Family 2

Storhans Anna Eriksdotter (from family 1),
born Sept 29, 1852 in Limbäck, Våmhus, dead March 29, 1928 in Tottänge,
Östersund. Hustru.

Married May 28, 1875 in Hallen to
Olov Andersson Gärdin, born Feb 2, 1849 in Höla, Hallen,
dead April 5, 1915 in Tottänge, Brunflo. Byggmästare.

Tottänge är och var en del av Östersunds stad men tillhörde på den
tiden Brunflo församling.
Olov Andersson-Gärdin föddes i Hallen, Jämtland. Hans far var
torpare under Höla nr 3 om vilken det står att han under sina
sista levnadsår var fattig.
Olov växte upp och med titeln "arbetare" kom han till Ytterhallen
och en gård som i dag kallas Högen, en mycket vacker plats med
utsikt över Storsjön och Hammarnäs.
Där gifte han sig med Storhans Anna Ersdotter vars familj
utvandrat från Våmhus i Dalarna år 1859.
De blev kvar på gården Högen fram till november 1885 då de
flyttade till Åhsböle i Ytterån under Alsens församling. I
kyrkoboken för Hallen står det 21/11 som flyttdatum medan Alsen
har skrivit 6/11.
Där byggde Olov ett mycket vackert hus åt sig och sin familj och
var även med och startade Ytteråns Baptisförsamling där sedan
sonen Anders var församlingsföreståndare.
Den 23/10 1901 flyttar familjen, utom Anders som bor kvar, till
Tottänge i Östersund.
På Tottänge byggde Olov upp ett tegelbruk och drev även ett mindre
jordbruk. Där hade även sönerna Erik och Julius en snickerifabrik.

Olov var godmodig och lekfull och brukade ofta låna sonsonen
Kalles styltor. Olov hade två par glasögon där det ena paret var
något starkare än det andra. Ibland glömde han var de var och då
kunde båda paren sitta uppe i pannan.
Vid ett tillfälle när han var på väg in till stan, åkandes häst
och vagn, drabbades han av en liten hjärnblödning och tuppade av.
Då vände hästen, som hette Maggan, och gick hem med honom.
Olov dog sedermera av järnblödning.
Hustrun Anna var vänlig men bestämd och tyckte mycket om att läsa
böcker. När sonsonen Kalle kom på besök bjöd hon ofta på kaffe och
våfflor. På vardagarna bakade hon dem på kornmjöl och på helgerna
av vetemjöl.

Foto finns på samtliga utom sonen Karl, 3 år.

Children:
* Anders Olsson Gärdin, born April 23, 1876, to family 8.

* Erik Olsson Gärdin, born May 14, 1878, to family 9.

* Christina Gärdin, born Sept 11, 1880 in Högen, Hallen,
dead Dec 20, 1918 in Tottänge, Brunflo. Skinnsömmerska.
Om människor som har en ärlig, inneboende, utgivande kärlek och
värme brukar vi i dagligt tal kalla för "änglar".
En sådan person var Christina.
Om man därtill också tar med hennes utseende så finns bara en
benämning som är någorlunda riktig: "Den gudomliga".
Redan i Ytterån började hon hjälpa till i kyrkan, både med
söndagsskola och i sångkören där hon spelade gitarr och sjöng.
Detta fortsatte hon med även då de flyttat in till Östersund och
det sägs att hon sjöng mycket vackert.
I körne i Östersund sjöng även kusinen Mia Staverfelt. Kören
leddes av Mias far Anton Staverfelt som var gift med Christinas
moster Christina.
Under Karl Gärdins barndom pysslades han fliltigt om utav
Christina som ofta gästade Erik Gärdins hem.
Christina bodde hos sina föräldrar, hade många manliga beundrare
men "föll" inte för någon av dem.
Christina dog 1918, endast 38 år gammal.

* Anna Gärdin, born Jan 20, 1883 in Högen, Hallen, dead April 17, 1893

Family 3

Storhans Lars Eriksson (from family 1), born Oct 22, 1854
in Ljusdal, Ljusdal, dead July 4, 1918 in Texas, U.S.A. Banvaktare/Lineman.

Lars med hustru Kristina flyttade den 25/10 1885 från Högen i
Hallen till Norrgård i Mattmar. Där födde Kristina sonen Karl
Erik. Två år senare dog hon i Lungsot och begravdes i Näskott den
25/9 1887. Ett år senare är det lysning i Hallens kyrka den 11/11
mellan pigan från Brasta i Hallen och Lars. Den 16/11 1888 ingår
de civiläktenskap och som officiant står kronofogde A.Lank.
Samma år begär de utträde ur svenska kyrkan då de "övergått till
baptistsamfundet".
Som anteckning vid båda barnen står: "Föräldrarna vägrat låta döpa
barnet".
Den 13/6 1892 står de antecknade som utflyttade till Norra Amerika
med attest nr 16.


Lars and his wife Kristina Karlsdaughter moved at Oct. 25 1885
from his parents farm in Hallen, Jämtland to Northfarm in Mattmar,
Jämtland. (Ca 40 km away) There was their first son born. Two
years later she died in TBC, tuberculous and was burried in
Näskott, Jämtland at Sep. 25 1887.
One year later, Nov. 11 1888 there is a publication of the banns
in the Church of Hallen. At Nov.16 1888 they get a civil marriage.
The officiating clergyman was the Sheriff A. Lank.
The same year they announced their resignation of membership in
the Swedish State Church. They were Baptist members.
Non of their children was baptist in the regular Church.
At Jun. 13 1892 they got an attest number 16 for traveling to
North Amerika.
From the newspaper Norway Current, Saturday, July 27, 1918:

Rubrik: DIED IN TEXAS
Ingress: Body of Lars Erickson Brought Home From Texas, Tuesday
and Buried Wednesday.

Text: The family of Lars Erickson, a long time resident of this
city was brought home from Texas, Tuesday, by his son, Helmer, and
the burial occurred Wednesday afternoon.
Deceased went to Texas in 1912 for the benefit of his healt. At
the time of his death, July 4th, he was employed in a ship-yard
and death was caused by a fire therein, he and oneother being the
victims.
He was born in Dalarna, Sweden, and was 63 years, 8 months and 12
days old. He camt to Norway in 1892 and with his family had made
this his home since that time. He was married a second time, Nov.
16 1888, to Miss Christina Bergvall(dahl). His surviving relatives
are a son by his first marriage, three sons and a daughter by his
second mariage, and his widow.
Deceased was a member of the local Swedish Baptist church, from
1892 to the time of death and the remains were buried from that
chuch, Wednesday afternoon, Rev. John Linder, the pastor,
officiating.

From Lars Grandchild Bruce Erickson have I got the following
story: It is hard for us, as we view the history of Lars and
Kerstin Erickson more than one hundred years later, to know all of
the factors that led these two to leave family and friends and
emigrate to a new land. We also have heard of religious
persecution to the protesters against the Scandinavian State
Church. Shurley, the promise of free land (whether it was realized
or not) must have been an incentive. Certainly, whatever might
have been said of the emigrants by those that stayed in Sweden, it
could not be denied that they were risk takers.

It undoubtedly speaks volumes about the stoicism of the
Scandinavian people, in general, and our forebears in particular,
that we know very little about any suffering associated with those
early days. Lars and Kerstin Brought with them their little son of
three or four years age named Helmer, as well as Carl Eric (we
know him as Charlie), a son from the first marriage of Lars. We do
not know, but suspect that some family member or friend had
preceeded them to Norway, Michigan, since this was a pattern that
was followed deal of mining, and was known as the "copper
country". Iron was also mined as well. It is noteworthy that both
Helmer and Ray (Rheinhold) found employment in mining related jobs
there in Michigan.

These people did not bring wealth to the new world, though they
did bring a pride and love for fine things. They brought a strong
faith, as exemplified by their active participation in the Swedish
Baptist Church of Norway, Michigan. The writer remembers, well,
family gatherings in later years that always gravitated (after
coffee was finished of course) to the piano where Swedish hymns
were sung, in three or four part harmony. Music was very important
in the Erickson family. Ruth played the piano, Helmer the flute,
Ray the Mandolin, and Tony (being a music educator) played many
instruments.

The Erickson home in Norway was not large (even though we
understand that Kerstin took in some boarders), yet it was
scenically located above Lake Mary. In the winter, this lake was
cleared of snow so that the youth of the town could figure skate
to the music of a wind up phonograph. On other occasions, the
Erickson family would open the windows of their home and serenade
the skaters; Ruth playing the piano, Helmer the flute, Ray the
mandolin, and Tony the violin. It was said that the home became
quite cold during these concerts.

Lars was a skilled wood carver, making useful kitchen implements,
some of which the writer still has. The mechanical skills that
Lars undoubtedly had in order to be a railroad section foreman in
Sweden were borne out in all of his sons and have transferred to
succeeding generations. No less skilled was Kerstin, who used a
knitting machine to produce wool sweaters for people whose large
size made it difficult to by garments to fit them. This knitting
business brought income to the Erickson family.

It is notable that there are some things about which we do not
know. The second generation of Lars and Kerstin did not talk much
about the past. I would like to think that this was not rooted in
bad memories of the past, but rather the fact that they were an
optimistic, forward looking people. Similarly, they did not teach
their native tongue to the third generation. Thus, at family
gatherings (often in Helmer`s home in Milwaukee) jokes were told
in Swedish that the children could not appreciate.

Another thing that we do not know is why Kerstin, nee Bergdahl,
was known as Kristina in the United Stated. While it at first
would seem to be a simple error between first and second wife, yet
the second name shown is consistant with what we know.
One could wonder whether this was a change of her choice ( as did
Ray) or whether there might have been a change made by the
immigration service as the Erikssons ( who became Ericksons) came
through Ellis Island. The writer has the seal used by Lars as a
railroad section foreman in Sweden. On one end is an engraving of
an old steam locomotive and on the other is engraved "L.
Eriksson".

It was in Norway Michigan that Ray, Tony and Ruth were born. Thus
they joined Charlie and Helmer who had been born in Sweden. While
we know little about Ray and Tony, we know that Ruth was a
premature baby small enough so that a shoe box was initially used
as a crib for the little child. Given the poor chances for
survival of a baby so small in those days, it is remarkable she
lived well into her eighties.

There seems to have been a closeness of the Lars Erickson children
to the Blomgren family. John Blomgren and his wife Susan would
later move to Milwaukee, Wisconsin as the family of Lars did as
well. The conditions which brought about this move were a turning
point in the Erickson family.

We know little about how Lars made his living in Norway, Michigan.
It may have been that he found it difficult to find work of
equivalent impórtance to that which he had in Sweden. We do know
that during World War I (for America that was 1916-1918) he
traveled to Texas alone in order to establish a citrus farm. To
gain money toward that goal, he took a job as a watchman in a
shipyard in the Port Arthur area. He was killed in a fire that
consumed the shipyard on a July 4th (the United States
Independence day) when no other workers were present. It fell to
Helmer (then in his twenties) to travel to Texas to claim the body
of his father.
A pocket watch, or a wedding ring, are said to have been the means
of identification. Helmer and Ray then took over the
responsibility for the family. It can only be assumed that Charlie
had left Norway for other endeavors.

While Helmer and Ray had employment in Michigan, they undoubtly
saw more opportunity in Milwaukee, which has been known as the
"machine shop of the world". More will be said in the sections for
each of them about their jobs there, but it was their employment
that made it possible to make a home for Kerstin and Ruth. Tony
had apparently left home to find fame as a traveling jazz
musician. Thus it fell to them to pay for Ruth`s education (as a
teacher) as well as to give here a wedding (to Robert Peterson)
that was described by the women of that church as a very gracious
lady. Silverware and chinadishes that remain from that Milwaukee
home (a large upper flat on South Delaware Avenue) show good taste
and refinement by today`s standards.

The family responsibilities thrust upon Helmer and Ray had the
effect of delaying their own freedom to marry. Helmer would not
marry until his late thirties and Ray his early forties. Helmer`s
marriage was almost coincident with his mother`s death caused by
cancer. Ray would live with Helmer and his wife Constance until
after his marriage to Dagmar, who was the sister of Constance.

It now seems most expedient to trace the Erickson family by
looking at the history of each of the children of Lars. Most
difficult is the history of Charlie inasmuch much of his life in
America was spent far away from his siblings and because there
were no children of which we know. Each of he other children of
Lars have at least one remaining descendent and the succeding
history is the best recollections gathered from them. I am
grateful for the help that thay have given me in putting this
history in America toghether.
Closure:
A reading of this history of the descendents of Lars Erickson will
likely find some sense of pride in the recounting of how this
family faced the "new world" and adopted to it. It is not for this
reason, however, that such things are recordet. Rather it is to
try to give to our American family a sense of memory and at the
same time our Swedish family a record of what they perhaps have
never known. In this reading, as well as the history of the family
that stayed in Sweden, we may be able to see traits common to both
branches of the family that may answer questions that have been in
the back of minds.

were filled with friends and neighbors who had learned to love and
respect Mr. Wallin during his residence of twentyone years in this
city. The wealth of floral offerings also bore myte testimony of
the esteem in which he was regarded.
Rev. Lorimer of the Baptist church delivered a sermon which was
filled with comfort for the bereaved. A choir also gave several
appropriate selections. Interment took place at Greenwood
cemetery.
Hans Wallin was born September 28th, 1847 i Sweden and was one of
a family of seven children all of whom preceded him in death.
He was married at Trondhejm, Norway, February 11 th, 1880, and in
the year 1903 came to Park Rapids where he had since made his
home. He was a member of the local Baptist church.
Mr. Wallin was a guit unassuming gentleman, a great lover of his
home and family and during his residence made friends of all who
came to know him.
For some time he had been afflicet with heart trouble but was able
to be around. He was an active man in spite of his tears and it
was while he was engaged in picking up things about the yard,
which he took special pride in keeping neat, that he was taken
with an attack of his trouble.
He went into the house and laid down complaineing of a severe pain
in the region of the heart. Before a physician could be summoned
the call to a higher life had come and Mr. Wallin answered the
summons.
Those who are left to mourn the loss of a loving husband and
father are the widow and two daughters, Mrs. A. T Jacob and Mrs.
Ira Lindquist. There are also two grandsons Theodore Jacob and Rex
Lindquist. Those from out of town attending the services were Mr.
and Mrs. Chas. Erickson of Nevis, Heartfelt sympathy is extended
the bereaved.

Children:
* Anna Margareta Wallin, born July 31, 1882, to family 20.

* Hanna Kristina Wallin, born Dec 9, 1886, to family 21.

Från Joan Oberthaler i Norway, Michigan har jag 1995 fått följande
historik:
The City Norway is a small city, with about 3000 people living
here. At one time, it was about double the size, and was a busy
mining town. The iron ore mining has been discontinued now, and
the paper mills are our biggist industries at this time.
Iron ore was discovered in and around the Norway area... and the
mining industry brought many immigrants to this area. The first
settlers were miners, woodsmen, lubermen, farmers, and merchants.
All were needed to develop this area.
The town of Norway grew very fast, and was a thriving community,
when disaster struck!
In 1888, there was a terrible fire, which destroyed about half of
the town`s businesses and homes!
Most of the people were away to watch a circus, so there weren`t
many lives lost in the fire, but property was destroyed! By the
next year, many of the businesses were rebuilt, only to have
another terrible thing happen! The buildings began to sink,
because of all the undermining... and now most of the buildings
had to be moved, or torn down and rebuilt in the southern part of
the town!

Anders Olsson Gärdin (from family 2), born April 23, 1876
in Högen, Hallen, dead Aug 24, 1939 in Böle, Ytterån, Alsen. Elinstallatör
in Ytterån, Alsen.

Anders föddes på en utav gårdarna i Högen, Hallen i Jämtlands län.

När Anders var nio år gammal flyttade familjen till en avsöndring
under Åhsböle i Ytterån, Alsens församling.
Där byggde fadern Olov upp ett stort fint hus och på gården fanns
ytterligare ett hus.
I dessa hus fick Anders genom åren uppleva flera svåra tragedier.
Där fick han uppleva hur fyra av hans närmaste dog. Lillasyster
Anna, lillebror Karl och längre fram hans två egna barn Ruth och
Olof.
När fadern och övriga familjen på hösten 1901 flyttade in till
Östersund stannade Anders och hans hustru Karin kvar i Ytterån. De
rörde sig dock en del även de.
Först till Offerdals församling 1902, kom tillbaka 1906, till
Näskott 1909 och sedan åter 1914.
I Ytterån var säkert Anders en välkänd person. I byn var han den
som skötte om det elektriska, i baptistförsamlingen var han
föreståndare, musikledare och tillsammans med brodern Erik också
söndagsskollärare.
Dessutom drev han ett litet jordbruk.
Sonen Olof, kallad Olle, tänkte gå i sin faders fotspår och skulle
efter fullgjord värnplikt börja på en utbildning till elingenjör i
Gävle. Värnplikten gjorde han i Boden där han vid något tillfälle
låg i drag och fick vatten i lungsäcken. Svårt sjuk kom han hem
där han efter en tid fick TBC och dog 1926.
Fyra år senare fick Anders bära också sin dotter till graven.
Hon dog också hon i TBC.
När Olle dog hämtade Anders någonstans uppe i fjällen en fin
fjällsten vilken inom loppet av fjorton år blev ett minnesmärke
för hela familjen.
1928 dog Anders bror Julius varvid dennes hustru blev ensam med
tre barn varför Anders då tog hand om deras älsta dotter Anna.
Anna stannade hos dem till dess Anders hustru dog 1941.

Family 10

Olov Olsson Gärdin (from family 2), born Sept 30, 1885
in Högen, Hallen, dead May 10, 1952 in Östersund. Glasmästare.

Olov Gärdin var gift med Anna Pettersson.
Annas mor föddes i en liten backstuga vid Norra Säm i Gäsene härad
utanför Herrljunga i Västergötland.
Hon träffade en rallare, dvs en man som arbetade med att bygga
järnvägar, och gifte sig med honom och hamnade så småningom i
Brunflos församling i Jämtland.
Där träffade hon sin livslånga kärlek, Olov Gärdin. Olov föddes på
gården Högen i Hallen men familjen flyttade redan då han bara var
ett par månader gammal till Ytterån och sedan vidare till Tottänge
i Östersund men under Brunflos församling.
Olle blev så småningom glasmästare med engen verksad och butik.
Brorsonen Kalle var där ibland och hjälpte till med att göra kitt.

Olle var i sin ungdom känd för att ha "kort stubin" och många hade
säkert "ömma" minnen från honom.
Vid ett tillfälle hade han och lillebror Julius varit på
Frälsningsarmèn. När de kom ut stod tio till tolv ynglingar
utanför och väntade på att ge Julius en omgång.
Olle sa till brodern:"Bry dig onte om det här."
"Det här klarar jag." Därefer tog han av sig galoscherna och med
dem i nävarna hoppade han rakt in i högen och slog villt omkring
sig. Efter bara en liten stund hade de andra fått nog och tog sig
springande därifrån.
När Olle gick i pension tog svågern Anders Svensson över
verksamheten i glasmästeriet.
Olles hustru Anna levde ända in på sitt etthundra andra år och dog
i januari 1992. Hon var klar och pigg hela tiden.

Family 11

Hyvlare/Snickeriarbetare.

"Några minnen av en gammal byggnad som nu skattar åt
förgängelsen." Av Olle Lund.

Från mitt fönster ser jag en gammal byggnad, med utslagna fönster,
utrymd, inga människor bor i den och det är väl bara frångan om
vilken dag den kommer att rivas.
Denna byggnad uppfördes av körsnär Anton Staverfelt, 1912-13, som
bostad åt hans personal, som skötte hans kreatur.
Ladugårdssköterskan hette fru Nerglin. Vidare bodde i den
byggnaden Per Backlund som var den förste dödgrävaren på Östra
kyrkogården. Vidare bodde där, i en liten kammare på andra
våningen en gammal vedhuggare Vallin. Denne Vallin var ett sorts
orginal. Han gick i gårdarna och högg småved, fick lite kaffe på
de ställen där han högg ved, kostade sedan inte på sig något i
matväg utan sparade pengar och slutligen blev han sjuk, kom på
lasarettet och avled där på grund av att hans tarmkanal brustit
samman i brist på lagad mat.
När han skulle till lasarettet skulle min moder hjälpa till att
skicka iväg honom och frågade om han ej hade en ren skjorta att ta
på sig, ty den vita lärftskjorta han hade på sig var svart av
smuts men han påstod att han ej hade det och bad min mor se efter
om han ej i skrubben hade någon som var mindre lortig och hon
lyckades finna en som bara var brun av smuts. När Vallin gick här
ibland oss hade han långt svart skägg och svart hår men när min
mor på söndagen kom till lasarettet för att hälsa på Vallin satt
där en vithårig och vitskäggig gubbe i en säng och ropade på min
moder, det var Vallin, son när han blivit rengjord var precis vit
i hår och skägg. I alla fall dog han på lasarettet, där fanns
ingen hjälp för honom men när han var död efterlämnade han 37.500
kronor på en sparbanksbok och en stor kista med underkläder,
sänglinne och annat men trots detta var han tvungen att fara till
lasatettet i en smutsig skjorta. Han hade två bröder, en i Amerika
och en nån stans här uppe i landet som fick ärva honom.
Han kunde nog inte tänka sig att han skulle kunna gå ifrån alla
sina pengar. Det är ibland, som Strindberg sa: "Det är synd om
människorna".
Staverfelt slutade med kreatursskötseln i Tottänge, flyttade över
kreaturen till Tanne och Fanbyn, där han även hade
jordbruksfastigheter, och ladugården övertogs då av två bröder,
Erik och Julle (Julius) Gärdin vilka där startade en
snickeriverkstad och även övertog den ovan omnämnda byggnaden
vilken ombyggdes med två rum och kök på nedrre våningen, varest
Erik Gärdin då bodde, ty han hade rätt stor familj.
Julle var ogift, men råkade på grund av min och min flickväns,
Hulda Bergeling, medverkan, förälska sig i en av Huldas
flickvänner, Valborg Erika Pettersson, dotter till vaktmästare J.A
Pettersson på Nya Hotellet, som då var beläget på Prästgatan 38,
där nu Burmans skoaffär är belägen.
Julle och Valborgs förälskelse urartade till äktenskap och Julle
lät inreda andra våningen i nämnda byggnad till ett rum och kök.
Tänk hur väl jag minnes hur trevligt de hade det där som nygifta,
när solen sken klart över deras levnadsväg. De hade ett stort kök
och ett rum med öppen spis där vi många gånger tillbringade
stunder av, som det heter på engelska, "Cosy Joy". Ja, allt
verkade tillrättalagt för deras framtida lycka, men ödet hade nog
annat i beredskap för de unga tu.
Där föddes tre barn, Anna, Sven och Stina och familjen verkade
fulltalig när smällen kom. Verkstaden gick över styr och Julle
fick sedan jobb som hyvlare på sågen i Gärdsta, men vart sjuk i
reumatisk feber, fick hjärtförstoring och äggvita samt avled vid
39 års ålder, efterlämnade Valborg med de tre barnen, och hon fick
senare plats som städerksa på skolan i Skallböle, uppfostrade sina
barn i tukt och Herrans förmaning, men är även hon nu död och
begraven på Norra Kyrkogården, och Julle ligger på Östra
Kyrkogården. Ödet förunnade dem ej ens att ligga sida vid sida när
de två slutat sin jordevandring, som jag tror var fylld av
ömsesidig lycka trots alla deras svårigheter, men jag hoppas av
allt mitt hjärta att de återfunnit varandra på en plats där inga
sorger och bekymmer mer finnes.
Detta är skrivet till deras åminnelse när jag från mitt fönster
ser, hur deras första hem skattar åt förgängelsen.
I en stund av begrundan
vännen Olle Lund.

Carl Erik Eriksson (from family 3), born Nov 17, 1885
in Norrgård, Mattmar, dead Jan 22, 1968 in Helena, Montana, U.S.A.
Gruvägare/Snickare.

Kallades i Amerika för Charlie Erickson och hade i Montana en egen
gruva.Bodde i staden Helena, Montana.
Från Bruce Erickson är följande rader:
As a third generation member of the family of Lars, my earliest
memories about Charlie were the cards and letters received at our
home (a few with pictures) from far off Montana. Knowing that he
was mining for gold, and not burdened with the practicality that
adults must have, I suppose I imagined that if he were not yet my
rich uncle, he most certainly would be. I knew only that his first
marriage had failed, though nothing more. The next I remeber
hearing that he had maried Abbie.
In 1949, the families of Helmer, Ray and Ruth made a western
vacation trip which included a visit to Helena, Montana and
Charlie and Abbie. Charlie was then working as a carpenter. They
lived in a very modest home and it became clear to me that if
Charlie had been successful as a gold miner, he was doing a good
job of concealing his wealth. We were warmly welcomed and
entertained just as warmly. When we were taken to a mining "ghost
town", some of the realities of what his life had probably been
began to sink in to me. We also attended a real western
rodeo-cattle roping, bronco riding and all. I haave good memories
of that Erickson family reunion.
Charlie had a gregarious personality that was hard not to like. I
do not have the details of either of his marriages, nor of his
wives. As a matter of fact, I do not remeber that my father heard
of his death, which shows that communication was not a frequent
thing.

Social security number:389-07-8540 Wisconsin.
Döden inträffade kl 8:50 am.
Från sonen Bruce Erickson är följande rader:
As my father talked to me of his youth, what unfolded was the time
of many things: of walks in the woods that he loved, fishing for
brook trout, figure skating in the winter time on Lake Mary,
playing the flute(very well, we understand), the Swedish Baptist
Church (where he was a leader, thougt he did not say so). School
records which I have later seen showed him to be an exellent
student. After graduation from high school, he became an assistant
to an engineer and inventor of a revolutionary power for use in
underground mines. It was called the Armstrong Shuveloader, named
for the inventor. From this apprenticing process he learned
principles of the engineering proffession, which were to become
the foundation for him later becoming a Registrered Professional
Engineer in a engineering city- Milwaukee.

Mr. Armstrong sold his machine ant its manufacturing rights to the
Nordberg Manufacturing Company of Milwaukee and Helmer was offered
a job with them as the resident expert on the Shuveloader. It was
because of this that he moved his mother and sister to Milwaukee
in 1919. Ray sought and found work as a machinist and also moved.
I have seen letters detailing teh difficulty with which the new
owners of the Norway, Michigan home paid off the purchase price,
which today seems such a modest amount.

Eventually the Nordberg Manufacturing Company gave up plans to
market the shuveloader, but helmer became involved in the
development of railroad maintenance of way machines. Over a career
of some 43 years, he would be assigned some 13 United States
patents (chich became the property of his company) and would serve
as the Chief Engineer of his division.
No less demanding nor less productive was the service Helmer gave
to his church, the Bay View Baptist Church. As Church School
Superintendent for 32 years, he would be named Superintendent
Emeritus and held many other voluntary posts as well. It was thus
that he carried the heritage of faith with great conviction and
effectiveness for all of his almost 75 year life span. In spite of
his very busy schedule, he found time to be an exemplary father
and husband.
Shortly after Helmer`s marriage to a Baptist missionary, Constance
Garness, and my birth in 1928, the Great Depression (which
certainly was not so great) struck the Unitet States. Added to
this, Constance Jean was born to them in 1932. Connie Jean was
born with congenital heart malformation as well as other health
problems. For the 27 years of Connie Jean`s life, this would add
many responsibilities for Helmer and Constance which they bore
willingly. This, however, did not keep them from working long
hours at the officeparticularly when young men had gone to war and
essential defense factories such as Nordberg were so important. He
would continue to work in engineering until he was 72 years old.

Because of the fact Helmer had been forced to become the family
leader upon the death of father Lars, ruth looked to him as a
father figure. Thus there was a strong bond between them that they
nurtured throughout their lives.
By personality, Helmer was quiet, not particularly given to "small
talk" and rather always planning something important. He was a man
of many talents which he carried without seeming pride: among them
an inventivness; athletic ability; a strong, serious, and deeply
principled mind; a love of music: a taste for fine things that he
could not always stisfy given the difficult times he experienced;
and a sense of responsibility and duty that did not often leave
time for self-serving pursuits. Given the fact of his late life
marriage and the inevitiable gap between our ages, it is even more
a tribute to his skills as a father that I thought of him as my
best friend. I would not be flattered but I would be comforted to
know that he felt the same way about our relationship.

In many ways, Ray and Helmer shared traits: a strong and quiet
sense of responsibility, strong mechanical skills, a love of music
and of nature, a taste for things of quality, a sense of duty to
his church, and a selfless willingness to share with those that he
loved. Because of the fathering role that they were because of
their father`s death, they were the closest of the Erickson
siblings. There were also ways that they were not alike. Ray had a
greater sense of mirth, was not driven to positions of leadership
in organizations, did not share Helmer's love of things acedemic,
and found more time to take vacations or just "go fishing".
Ray was for many years a Maintenance Foreman at the Wrought Washer
Manufacturing Company in Milwaukee. As such he was respnsible for
ensuring that the metal stamping machinery was always in first
class operating condition. Like Helmer Ray was a perfectionist.
In 1937 Ray married Dagmar Garness, a sister of Helmer`s wife,
Constance. They did not hav any children, but in a sense, became a
second set of parents to the writer, and to Connie Jean. They
would be married until 1958 when he succumbed to a form of cancer
that is thought to be similar to that which took his mother. At
the time of this writing, Dagmar is still alive and living in
North Dakota, from which she had come and to which she returned
after Ray`s death. She is 95 years old, currently. (1995)

in Norway, Michigan, U.S.A, dead Oct 3, 1964 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

Från Bruce Erickson är följande rader:
Of all of the children of Lars, Tony had the greatest focus during
his life on music. Starting in early adulthood as a traveling jazz
musician, Tony and father Lars did not agree that this new form of
music was proper as the hymns of the Swedish Church. He would
later go on to secure formal education and become a music
educator. In this he had significanat success and recognition.
That is not to say that he did not have other skills, for he built
two homes for his family (one in Milwaukee and a vacation home on
the border between Wisconsin and Upper Michigan- in fact very
close to where he had been born).
Tony seemed to have the natural ability to play many instruments
and the sense of "showmanship" that first made him a perfomer and,
in later years, present his students so well in competition that
they would win first prizes and accolades. In recognition of this,
he would become a supervisor of music teachers in the Milwaukee
County area. He had just retired and moved to his vacation home
with his wife Eleanor, when his life was ended by heart disease,
with resultant kidney failure. Helmer, his brother, succumbed in a
similar way.
Tony and Eleanor had three children, only one of whom is alive
today - Nancy Erickson Kloppenburg. Ruth, the oldest succumbed to
pancreatic cancer but is survived by two daughteers. Robert, the
second oldest, inherited his father`s great gift for music and
was, in fact, also a jazz musician, as well as a very skilled
piano tuner and technician-showing the unique combination of the
mechanical and performance skills. Robert is survived by one son,
also named Robert. Nancy and her husband have one sone, Scott.

Family 16

Ruth Aurora Ulrika Erickson (from family 3),
born Feb 17, 1902 in Norway, Michigan, U.S.A, dead Nov 4, 1989
in Rockford, Illinois, U.S.A.

Från Bruce Erickson kommer följande rader:
Ruth, who started out life as the smallest (you will remember the
she was called a "shoebox baby") ended life with the longest name.
She undoubtedly inherited her mother`s gracious personality.
Trained as a teacher before marriage to Robert Peterson, she would
return to it as a kindergarten teacher after her daughters were
judged to be "old enough". She had the unique way of a child to
find all new things interesting and never lost that zest until at
the very last of her life. Then, what was likely Alzheimer`s
Disease robbed her of memory and connection with the family that
she loved. Her fist husband, Robert or Bob as we knew him, was
also gracious and a perfect complement to Ruth.

After Bob died, as they had entered retirement, Ruth moved from
Chicago, where Bob had been involved in the insurance industry, to
a retirement community in Boca Raton, Florida. It was there she
met a widower, Malcolm Salmond, whom she later married. After some
happy and productive years, he was disease, but would precede her
in death. Ruth was subsequently moved by her children Betty and
Carol to a retirement facility in Rockford, Illinois where she
would ultimately die.
Bothe of Ruth`s daughters survive her at this writing. Carol, the
older, lives with her husband Carl in South Carolina. They have
three children, two of whom are married and one of whom has
children. Betty, who has four children from her marriage to
Norman, was to lose him to cancer when he was but 39. She has
remarried and now lives with husband Whitfield Hughes in a suburb
of Chicago.

From Her daughters Carol and Betty:
Remebrances of Ruth A.Salmond (1902-1989)

February 17, 1902 Ruth was born in norway, Michigan and her mother
and father, Christina and Lars Erickson, were delighted to have
thir first daughter, after rearing 4 boys, Charles, Helmer,
Raymond and Anthony. Yet all was not well - as Ruth weighed only 2
lbs. 2 ozs. - and the incubator was not yet invented. Howewer, our
Mother was destinet to live and go on to positiverly influence the
lives of people around her. She was wonderfully brave in birth, as
she was later in death.

Mother had good memories of her early childhood. She must have
been a princess, adored and protected by her 4 brothers. They
called her "Toots", and if she lingered too long at the garden
gate, one of them would call from the house, "Its time to come in
now Toots". There was a great difference in the ages of the
children, but their stedfast faith in God and love of music was a
great denominator. The family attended the Baptist church wich
delivered sermons in Swedish. Not to worry, Christina and Lars
were born in Sweden, (where Lars was a Railroad Inspector), and
when they came to America with their fist 2 boys, Swedish
continued to be spoken in teir home.
Eventually, all 5 children spoke the language fluently. Perhaps
because Norway was such a small town, their church and its
activities became their activities. All the children sang in the
choir and this poured back into their h om-life. This comofortable
picture changed when her brother Charlie moved to Montana to seek
his fortune in gold - he never returned. Her father, Lars,
traveled to Texas to start a citrus ranch intending to later send
for his family - however, he died in a ship-yard fire where he was
temporarily employed. Ruth`s mother worked hard at home on a
knitting machine specializing in large size sweaters because they
were not available at the stores. With the older boys helping out,
they managed. One of Mother`s favorite memories was playing the
piano while Helmer played the flute, Ray the mandoline and Tony
the violin. In the winter they would open wide the windows to
provide music for the towns people who were skating on the frozen
pnd at the bottom of their property. In the summer Ruthie was
often found up in an apple tree reading a book, and most likely
her two little fingers would be poked into each cheek encouraging
those fashionable dimples to appear. She also remembers her mother
rising early to go out to the barn to milk their cow - her collie
dog following close behind.

The years passed and one Saturday afternoon, when Ruthie was in
high school, her school basketball team invited Crystal Falls High
School for a scheduled game. During the game Mother and her girl
friends talked about the big guy from Crystal Falls who was
clearly dominating the game. Norway High School of course lost the
game, but as was the tradition, a dance was held in the gymnasium
that evening. The dance was almost over when "that big guy" asked
Ruthie to dance...
During that dance she thought her heart would stop. That was, of
course, our father Robert Peterson.

Her brother Helmer moved to Milwaukee and a year later, in 1920,
then Ray, Tony, Ruth and her mother followed. Thanks to her
brother`s savings Ruth went to college for 2 years to become an
early elementary school teacher. Meanwhile, Bob Peterson, after
going to the University of Wisconsin for 2 years and finding a job
i Chicago, began to seriously court Ruth; they were married June
16, 1927. Later that same year her mother died and Ruth lost one
of her very best friends, she was devastared. Fortunately, a new
husband and new home in Chicago helped her withstand her loss.

Ruth and Bob first lived on Paulina Street in Chicago and Carol
was born in 1930. Two years later they moved to 3949 N. Winchester
where they lived for the next 23 years. Before Betty was born in
1933, Mother lost a son during pregnancy.

Until 1941, when mother went to work, she was, constantly
available to nurture and help mold us into who we are today. Her
gentle nature wouldn`t allow her to spank or yell at two naughty
girls. Instead, she would hold our hands, (to keep our attention),
sit us down toghether and tell us a story about Mary Lou and
Susanna Sue. Those stories held strong moral implications and we
somehow knew we had been corrected when the story was over. We
must have been very naughty because there were many. many stroies!


By nature mother was a happy person with a good sense of humor and
she loved to throw back her head and laugh. We remember sneaking
under the dining room table to sit and watch our parents play
pinochle with another couple and listen to mother giggle like a
little girl. (She knew we were there too!) Her lessons to us were
often taught by example, she and our faather never ever, not even
once, gossiped or said an unkind work about another individual.
Hmmm, perhaps we should rethink that, Mother and Dad often spoke
Swedish to one another and were careful not to teach the language
to us! But I doubt - even in Swedish - that thei said anything
unkind. Mother always gave selflessly, putting herself last. We
remember trips downtown on the elevated when we would be
emarrassed bacause she talked to anyone near her. One day I asked
why she whistled or sang while scrubbing the kitchen floor,
ironing, or canning and she said it was a privilege to feel good
enough to work. Wow, she actually belived that.

Creativity was encouraged and work was part of a game. Each night,
after dinner, we would either sing in 3-part harmony or Mother
would creat the beginning of a story. She would stop for Carol to
take over, then Carol would stop aand Betty would continue the
story, and over and over we would go while the dishes were washed,
dried, put away; stove polished; sink scrubbed and we still didn`t
want the story to end. The long trops to Crystal Falls, Michigan
every summer were shortened by games mother would start. (Years
later when we were married and our children became antsy at the
dinner table Mother would take them onto the enclosed porch, off
the dining room, and tell them a story. Often, a husch eould fall
over the "adult" table and always, during the finale, the adults
would lend an ear!) Bothe of us took piano lessons and I remember
- as if it were yesterday - Mother sitting at the kitchen table
sewing while we practiced. When we hit a wrong note she might
raise her woice and say "B flat, not B natural" and we would be
back on track. Sometimes we would come home from high school half
singing/ half humming a new tune and Mother would sit down at the
piano and play the tune start to finish with all the harmony to
accompany the melody. Mother made music a joy when she sat down to
play, especially singable music, and she continued to love and
appreciate good music all her life. Her special feeling for music
was felt trhoughout her body because she and Dad won 1st place at
a dance contest. They were playing a waltz and the song was
"Always" which became their song.

Many Ruthieisms will be passed on down through the generations
but our favorites is, "Put a smile on your face and no one will
notice your old shoes".

Probably Mother`s most memorable attribute was her christian
faith. She belived in our Lord with strong conviction. She thanked
Him daily for her blessings, naming them one by one. Not only did
she keep Sunday holy, but she was faithful servant 7 days a week.
We were taught value of prayer, and the moral reasoning for good
decisions. Mother saw only good in others, they were certainly a
reflection of God.

Have we drawn a perfect picture? Well of course she wasn`t
perfect, but everything in this eulogy is accurate. If she had a
fault maybe it was carrying martrydom too far, but she never ever
complained. Or perhaps her indecisive way of giving her opinion
when asked, because she didn`t want to hurt anyone`s feelings.

To back-track a little, in 1941 Mother went back to work after her
marriage to Bob. Her youngest daughter was 3rd grade when she
began working for Sears Roebucks. She worked there until she
decided she wanted to return to teaching school. An additional 2
years of Education classes were required in order for her to teach
in Illinois. She began a correspondence course of study in 1948
trough a teacher`s college in Chicago called Pestolotzie Froble.
Her first teaching job was in a small 2 room school house on the
corner of Irving Park and Wolf Road, which was out in the country
then, she had grades 1-4. We almost lost Mother there when Dad
found her passed out on the floor one day after school. He rushed
her to the hospital where they pumped her stomach. The doctor said
it was food poisoning and she was near death. A few years later
she left the Irving and Wolf School, and road a train twice a day
to teach in Villa Park. Here she had a single grade and it was
worth te long trip. Her last teaching assignment in Skokie was
even better where she taught a 1st grade class. She taught in
Skokie until her retirement at age 63. Ruth was a very good
teacher and in demand by former parents of her studenst who had a
2nd or 3rd child entering the first grade. Her strrength was
English and her children left the year with strong writing
skills. Mother developed a dictionary of words most frequently
used by 1st graders and wi`ve never heard of another dictionary of
this kind since. Unfortunately, it disappeared and has never been
found. Mother never repeated the same lessons 2 years in a row for
fear she would become stale and uninteresting, so she worked very
hard every year. In fact, it`s fair to say she never shirked from
any work.

While teaching in Skokie in 1955, Mother and Dad moved into their
very first hom in Edgebrook at 6767 Jean Ave. Then, in 1962,
Mother finally retired and Dad retired two years later. It was
during these 2 short years together after retirement that Mother`s
sense of humor was most evident. Unfortunately, Dad died on
November 21, 1968.

After a brief setback, Mother took up driving. Her daughters
moaned, but that never daunted her. Two years later Mother and her
friend Fran Smith drove across country to Florida and from then on
Ruthie was hooked. Her dream was to roam the beaches to collect
shells to make shell pictures, and also to write a book. She never
made a shell picture or wrote a book, but she did enjoy the ocean
and beach.

In Florida, Mohter established a church home at Crist United
Methodist. She found a dear man in her adult study class who kept
catching her eye, but there was no communication. Never fear, she
never lost that Ruthie Erickson flirtatiousness. Taking matters in
her own hands she approached the gentleman, introduced herself,
feigned a need for a creative helpful man to solve the problem she
was having with her glove compartment of her car. (Can`t you hear
Mack say "car" in his Bostonian accent?) His name was Malcolm G.
Salmond and he said he would be delighted to help her, and that
was the beginning of a beautiful relationschip that lasted until
Mac died in 1985.

Mother and Mac were narried February 1. 1974 with their church
family around them. For the next 11 years they lived in 3
residences, traveled to Hawaii, Germany, Switzerland, Italy,
France, England, The Canary Islands, Canada, Japan and Malasia. By
1984 Mac ralized his dear wife was mentally slipping rapidly. He
began to make arrangements for the two of them to move to a full
retirement facility for her protection in case something happened
to him. In September, 1984, they moved into Edgewater Pointe
Estates, Boca Raton, Florida. They loved their condominium with
its screaned-in porch, but Mac was not to enjoy it for even one
year. The following April 15, 1985, Mac passed away. Mother was
alone again, and this time with her mental regression, her
imagination worked overtime.

We do not wish to concentrate on this part of her life, our mother
became a changed person. We brought her back to Illinois where one
of us could spend time withe her once a week. Wesley Willows
Health Center in Rockford was the best home we could find for her,
she moved there in November, 1986. At one point Mother`s
personality changed som much that she caused friction for the
staff as well as for us and through prayer and deseration Carol
claimed Philippians 4:7 for our Mother. "If you do this you will
experience God`s peace, which is far more wonderful than the human
mind can understand. His peace will keep your thoughts and your
hearts quiet and at rest as you trust in Christ Jesus". (The vers
before says, "don`t worry about anything; tell God your needs and
don`t forget to tank Him for His answers.") God answered that
prayer with His grace and love; Mother became content.

Not ony have we been blessed by her shining example, but you have
been too because she lives in all of you. Praise the Lord, she was
released from her body November 4. 1989 to live throughout all
eternity.

From Park Rapids Enterprise
Date: Oct. 14, 1954.
By Keith Rogers

J.D Haradon, 83, died at his home on Riverside avenue early
Thursday, Oct. 7, following several weeks illness. He submitted to
surgery in Dulut early in September and returned home two weeks
later.
Surviving are his wife, Ruth; his son, Horace, Duluth; two
daughters, Florence G. Haradon, nurce at the state sanatorium at
Ah-Gwen_Ching, and Mrs Gordon (Arvilla B.) Mueller, Milwaukee,
Wisconsin; three grandchildren - Gene, Cynthia and Marsha Mueller;
a brother, Clarence, Lake City, Minn., and a sister, Mae Jimerson,
Corning, N.Y.
During his half-century of residence in Park Rapids, Mr. Haradon
played an important role in the life and development of the
community.
Comming here in 1903 from Madison, Minnesota, where he had
published the Western Guard for eight years, he purchased a half
interest in the Park Rapids Enterprise from H.R.Cobb and a year
later became sole owner and publisher.
In 1921 he formed a partnership with Keith Rogers, which continued
until 1944, when he sold his interest in the business and retired.
Soon thereafter he was elected justice of the peace, an office he
held to the time of his death.
An ardent sportsman and conservationist, Mr. Haradon was a leader
in efforts to preserve and improve hunting and fishing conditions
in this area, and it was largely through his initiative and
endeavors that a state fish hatchery and rearing ponds were
established here. For many years he headed the consservation
committree of the Civic and Commerce association, and was one of
the founders and officers of the Park Rapids Rod and Gun club.

From 1912 to 1916 he was postmaster, and at various other times
served on the board of education. He was also president of the
Shell Praires Agricultural association for several terms. He was a
member of the First Baptist church and active in its affairs over
a long period of years as a trustee and teacher of a young men`s
class in the Sunday School.
As a printer, he was a meticulous craftsman, and as a newspaper
editor he was fearless in his espousal of causes he believed best
in the public interst. In particular he championed prohibition and

From a newspaper:

DAUGHTER RETURNS FOR REUNION

FORMER PUBLISHER REMEMBERED

By Lu Ann Hurd-Lof

Arvilla (Haradon) Mueller attended las weekend`s All School
Reunion, returning to Park Rapids for the first time since 1972.
Her father, J.D. Haradon, was publisher of the Enterprise for 40
years before he retired in 1944.
Mueller said her memories of the Enterprise begin during the
1930s, the Deprression years. Most people paid with produce, eggs,
canned food and the like. "So we had plenty of food," she recalls.

Her description of her father was of a friendly, warm hearted man,
who held the area`s natural resources in high regard and loved to
write.
Haradon`s ancestors were English and his family had come to United
States in the 1700s, his daughter said. His name was Jessie
Daniel, but he was known as "J.D." He was born in Iowa and came to
Minnesota in his youth. For a few years he taught in a country
school, then learned the printing trade at Wabasha. Later he
published the Western Guard in Madison, Mn, for eight years.
He went into partnership with Henry R. Cobb, the newspaper`s first
publisher in 1903. In 1904 Haradon bought Cobb out. He was sole
owner until April 1921, when Keith Rogers, who had worked for 11
years at the Enterprise, came into partnership with Haradon.
Haradon sold out his interest to Rogers Dec. 28, 1944 but
continued to write years after he retired.
The Enterprise was located behind where the post office is now.
Mueller recalls that during the days when people "spent" food
instead of currency, one advertiser left a live calf. Her fahter
tied it up in the alley in back of the newspaper office and after
work went back and butchered it.
Their home was on Riverside Avenue but they also had a cabin on
Long Lake and spent summers there. "It seems like he spent every
evening fishing," she remembers, now considering it was as much
for fish to eat as for pleasure, although he certainly was a
fishing enthusiast.
Her fahter was known as an "ardent sportsman and conservationist"
and is credited with supplying the initiative to locate the state
fish hatchery and rearing ponds in Park Rapids.
He also was a founder and officer of the Park Rapids Rod and Gun
Club. (Mueller remembers her mother referred to it as the 'Rotten
Gun Clob'because he spent so much time involved in its
activities.) One of those projects was to stock pheasants in hopes
they would inhabit the area.
Mueller isn`t certain how he acquired them, but recalls her father
owned several farms, and they spent many Sundays going to visit
them in all directions.
During the Depression he lost som of the farms. He sold one for
wood so for quite a few years the owner delivered wood every fall
for payment. Another one he gave away to a woman whose husband
died.
Nearly wvery day after school, Mueller enjoyed going to the
newspapeer office to visit her father. He always had candy in his
desk drawer. That was a treat because her mother wouldn`t let her
eat it at home.
He wore a suit to work every day and, of course, to the First
Baptist Church on Sundays. Mueller said her father carried raisins
in a suit pocket for her to nibble during the service, again to
her mother`s distress since they were loose and her mother didn`t
like the thought of her eating them lint and all.
Mueller was the only child from Haradon`s wife Ruth. Haradon`s
first wife died and he had had two children from that marriage.
His daughter, Florence, who at one time was a nurse at the then
state sanatorium at Ah-Gwah-Ching, is now 89 and lives in Seattle,
Mueller reports.
Sometime after Rogers became Haradon`s partner in the business,
the newspaper office burned. They purchased the building which is
now the Ben Franklin on Main street and never missed a deadline.
The parners continued to publish from the building and in later
years the Haradons lived above the business.
Besides his love for fishing and hunting, Haradon was involved in
civic affairs, serving on the Civic and Commerce association,
teaching Sunday School and serving several terms as president of
the Shell Praireie Agricultural Association (the fair board).
Mueller recalls he did a lot of gardening and took great pride in
trying to raise the biggest dahlias.
The publisher`s daughter said she always read the newspaper and
that her father loved to write. He left her four-line verses as
notes around the house with chores to be done or the like.
"Is the Journal around andy more?" she inwuired. She learned that
the "other" local newspaper was sold to the Enterprise in 1951 and
discontinued. "It would please hem," she said, observing he would
have known that before he died in 1954. That seemed to please her.

In fact, Haradon kept working even after he was retired writing
for the paper until he was 76. He also was justice of the peace
for time after he retired.
Haradon was going blind and lost his sight a few months before he
died at age 83.
After she graduated from Park Rapids High School in 1940, Mueller
went to college at Wheaton for one year, then to the University of
Minnesota for a year and a half, but quit and got married. She
went to the Panama Canal Zone with her husband, Gordon, for two
years. When they came back he got work in the Milwaukee area where
they have lived since.
They had four children, a son who has lapidary store, two
daughters who both work for him and another son who is a reserch
scinentist in mathematics in the computer field at hte University
of Utah.
Out of the great-grandchildren of the veteran newspaper man there
is one who is currently attending college and is intersted in
writing. "She is the only one who seems to have come away with his
talents," Mueller said, noting that she is going into teaching not
journalism, however.
Asked what Haradon would have thought of a female editor at the
newspaper, Mueller says, "Not much. He didn`t like his women to be
working."
Mueller, though, did get a job with Dr. W. Higgs and worked in his
office between her junior and senior year in high school. After
her children were grown she started a Christian book store and had
it for 10 years, selling it when her husband retired.
Of course, besides his daughter`s memories, the Enterprise tells
the story of Haradon`s work.
In Haradon`s obituari, his long time partner, Keith Rogers, wrote,
"As a printer, he was a meticulous craftsman, and as a newspaper
editor he was fearless in his espousal of causes he belived best
in the public interest. In particular he championed prohibition
and attacked graft in public office."
When he retired Haradon himself observed, "I have seen Park Rapids
pass from the conditons of the lubmering and sawmill town, with
its plank sidewalks and muddy streets, its hitching posts and
numerous saloons, to become one of the cleanest and most
progressive cities in northern Minnesota."

Robert Theodore Erikson (from family 6),
born July 3, 1893 in Chicago, Illinois, dead March 4, 1976. Juvelerare.

Begravd i Chicago.
Från dottern Muriel kommer följande rader:
Robert Erikson was born i Chicago, Illinois on the 3rd of July
1893. His folks, Erik and Selma Erikson lived on Oak Stret. When
Dad was 6 years old he fell on a wooden sidewalk, hitting his knee
on a rusty nail. Water on the knee developed, and he had to have
the patella bone removed from his left knee, leaving his leg
stiff. Shortly after that they moved to Park Rapids, Minnesota
because of his Dad`s poor health. In 1900 while they were living
in a parsonage in Norway, Michgan his brother Fred was born. In
1905 they moved back to Park Rapids, Minnesota and his father died
there of Tuberculosis. Erik is buried in Park Rapids. After his
death the family moved back to Chicago, moving in with Selma`s
father, August Danielson, living at 319 Orleans Street. Dad was
only 12 years old, but he had to drop out of school and support
the family. His first job was with Montgomery Ward in the shipping
department. Later he worked for the Boston Store. He then got a
job with a diamond dealer next door to the Boston Store. This
started him on his career as a watchmaker, learning his trade on
the job in the following stores. Charles Graves, Peacocks,
Forstrom & Ericksons, and Leoboldt`s.
In 1912 Dad accepted the Lord as his Savior, and joined the First
Baptist Church, now called Addison Street Baptist Church.
Elsie Marie Liedstrand lived at 3619 Herndon Street, now called
Lakewood. Dad lived across the street. They both attended Addison
St. Bapist Church. On 18 June, 1921 they were married at Mom`s
home, and lived with her folks the first year. They moved to a
second floor apartment at 3604 Maple Square, now called Magnolia
Avenue. This was a building owned by Addison Street Baptist
Church, and was next door to the church. Muriel Arvilla was born
at Ravenswood Hospital August 23, 1924, while they lived there.
May 1, 1927 we moved to a four room apartment at 2206 Winnemac Av.
on the third floor. We later moved down to the 2nd floor, then
later to a five room apartment at 2210 Winnemac Av. on the 2nd
floor. They lived there until after I got married. My grandfater,
Alfred Emil Liedstrand came to live with us after grandmother
Pauline died 28 July, 1935 and lived with us for nine years.
Dad worked for The Fair Store as a watchmaker for 24 years, until
they closed their Watchrepair section, just a few years before he
would have retired. He lost his pension when they closed the
Department. He then went to work for Olson Ebann Jewelry Store in
Evanston, and worked there until they sold out to Zale jewlry.
Zale was a much lower grade store and he couldn`t make enough
money with them, so he went to Helge Erickson`s Jewelry store on
Clark Street, and stayed with them until he retired at 75 years of
age. In July of 1975 Dad had surgery on his Prostate, and they
found he had Cancer of the bladder. After he was released from the
hospital in August, he and Mom moved in whit us at 1414 Eastwood,
Highland Park, and stayed with us until Dad died 4 March 1976. He
is buried at Ridgewood Cemetery in DesPlaines, Illinois, Section

Ellen Linnèa Blomgren (from family 7), born Nov 21, 1893
in Norway, Michigan, U.S.A, dead Sept 16, 1985 in Wisconsin, Spread Eagle.
Musiklärare.

From the son Robert:
Biography on Ellen Linnèa Blomgren:
My mother was born and raised in Norway, Michigan. An area where
many Scandinavians migrated because of the climate and work
opportunities that were much like home. Coming from a family that
belived that education created opportunity, she earned a life
teaching certificate at Northern Michigan Normal College in
Marquette, Michigan. Having studied music and music theory she
secured a teaching position at Eastern Michigan Normal College in
Ypsilanti, Michigan. There, she met her future husband, my father,
Samuel Robert Luscombe, who as a student of hers, fell in love
with his teacher and married her. I hope he received a passing
grade after all that effort. Side note of interest. My wife`s
mother, Eva Marie Curtis, was also in this class, knew my father
and became a music and art teacher in Royal Oak, Michigan, a
suburb just north of Detroit.

After heir marriage they both taught school in the Detroit school
system and both were involved in music and music education. My
mother`s fine voice and musical background earned her a job with
the Ford Sunday Evening Hour music chorus, whose programs were
broadcast from the Fort Rotunda in Dearborn, Michigan.

Mother was also known for her gourmet cooking abilities. She loved
entertaining both her friends and the friends of her children,
many of whom still talk of the feasts they were privileged to be a
part of. Probably her greatest passion was the traditional Swedish
dinner she prepared each year for family and friends. It didn`t
make any difference whether she was in Michigan of Florida,
Christmas dinner was a sacred and special occasion.
For almost ten days she prepared her (please excuse the spellings)

tinbread (thin-bread, clap-bread, in Swedish: Tunnbröd)
potatoscorb, lutfisk, cookies, cakes, puddings, sauces and other
specialities too numerous to mention. It took many hours and most
of the dishes in the house to prepare and present the many courses
served at these meals. The clean-up even longer, but the memories
will never fade.
While raising a family and until retirement, she did substitute
and permanent teaching in both music and library science in
Detroit schools. After retiring she and my fahter traveled to
Spain, Mexico and Hawaii.
In their latter years they spent their winters in Florida and
their summers at her beloved Spread Eagle, Wisconsin lake home, on
the same land her father had built a cottage in the early 1900`s
and where she died in 1985.

My father was born and spent his early years in Centerville,
Michigan. After my father`s father died, his mother took he and
his sister, Ruth Maria to Ypsilanti, Michigan to attend high
school from Eastern Michgan Normal Collage.
He earned his Bchelor and Mster of Arts degrees in music at Wayne
State University and the Detroit Conservatory of Music and became
department head of the Fine Arts Departments of Mackenzie and Ford
High Schools. He was a highly respected and honored teacher,
director and baritone soloist. He taught instrumental and vocal
music in Detroit high schools for 38 years, gave private voice
lessons, sang over radio station WJR, the First Church of
Christian Science, for hundreds of weddings and funerals, directed
male and female choruses and the Norway Michigan Concert Band.
As you may surmise, he loved his music and was loved for his
musical abilities.

In 1986, he was married to his second wife, Margaret Hackworth,
whom he had met in Bradenton, Florida. The Spread Eagle, Wisconsin
summer home was sold in 1988 and they stayed in Bradenton, Florida
for two years before moving to Charlotte, North Carolina, where he
died in 1993.

Ellen Linnèa Blomgren is buried at Centreville, Michigan and so is
also her husband Samuel Robert Luscombe.

A notice from a newspaper:

Karl Olov Gärdin (from family 9), born Dec 25, 1903
in Böle,Ytterån, Alsen Z, dead May 6, 1996 in Gånghester, Toarp.
Maskinsnickare in Gånghester, Toarp P.

Kl 10:10 den 6 Maj 1996 slutade Kalle sina dagar på Borås
Lasarett.
Under en tid har han haft värk i ryggen. På söndagen den 5 maj var
de i kyrkan i Gånghester, där sjöng de hans favorit psalmer och
gick till nattvardsgång. Eva och Anders var med. På vägen hem
kände han illammående och de fick stanna och vila. Senare på
kvällen fick han smärtor i ryggen och de fick ta ambulans till
Borås. Där konstaterades att han hade ett stort bråck på
kroppspulsådern som läckte. När jag, Karl-Olov med familj kom in
var han vid gott mod men dåsig pga morfin. När sköterskorna kom
för att rätta till sängen sa han: "Jag kan gå upp så går det
lättare för er."
In i det sista var han "sig själv" och fullständigt trygg.
Vid ronden den 6 maj jämrade han sig i sömnen och läkarna ökade
morfindosen. 10:10 fick han en uppstötning och sedan var det över.

Hammarslagen har tystnat på Berghov men hans verk och sång lever
vidare i våra hjärtan.
Begravningen hölls i Gånghesters kyrka den 17 maj. Kyrkan var i
det närmaste fullsatt och en mycket fin predikan hölls av Doris
Nygård. När familjen samlades runt kistan för att ta farväl sjöng
vi sista versen på "En vänlig grönskas rika dräkt" versen börjar
med orden "Då må förblekna sommarns glans".
Därefter bars kistan ut av Marcus, Anders, Martin, Simon samt två
vaktmästare/kyrkvärdar och vi körde i kortege till
begravningsplatsen i vid Toarps kyrka, högt belägen bland stora
furor. En vacker plats. Därefter samlades vi i församlingshemmet
till en enkel måltid. Flera fina tal hölls och manskören som pappa
varit med i sjöng. Till sist avslutade jag, Kalle med att hålla
ett tacktal till alla som deltagit. En fin och högtidsfull dag.

Erik Wilhelm Gärdin (from family 9), born Jan 25, 1912
in Odenslund, Östersund, dead May 15, 1996 in Ytterån, Näskott. Hyvlare
in Ytterån, Näskott.

Erik avled kl 22:20 på lasarettet i Östersund.
Hjärtat orkade ej längre.
Erik dog en och en halv vecka efter sin bror Karl och Erik sade
när Karl dog att han hade önskat att han och Karl skulle få åldras
tillsammans. De ringde varandra varje söndagskväll och skrattade
alltid och hade roligt tillsammans. Nu är de åter tillsammans.

Eric var en "mysig" man med skrattet nära till hands och många
roliga kommentarer.
Liksom sin far och sina bröder hade Eric pga starr eller skada
blivit enögd. Dessutom hade han liksom sin bror Karl, hörapparat.
Något år innan han avled förlorade han en höst sin hörapparat.
När snön smälte våren därpå hittade sonen Sven-Uno den ute i
trädgårdslandet varpå Erik kommenterade: "Undrar vad den har legat
och hört".
Vid ett annat tillfälle när han höll på och städa och Sven-Uno kom
in påtalade Eric sin dåliga syn med tillägget: "Jag kanske står
och putsar på en fläck som inte finns!"

Från Östersunds-Posten, Maj 22, 1996:

Erik Wilhelm Gärdin, Ytterån, har avlidit vid 84 års ålder.
Han föddes i Odenslund, Östersund och växte upp tillsammans med
sex syskon. På fädernet härstammade han från Höla i Hallen och i
Storsjöbygden fick han sluta sin livsgärning efter ett strävsamt
liv med många av sina verksamma år förlagda till orter söderut i
landet.
Som 11 åring flyttade han 1923 med sin familj till Ytterån, där
han avslutade sin skolgång. Där kom han också ut i arbetslivet som
biträde åt fadern som var hyvelmästare vid Ångsågen. Erik Gärdins
ungdomstid var fylld av mycket sång och musik. Hela familjen var
verksam inom baptistförsamlingen och många sångarresor runt om i
de jämtländska bygderna företogs under dessa år. Eftersom
arbetsbristen var stor vid sågarna i Storsjöbygden i slutet av
1930-talet, sökte sig Erik Gärdin söderut och kom till Gånghester
utanför Borås 1939. Året därpå vigdes han med Doris Carlsson från
Åseda, Kronobergs län och i Borås föddes två söner. Efter tio år i
Västergötland bosatte sig familjen 1949 i Ytterån där den dotter
föddes. Efter ytterligare 3 år gick flyttlasset söderut, nu till
Småland och Nässjö. Kontakterna med hembygden bibehölls genom den
årliga semestervistelsen i familjens stuga i Ytterån. I Nässjö var
Erik Gärdin verksam vid HSB:s industrier som hyvlare och snickare
fram till sin pensionering. Han blev änkeman 1972 och några år
efter pensioneringen flyttade han hem till Jämtland. Efter en tid
på Frösön startade han 1985 ombyggnad av sin styga i Ytterån till
bostad för sig själv och där kunde han sedan ha sitt hem under de
tio sista åren av sin levnad.
Erik Gärdins stora intresse var sång och musik. Förutom i Ytterån
verkade han också aktivt inom Borås och Nässjö
baptistförsamlingar. Han fann stor glädje i att skapa genom att
bygga och snickra även som hobby. Hans omtanke om familj och släkt
var mycket stor och många vänner och arbetskamrater uppehöll in i
det sista fasta kontakter med honom.
Ett annat stort glädjeämne var de längre resor som han fick
genomföra efter sin pensionering. Trots tilltagande krämpor var
han verksam till slutet. En varm och generös jämte med ett ljust
och öppet sinne har lämnat barn, barnbarn och barnbarnsbarn. Han
sörjes av barnen Bengt-Eric, Ytterån, Sven-Uno, Östersund, och
Birgit Käll, Linköping samt deras familjer, övrig släkt och
vänner.

och läkarna kunde inte operera enär den spridit sig och de gav
honom 1/2 till 1 år kvar att leva. Det blev ett halvt år.
