Im trying to trace descendants of Lars Johan Wilhelm Karlsson, born August
12, 1846 in Lonneberga (or Ulfuadahl), Sweden, died June 16 (6?), 1913 in
Valparaiso, Nebr. On March 27, 1878 married Emma Matilda Johansdotter, born
February 18, 1857 in the parish of Ingatorp, died November 18, 1918 in
Raymond, Lancaster County, Nebraska. The first three of their seven
children were born in Hassleby -- Johan Albert on Sept. 16, 1879, Karl Emil
Wilhelm on Dec. 7, 1881, and Oskar David Karlsson, on April 4, 1884.
The Carlson family arrived in America from Sweden on April 21, 1887.
During the winter of 1887-88, the family took up residence in Malmo,
Nebraska. From 1888 through 1897, they lived at Raymond, Nebraska and from
1898 to 1900, on a farm (near Raymond?). In 1901 they moved to Valparaiso,
Nebraska.
The last three of Lars and Emma Carlson's children were born in Raymond,
Nebraska, Lancaster County. Martin Paul was born on March 24, 1890. Emma
Augusta Sexcelia was born on May 9, 1892, and Susie Mitilda Octilia on Sept.
28, 1897.
I am interested in learning more about any members of this family. I am
particularly interested in Martin Paul Carlson, who homesteaded first near
Fort Pierre, South Dakota, then homesteaded near Gillette Wyoming in 1915,
and later moved back near Presho, SD in 1920. He married Lucille J. Gigg
(October 16,1919?) and died on August 26, 1973, in Raymond, Nebraska.
Al Carlson
