August Yngve Karlsson or Carlson owned Augie's Resort on the lower end of Leech Lake
in northern Minnesota in the 40s. His wife is reported to be Mettie Meredith and at that
same time they had a little country store on their property in which they sold fabrics and
sewing notions as well as groceries. Mettie is said to have been the postmistress at the
little post office at Brevik.
It is not known to me at this time if they had children, so far I have not even found a
death record for either of them other than the SSDI information which indicates August
died November 1977 in Cass County, Minnesota and that Mettie died also in Cass County in
1984, however not at the same area where August died. I have not located either of them
buried in any of the cemeteries in Cass County. If these names are familiar to you I can
share some ancestral information.
His parents are Johan August Karlsson and Lovisa Kristina Vetter, he was born in Sweden
along with 10 siblings. They emigrated to America in September of 1904. Jeanine
