I am looking for any information pertaining to Thor, (Thorwal, Thorval), Carlson. He
married Libby Nelson in LaPorte, IN on August 22, 1896. They had four children, Norman,
Ellen, Harold "T-pot", Elwood "Pug". We have the original engagement
and wedding announcements and they list his home town as Rockford, IL. We do know that
the son, Norman, ws born in Rockford. He left a Dear Jane letter dated October 16, 1906
and was never heard from again.
Supposedly he was in the Spanish American War and he was always a musician. I know that
he played in the Ames Union Band from LaPorte and it's believed that he may have been
involved in the Chicago Symphony.
That's it...all we know. I want to know where did he come from and where did he go?
