There is a Johanna Sundberg, age 85, born about 1845 in Sweden, living alone in 515 Main Street in Lake City, Wabasha County, Minnesota in the 1930 US Federal Census, which was taken on April 5th 1930. According to the census, she was a widow, had arrived in America in 1869, was a naturalized IS citizen and spoke English.
There are three Johanna Sundberg in the death records - but one died in 1928, another in 1973. The third one, which *might* be the correct one - Mrs Johanna Sundberg, died on 8-Mar-1936 in Ramsey county - ie in the northern part of the Twin cities - in the city of Saint Paul or one the northern suburbs.
There is a Johanna Sundberg in the 1880 US Federal census that might be the right one - in Dewald, Nobles county, Minnesota. Age 34 on June 19th 1880. Housewife. Married to farmed Charles Sundberg, age 34, also an immigrant from Sweden.
Children: Daughter Anna, 12 year old in June 1880 Son Frank, 10 years old in June 1880 Daughter Elen, 8 years old in June 1880 Daughter Minnie, 6 years old in June 1880 Daughter Josephine, 1 year old in June 1880
Anna was born in Michigan Frank and Elen were born in Missouri The two youngest was born in Minnesota.
According to the 1900 census of Dewald, Nobles County, Minnesota, Johanna had by 1900 given birth to 9 children, 8 of which were still alive. Mmm - her month of birth is given as Dec 1846 in this census. Charles as Apr-1841. Possibly, maybe even probably same group of people as the 1880 census. Same address, same family names, They had been married for 35 years, ie since about 1865. Arrival in the US: 1864. Hmmmm.
Anyways - if these are the same people, their children still living at home are listed as:
Mary E (Elen?), born Feb 1872 in Missouri. Hilda J (Josephine ?), born Jan 1879 in Minn Amanda L, born June 1882 in Minn(esota) Selma M, born July 1886 in Minn Esther C, born Dec 1892 in Minn
Mary E is a teacher, Hilda is a dressmaker, and Amanda and Selma is in school in 1900.
Should be possible to trace quite a bit about the family - I would guess that since Johanna died in Ramsey, one or more of the children moved down to the twin cities and settled there.
