Problem att lösa en regnig sommarkväll:
Varifrån kommer dessa herrar i Kansas, Fairfax township?
JOHN PETERSON, farmer, Section 28, P. O. Carbondale, was born in Sweden, November 27, 1836, son of Peter Paulson, now Peterson, and Mary Engrie, where he grew up on a farm, among the rugged hills and stony plains of that Northern region of Europe. He came to the United States in 1854, and settled in Davenport, Iowa, where he had various employments. In 1858 he came to Kansas and settled in Fairfax Township, where he owns a large stock-farm containing 930 acres; - employs several men - buys and sells stock of improved breeds. He has erected substantial buildings at a cost of over $3,000, and made other improvements. He was married in Kansas City, Mo., March 1, 1870, to Miss Hannah Sefgren. They have six children - Effie, born April 12, 1871; Carrie, born August 12, 1872, John A., born January 5, 1875, died April 3, 1875; Nellie A., born June 25, 1876, died June 15, 1880; Eugenie M., born May 14, 1878; Nellie A., born September 2, 1880. CHRIS PETERSON, farmer, Section 16, P. O. Carbondale, was born in Sweden, April 12, 1850, son of Peter and Mary Eugenie Peterson; came to the United States with his father in 1854, and settled in Davenport. In 1858 he removed with his father to Kansas, and settled in Fairfax Township, and now lives in the old homestead settled by his father. He has 160 acres under cultivation. He was married in Kansas City, Mo., March 16, 1880, to Miss Emma Johnson. CHARLES LINDAL, farmer, Section 20, P. O. Fairfax, was born in Sweden, November 17, 1825, where he grew up on a farm. He came to the United States in 1853 and settled in Chicago. In 1857 he came to the State and purchased 160 acres, which he has improved. He went out with the militia to the battle of the Blue. He is unmarried, yet has been a successful farmer. Beträffande Charles Lindahl så gifter han sig med Lena Petersdotter född 1849-06-15,(troligen i Småland) enligt Fred Hendrickson i Oklahoma City, som är besläktad med Lena. Ev. kan herrarna Petersson också vara involverade, rötterna kan ha stått i Norrvidinge eller Uppvidinge härad. Kan någon ge Fred och mig en ledtråd eller två är vi mycket glada!
