Hej !
Kan någon hjälpa mig slutsatser ur denna dödsannonsen:
Edward Paulson of 2511 Harding Avenue father of Miss Dorothy Paulson. Belle of Timberland in Muskegons recent Centennial Exposition, and brother of Attorney Henry N. Paulson, died unexpectedly at Hackley hospital today following an illnes of three days. He was 62 years old. (62 år överstruket, ersatt med 90). Death resulted from a streptococci throat infection wich developed into a peritosillar abscess to seriously undermine his recistance before physicians could relive the infection.Sticken Sunday Mr. Paulson was remowed to the hospital where his condition became acute once the absess formed. He was born in Whitehall April 7 1867 and had been a resident of Muskegon for more than 30 years during which he pursued his trade as carpenter in the employ of local construction companies. He was an active trade unionist and was affiliated with the Carpenters union of Muskegon. Mr. Paulson married Miss Bertha White of Whitehall nov.28 1903. Six children were born to them, three daughters Everlyn, Mildred and Dorothy of this city, and three sons Leslie of Michigan City, Donald and Glenn of Muskegon, who with their mother survive.
He also leaves two brothers Henry N,of Muskegon and Paul of Detroit and three sisters Misses Emma, Anna and Esther Paulson,
all of Whitehall. He was a member of Lakeside Methodist church.
Jag misstänker, att man har vänt på Edwards födelseår och att det i stället skall vara 1876-04-07. Är detta rätt ? Jag vet ej var och när annonsen är införd. När och var dör han ?
När föds de uppräknade 6 barnen ?

I 1910 års folkräkning finner man i Fruitport, Muskegon:
 
Edward Paulson 35  (=1874-1875)
Bertha Paulson 28  
Evelyn Paulson 7  
Leslie Paulson 5  
Ralph Paulson 2  
Mildred Paulson 5/12  
 
Den noggranna beskrivningen av sjukdomsförloppet tyder på att det är en notis i lokaltidningen från 20-30-talet. Dottern har ju valts till skönhetsdrottning på lantbruksutställningen. Centennial förvirrar lite, det brukar vara jämna 100 år efter självständigheten 1776, men kanske det var 1926 (150 år).
 
Henry N Paulson var född 21 sept 1893 (fel i dödsregsistret står 1993!) och dog 18 jan 1979.
Bertha Paulson, Muskegon dör i mars 1977, född 16 dec 1888 (Social Security).

[Chris Bingefors]

Edward och Bertha Paulson ligger begravda på kyrkogården i Whitehall, Muskegon. Tyvärr anges inga datum.
 
Skönhetsdrottningen gifte sig 1939:
 
Maurice (Morry) Carlson was born in Muskegon Heights, Michigan. In 1939, he married Dorothy Paulson, also born and raised in the Muskegon area.  Together they began a life of service to the Lord. This included raising three sons, Warren, Larry, and Randy, in a strong Christian home.  
 
As an accomplished saxophone player and converted dance band leader, Morry turned his talent into a powerhouse for the Lord. During his long career of service to God and his community, he was employed by the Muskegon Chronicle in the Advertising Department, was an early pioneer of Youth for Christ, and served on the Constitution Committee for Youth For Christ International. He became known as Uncle Morry when he sang with the Uncles Quartet on the Children's Bible Hour. In addition, he served as Director of the Winona Lake Bible Conference, and was one of the originators of Gospel Films in Michigan.  
 
Morry & Dorothy's greatest accomplishment was the establishment of the Youth Haven Ranches in Rives Junction, Michigan, and Picacho, Arizona. The vision for the Ranches sprang from the blessing Morry received as founder of the original Youth Haven Boys Home for troubled teenagers in Muskegon County, Michigan. Together with their son Larry and his wife Cheri, Morry and Dorothy began to turn this vision into a real ministry in 1968. Acting on their faith in God's provision, they purchased several acres of land in Rives Junction and began to transform a field into a haven for underprivileged children.  
 
Several years later, in 1982, a Tucson man named Palmer Miller donated 40 acres of desert property in Picacho, Arizona, to the purpose of beginning a Youth Haven Ranch in Arizona, and thus began the Desert Ranch.  
 
Morry Carlson went to be with the Lord on May 1, 1994 and Dorothy followed on August 20, 2004, but their vision lives on. Today Youth Haven reaches thousands of disadvantaged children each year.

CARLSON, DOROTHY MAE MRS. (PAULSON)
 
Obituary
 
Muskegon Chronicle, Muskegon, Michigan, 22 August 2005, Page 3B
 
CARLSON, DOROTHY MAE, Rives Junction, MI.  Dorothy Mae Carlson, age 85, went to be with her Lord on August 20, 2005 at her home under the loving care of her family.  Dorothy Mae Carlson was born May 28, 1920 in Muskegon, Michigan to Edward and Bertha (White) Paulson.  She graduated from Muskegon High School and was Belle of the Timberland for the Muskegon Centennial in 1937.  On March 10, 1939, she married Maurice (Morry) A. Carlson, who preceded her in death May 1, 1994.  They had three sons, M. Warren (Barbara), Larry J. (Cheryle), and Dr. Randy L. (Donna).  They had nine grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren.  She was Co-Founder of Youth Haven Ranches, a Christian organization for needy children located in Rives Junction, Michigan (1968) and Picacho, Arizona (1980), where she served on the Board of Directors and was active in the children's ministries.  Dorothy is also survived by her brother, Glen Paulson, who lives in Muskegon, Michigan.  She was preceded in death by brothers, Don, Ralph, Les, and sisters, Millie, and Evelyn.  In lieu of flowers, the family asks that you consider making a contribution to the Dorothy Carlson Memorial Children's Fund at Youth Haven.  Visitation hours will take place at Bethel Baptist Church on Springport Road in Jackson, Michigan from 6:00 until 9:00 p.m. on Tuesday, August 23, as well as at 10:00 a.m. on Wednesday, August 24.  Funeral services will be held at the church at 11:00 a.m. Wednesday, August 24, followed by a reception at Youth Haven Ranch.  Interment will take place at Mona View Cemetery in Muskegon Heights, Michigan at 1:00 p.m. on Thursday, August 25. -Charles J.

City's 1937 centennial 'belle' dead at age 87, By Dave LeMieux, CHRONICLE STAFF WRITER .  Dorothy Mae Carlson, named “Belle of the Timberland” for Muskegon's centennial in 1937, died at her home near Jackson on Saturday.  She was 85.  
 
Carlson, then a 17-year-old Muskegon High School student, was elected to reign over Muskegon's mid-July centennial celebration and Lumberjack Carnival.  
 
She was sponsored in her candidacy by local labor unions, which saw that she won by more than 170,000 votes.  The daughter of Bertha and Edward Paulson left on a whirlwind tour of Chicago as part of the celebration.  Chicago motorcycle cops escorted the bus carrying Carlson and her court, “weaving in and out of traffic, through every red light on Michigan Boulevard” to a reception with Chicago Mayor Edward J. Kelly.  
 
Carlson was featured on NBC's national Farm & Home radio program during her stay in Chicago.  She returned to Muskegon for the city's sesquicentennial in 1987 with her husband, Morry, from their home in Tucson.  In 1987, she recalled that when she was elected “belle,” war clouds were gathering over an America still in the grips of the Great Depression.  Even then, she said, “The beautiful thing about Muskegon was that it always had tremendous spirit.”  Morry Carlson died in 1994.  The couple has three sons, M. Warren Carlson, Larry J. Carlson and Randy L. Carlson.  Dorothy Carlson was co-founder and chairwoman of Youth Haven Ranches, a Christian organization for needy children in the Jackson County community of Rives Junction and Picacho, Ariz.  
 
Funeral arrangements are being handled by Charles J. Burden & Son Funeral Home in Jackson.  Carlson's funeral will be at Bethel Baptist Church on Springport Road in Jackson at 11 a.m. Wednesday.  She will be buried at Mona View Cemetery in Muskegon Heights at 1 p.m. Thursday.

Vad hette syskonen som emigrerade och när var de födda. Jag hittar bara en John Carlson i Cadillac 1910 och han är född ca 1860 vilket verkar för tidigt.1900 finns det också en som är född dec 1867.
I mönstringen till 1a världskriget finns en Charles Carlson från Crystal Falls, Iron Co, Michigan som är född rätt datum, men anges född i Finland.

[Lasse Andersson]

Hej Chris!
Det är något konstigt,för han har inget syskon Johan Carlson,så frågan är om det inte skrevs in fel i papprena,men han hade två syskon som emigrerade till USA,Hulda Amalia Karlsdotter f,1873-11-16 och stack över maj 1893 och henne vet jag rätt mycket om,och sedan var det broder Axel Harald Karlsson f,1884-04-09 och emigrerade april 1902 och tog sig namnet Rehnberg och alla var födda i Bjurtjärn (S)
Det här är min farmors syskon och dom var nio stycken och det är bara Carl Hjalmar som jag inte vet något om! Så här ser det ut på Emigranten som jag har fått hjälp med,sedan är min engelska inget att skriva hem om!

Det kanske var bara vad han sa till immigrationsmyndigheten! Axel hittar jag i Snohomish, Washington 1920, gift med Ellen och son Harry 9 år. Din Carl Hjalmar verkar uppslukad.

[Lasse Andersson]

Hej igen Chris!
Tack snälla du för hjälpen.
Det var rätt Axel.Ättlingar till Axel o Hulda vet heller ingenting om Carl Hjalmar,så en tanke fanns att han kanske var med i WW1 och försvann där,men jag är verkligen glad för att jag har hittat farmors alla andra syskon,så Carl Hjalmar får nog bli ett mysterium!

Edward Paulson född 7 april 1874, snickare, Muskegon mönstrar till 1a världskriget. Han är gift med Bertha. En tå borta som handikapp.
Han bor i Fruitland. Född i USA. Rätt Bertha är alltså den som ska vara född 1881.
 
I 1900 census finns denna Bertha White i Fruitland:
 
Josephine White 50  
Bertha White 18  
Alse White 10  
 
De bor nästan grannar med John och Elna Paulson, som har en son som heter Henry. Edward finns inte med, men är det hans familj så kanske han flyttat hemifrån. Syskon: Hilma, Ester, Paul, Elna (det har varit 8 barn alla lever). John Paulson immigrerade 1867 från Sverige. Född januari 1834 (1839?).

[Chris Bingefors]

Det finns tre White på Whitehall  kyrkogård:

Det fanns flera Paulson i Fruitland, Nils och Mary t ex enligt ett ofullständigt födelseregister.

Obituary
 
Whitehall Forum  Whitehall, Michigan  30 July 1925  Page 1
 
Miss Elna Paulson was born in Fruitland township, October 5 1898, and died at Cleveland, Ohio, July 22,  1925.  Miss Paulson, whose greater part of life was spent in Whitehall, was confirmed in the Swedish  Lutheran church, here, in 1914.  She was graduated from Whitehall High School, with the class of '17, later  attending the state normal college at Ypsilanti, from which institution she graduated with a Teacher's Life  Certificate.  For the past five years she has been teaching in the public schools of this state, the last two of  which were spent at Grosse Ile.  She had received her contract to teach in the public schools of Cleveland  for next year and was spending the summer in that city attending the Western Reserve University,  preparatory to assuming her duties in the fall.  About two weeks before her death, illness forced her to give  up her work.  On Tuesday, July 21, she was operated on for the removal of gall bladder and appendix.  Her  brother, Henry, had been with her during the week-end, and was present at the time of operation.  Her  sister, Miss Esther, also arrived before the operation, and her condition following the operation was  reported as good, and Tuesday evening, Henry returned to Detroit.  At about three o'clock the following  morning her sister was startled by the message that Elna had suffered a relapse and that her condition was  critical.  She hurried immediately to the bed-side and was with her when death called at about six o'clock  Wednesday morning.  The formation of a blood clot was held responsible for her death.  The funeral  service was held at the Swedish Lutheran church, Whitehall, and was conducted by Rev. A. J. Beausang,  assisted by Rev. C. J. Segerhammer.  Music was furnished by Miss Martha Youngquist and Miss Elna  Dahlstrom.  Miss Paulson is survived by her mother, Mrs. Elna Paulson, three sisters, Misses Anna, Emma  and Esther, and three brothers, Edward, Paul and Henry.  Elna's sunny and loving disposition won friends  for her, where she went, and she will be greatly missed by all who knew her.

Will
 
3 October 1907  Page 1
 
MRS. WHITE'S WILL.   A small estate is divided among four heirs, two daughters and two sons, by the  will of Mrs. Josephine White, who died a week ago.  The will was filed for probating Friday.  Bequests of  $5 each are given Wallace H. White of Whitehall, and Charles S. White of Fruitport, sons.  A daughter  Mrs. Bertha Paulson of Fruitport, is given $25.  The funeral expenses are expected to dispose of the  remainder of her money.  The house, furniture, wearing apparel and two acres of land in Fruitport, which  constituted Mrs. White's farm home for the past two years were bequeathed to the youngest daughter, Miss  Alice White, with the unusual stipulation that the house is not to be moved from the property, which is in  accordance with a deed Mrs. White made with Edward Paulson, husband of the oldest daughter.  Curiously  enough, Mrs. White when she died was administratrix of the estate of her husband, George M. White, who  died several years ago.  To dispose of this tangle a petition was made Thursday in probate court for the  appointment of an administrator de bonus non in his estate.  The hearings on this petition and on the  probate of will were set for Oct. 21.

Enligt Family Data Collection på Ancestry gifte sig Edward Paulson och Bertha Marie White 28 november 1901. Fader George White, moder Josephine Alice Sunderland. Systern Alice White föddes 1 jan 1890, gifte sig 28 dec 1911. Deras far George White:
George W White  
Spouse: Alice Southerland  
Parents: Aaron White White , Lucretia   Hughes  
Birth Place: Bellevue, MI  
Birth Date: 20 Jul 1838  
Marriage Date: 1867  
Death Date: 1872 (måste vara fel! antagligen 1892)
 
17 augusti 1895 begärde Josephine White änkepension efter George White för hans deltagande i inbördeskriget. Det finns flera med hans namn i registret över soldater. Men i register över veteraner 1890 finns han som private (vanlig soldat) i B company, tjänstgöringstid 1863-85, 1 år 7 mån 26 dagar. Krigsskadan är kanske lite mindre hjältemodig: Hemorrhoider! (Man fick det av den kroniska fältsjukan)

[Chris Bingefors]

Detta är troligen hans militärdata, åldern stämmer dock inte med andra (osäkra) uppgifter:
 
George W White ,    
Residence: Berrien County, Michigan  
Enlistment Date: 14 December 1863  
Side Served: Union  
State Served: Michigan  
Service Record: Enlisted as a Private on 14 December 1863 at the age of 44
Enlisted in Company B, 6th Infantry Regiment Michigan on 24 December 1863.
Joined Regiment on 04 January 1864 at Port Hudson, LA
Mustered out Company B, 6th Infantry Regiment Michigan on 20 August 1865 in New Orleans, LA  
 
 
Hela historien (lång!) om deras slag mm finns att läsa.

[Chris Bingefors]

George White föddes i Eaton Co, Bellevue. Fadern Aaron var kalkbrännare född i Massachusetts. Han hade 5 syskon.

[Chris Bingefors]

Ett intressant faktum i den långa historien om familjen Paulson är att Dorothy blev vald till Timberland Belle (skönhetsdrottning) med stöd av fackföreningsrörelsen i Muskegon, hon vann med 170000 röster pga detta. Hennes far, Edward, var stor fackföreningspamp i Muskegon! Undrar om det kan ha haft med saken att göra.

Hej Chris !
Jo tack,  Jöns hade jag kläm på. Han gjorde först en flicka med barn och tog då sin första tur till Amerika. Han åkte sen tillbaka hem till Svedala och hann då göra ännu en flicka med barn (tvillingar som båda dog ganska direkt) och då drog han västerut till Amerika igen.
Det här blev en verklig rysare !
Hälsningar

Det var väldigt roligt det här och leder hur långt som helst, letade efter Otto Tryzell och fann denna översättning av ett brev han skrev hem 1903  
 
In the letter dated Februari 22 1903, Carrier RFD $, Whitehall, Mich.
 
Dear brother Edward and sister in law..
 
The family is well and she (the daugther?) talkes about everything...
 
I am no longer working with tannery and have been trained to be a mail carrier, with wagon and horses... you must belive that this is a real post office on wheels...The district is 30 english miles... Before I could get this job I had to get an exam in civil service... I scored 98 of 100 and recieved my appointment from Washington that I have been accepted.

Hej Chris !
Jo visst vet jag vem Jöns (John) år. Det var på honom hela storyn började ! Han for till Amerika första gången efter att ha gjort en flicka med barn. Åkte sen hem igen och lyckades då med att fixa till tvillingar (som dog strax efter födelsen) med en annan. Då drog han åter västerut ! Även här lyckades han väl, för det blev 9 st barn till ( fast då i äkta säng ), när man summerar dem !
Spännande familjehistoria !
Tack för i kväll och god natt !

Chris,  
Sorry, om jag upprepade mig. Jag såg inte att mitt förra inlägg hade kommit in, så jag trodde det hade försvunnit, men det var ju för att Du hade varit så flitig och hunnit med ett till.
Nu är det dags för oss nattrumallre att dra oss tillbaka, eller...?

Christer,
 
Det var ett kul problem det här - den förrymda drängen/barnafadern som blev samhällets stöttepelare i Muskegon. Det är ovanligt att man hittar så mycket, speciellt i Michigan. Mina egna amerikaresenärer verkar dessutom gå in i dimman redan vid Vinga fyr och syns aldrig mera till igen.
 
De övriga barnen till John har inte samma fertilitet som fadern. Döttrarna Emma, Anna och Esther dör ogifta efter att ha bott tillsammans hela livet i Muskegon. Henry har jag inte hittat någon familj till.
