> My notes to you:
> Powell River is a pulp & paper and lumber mill town up the coast, 2 ferry rides North of Vancouver. A lot of Swedes moved there. Just North of Powell River, the coastal highway stops at the ocean's edge at Lund.
> You can Google these places.
> Yes, the husband's name is spelled 2 different ways here.
> Yes, her Father's name is spelled WARSNKVIST on the Registration.
> Cranbeery Lake BC is along the highway South of Lund and very near Powell River.
> The phrase a 'vascular accident' is unusual to me. I have not seen that before.
>
> Peter, I wonder what drew her to Vancouver; most Swedes were settling on free land on the praries.
> Did she ever write back to Sweden? Was she leaving a difficult situation behind, perhaps?
> I searched for her obituary in the 2 newspapers in Powell River. I found none.
>
> Her husband, Gustaf Eugene LARSON, aged 89, died in P.R. in 1979.
> He was born Nov. 2, 1889 in Sweden. Someone in Sweden today may be tracing his family and may know about letters where Alvida was mentioned.
> I looked at his Death Registration and it said he was divorced from
> Alvida VERNQUIST. (Spelled like that. I'll have to have look again at
> Alvida Amelia LARSON's Death Registration since no divorce was mentioned.)
> The Informant was his / their daughter, Mrs. Alvida C. FORSLUND, Powell River BC.
> I found no obiuary for him either.
>
> I decided to have a look at the FORSLUND names in Powell River and found a Death Registration for a Bror Helge FORSLUND, aged 80, dying on Jan. 25, 1985.
> He was married to Alvida Carnation LARSON, obviously Alvida Amelia's daughter.
> The Death Registration's Informant was Bror Helge's son,
> signed, J(?) C FORSLUND, (illegible first initals) of Powell River.
> Finally I then found Bror Helge FORSLUND's obituary: In short he was survived by his wife, Alva,
> son, Ernie,
> 2 daughters, Margaret SHARP,
> Betty BOND,
> 6 grandchildren,
> 4 great grandchildren.
>
> In BC there is a 30 years delay in releasing Death Registrations, so the daughter, Alvida Carnation LARSON was still alive in 1987.
>
> So, Peter, feel free to write in Swedish if you have any difficulties with this.
> Please update your request at AF with the info that you have an answer. AF will no longer allow me to even post a reply since I am not a mmember!

> Warm regards,
> Thomas V.
