Carl Julius Upman died 7 Sept 1898. According to his obituary he was, apart from being a magiastrate, an ex-postmaster and customs official. He was very much consulted as a help in legal matters as a very experienced man. He was a living encyclopedia in matters concerning the history of Östhammar town, in spite of a very limited schooling he was an unusually knowledgeable and intelligent man.
