Sven Wilhelm Ehn

[Birgitta Ehn Norin]

My grandfather's brother Sven Wilhelm Ehn, born 14 February 1903, emigrated to the US in 1913with his mother Hilda Ehn (later Andersson), born 1 November 1868. He lived in Seattle in 1920 and in Chicago, Cook Illinois in 1922. There he was a member of the Independent Order of Svithiod from May to October 1922. In 1927 he was champion of high diving, probably of the West Coast. After that I have not been able to trace him so I would appreciate any clues that might help me to find out what happened to him.
