Nils Persson of Hjarsas

[Mary Nelson Keithahn]

My great-grandfather was Nils Persson, son of Per Oredsson and Elna Persdotter, born in Hjarsas in 1822, married to Hanna Truedsdotter of Oppmanna on September 8, 1854.  They had five children: Per, b. Feberuary 24, 1855, d. 1926, Alfsborg Township, Sibley County, Minnesota; Anders, b. August 16, 1857, d. Nov. 15, 1927, Gaylord, Minnesota; Sven b. June 8, 1860, d. Hjarsas October 6, 1913; Nils, b. June 7, 1866, d. December 1927, Lindstrom, Minnesota; Thilda or Tilda, b. October 1, 1863, d. c. 1890 at age 17.  When I was in Hjarsas last May, I did not find the graves of Nils and Hanna or Tilda in the Hjarsas cemetery.  (Sven, his wife, and two sons are buried there.)  I would like to find out where Nils, Hanna, and Tilda are buried. And I am curious as to the cause of Tilda's death at such a young age. Any information will be appreciated.

Suggest you e-mail the parish office and ask re. their burials.

Even if buried there, maybe no tombstone still back, if there was one.

[Mary Nelson Keithahn]

Thanks for this data.  I assume there was no record as to Hanna's death, cause of death, and burial.  
 
I have e-mailed the parish office to see if they have any information.
 
I appreciate all the data you have provided for this and other questions.
