Classification: Biography
Surnames: Breitweiser, Johnson, Petterson, Larson, Spargur, Anderson, Himsel, Preusz
SERENDIPITY: In the Jan-Feb 1996 issue of "The Genealogical Helper" magazine, pg. 228, is a charming photo of Sigurd & Hattie (Breitweiser) Johnson on their wedding day. The couple was married 31 Jan 1912 at Titonka, IA. They lived most of their lives in Mason City, Iowa.
Sigurd was born in Vasterivik, Sweden, 27 Aug 1889, son of Johann and Charlotte (Petterson) Larson. He migrated to the United Sates as a young man settling in Iowa and later in Mason City.
Hattie was born 23 Sept 1891, near Dubois, IN, daughter of George & Elizabeth (Preusz) Breitweiser.
Sigurd and Hattie were parents of four children: Edward (1912-64); William (1925-90); Alma (Mrs. H. Spargur), Falls City, NE, and Jeanette (Mrs. C. D. Anderson), Mason City, IA. Both women were widowed.
Sigurd still has family living in Sweden. Descendants of Johann Peter and Catherine (Himsel) Breitweiser who came from Germany (Hattie's grandparents) are scattered all over the United States.
