Classification: Query
Surnames: Jacobson, Krohn, Swenson, Longardner, Lajoie, Lawrence
My great grandfather came over from Sweden around 1911 and was born to Swen Jacobson in Blekinge, Oloafstrom, Sweden. I know he had siblings and that some of them came over later but I do not know their names.
Swen was born on Feb 08 1882 and died in 1961. He was married to Anna Mathilda Krohn, daughter of Swan N. Krohn (skone Sweden) and Anna Jacobson (Helsinki Finland). They lived in Donovan IL where they had four children
Dorothy Marie (married john william Lawrence)
Frances Elizabeth (married George Lajoie)
Naomi Beulah (married Robert Longardner)
Swen was a minister of the Methodist church until 1919 when he left it after the death of his baby daughter Lillian in Wisconsin. He and his family then farmed in Donovan IL.
