Where is the old Swedish Lutheran Church Cemetery?

fiveacre1 — 4 Jul 2008 11:38:19 GMT

Next month I will be visiting Skandia. My g-mother and g-grandmother (Elsie Norberg Larson and Johanna Norberg) are buried in the old Swedish Lutheran Church Cemetery. I'd like to visit the grave site but am not sure how to get to the cemetery.

I visited the church and cemetery in the 1960s but am sorry to say I do not remember how to get there now. I was a kid at the time. Once at the church I could walk to the grave. Unfortunatly the last time my Dad and his cousin visited he had a tombstone installed. He said they did not install it in the correct grave site.

Can anyone give me directions to the old church?
Is there an online listing of who is buried in the cemetery?
I'll be looking for the Norberg and Danielson family information.
Any suggestions of what else I should visit while in Skandia?

I will be checking out the Marquette History Library.

Tousignant,Roi

S. Tousignant — 6 Jan 1999 12:00:00 GMT

I am currently researching Marquette County for Telesphore Tousignant (1861-1918) and wife Elizabeth Roi (1866-1943). They had 14 children. Eldest son Wilfred had 14 children. Their youngest son, Harry is 96 years old living in florida. He says Elizabeth died on Dec. 5, 1943 in Gwinn, Mich. but the Records in Lansing state there is no such person. Harry says the Telesphore also went by "John" and Elizabeth's last name as "King". Very confusing. Does anyone have info re: where they were married (unable to locate in Quebec)-found their birth records. Telesphore death record listed name as "Talis". Also any info on Elizabeth death record. I do have extensive family info to share.

Marquette County birth

solehi — 31 Mar 2008 6:15:41 GMT

I am looking for the birth date of my uncle's brother, August Nyman. From the 1900 Census, he was born August 1887 in Michigan. As his father August Nyman filed his Declaration of Intent in Marquette County before moving to Minnesota, I would hope that August, the son, was born there. Is there anyone who is interested in doing a look-up at the Marquette County Courthouse? I don't want a copy, just a complete date. Mother's name was Kaisa. Parents were from Finland. I would be most grateful. I am willing to reimburse for any reasonable expenses as I live out-of-state.

Ester Estella Lindstrom

cgreen1970 — 12 Mar 2008 10:50:30 GMT

I am searching for any information on Ester Estella Lindstrom (and her family) born about 1903 in Ishpeming, Marquette, Michigan to Theodor Lindstrom (b. Jul 1863, Sweden/d. between 1913 and 1919, Ishpeming, Marquette, Michigan) and Anna M. Logren (?) (b. Jan 1868, Sweden/d. ?). Theodor immigrated to America in 1884 and was naturalized (but a year was not specified on the Census) and Anna immigrated to America in 1882 and was naturalized in 1889. They married in Michigan in 1889. Theodor was an iron ore miner. In 1900, they lived at 308 Ceder Street, Ishpeming, Michigan and from 1910 until 1930 they lived at 133 Cliff Street, Ishpeming, Michigan. Theodor is not listed in the 1920 or 1930 Censuses but Anna is with new husband William Carlson.

Their children are as follows:
1) Elfie Lindstrom (b. Oct 1890, Michigan)
2) Theodora Lindstrom (b. Sep 1892, Michigan)
3) Lillian Lindstrom (b. Aug 1894, Michigan)
4) Paulina Lindstrom (b. 1 Sep 1896, Michigan)
5) Mertia Lindstrom (b. Apr 1898, Michigan)
6) Ester Estella Lindstrom
7) Theodor Lindstrom, Jr. (b. abt 1904, Michigan)
8) Florence Lindstrom (b. abt 1908, Michigan)
9) Frederick Lindstrom (b. abt 1914, Michigan)

Ester Estella Lindstrom married William Edward Morrow on 9 Jan 1919 in Rockford, Winnebago, Illinois. She was 16 at the time and needed permission which was delivered by Lillian Lindstrom and Dora Johnson (whom I think might be her sister Theodora). In 1920, they were in Geneva Townshiop, Walworth, Wisconsin where my grandfather, Robert Frederick Morrow was born (b. 13 Jan 1920/d. 20 Nov 1979, Waco, McClellan, Texas). They had another child, as well, William Edward Pifer Morrow (b. 29 Aug 1924, Eureka, Woodford, Illinois/ d. Colorado). In April 1926, they were divorced where she did not show up to court and the judge banned her from contact with the children--though, she did try to take the baby when she determined to leave her first husband because she had fallen in love with another man. In July 1926, she married a Milo Wold (b. in Montana) in Rockford, Winnebago, Illinois. In the 1930 Census, Milo Wold is listed as single living in a boarding house. Ester is not with him and I haven't been able to find her. I was wondering if anyone could help me (it seems that she might have had a reputation of sorts)find anything about her or her family--especially her parents.

Sorry this is so long, but thanks in advance.

March 01, 1840. He apparently worked in the Pewabic Mine since this is the birth place listed for children born after they arrived. My grandfather William was one of eight children, the older born in Cornwall, younger born in Pewabic. The whole family moved to Marquette county to Ishpeming sometime after 1886 to 614 Wabash. The children were:

We are looking for family of any brothers or sisters of Peter (b1881) or any links or information to his parents. My dad Henry Theodor(b1916) and his brother Albert (b1913)were born in Champion and Ishpeming while sister Lydia was born in Humbolt, Mi in 1907. Albert died in Chicago in June 1982 and that family search is on also.

Living cousins in Negaunee have provied extensive information on other families listed and we would like to collaborate with others.

Holy Cross Cemetery

I went to the "Find A Grave" site and they have listed a Holy Cross Cemetery, Marquette, Marquette County, Michigan and a Holy Cross Cemetery, Trowbridge Park, Marquette County, Michigan. They are the same cemetery aren't they?? I was going to add my family but found this confusing.
Thanks,
Sue
