Emma Hendrickson married Axel Vilhelm Lindberg about 1908 at Hamlin County South Dakota. In 1910 they are at Hamlin County ED 206, 13B, 54, Florence Township. By 1920 they had moved to Slope County in North Dakota, ED 193, 8A, 11, Rainy Butte Township. They are both buried in the New England Cemetery, Hettinger County.

Axel Lindberg came from Pajala in North Sweden. A Lindberg relative has Emma Hendrickson’s maiden name as Weckabetta.

We believe her parents were John Hendrickson, b. 1847 Finland, in his first marriage, with Bertha, b. 1857 Finland, d. about 1907. They lived in Dixon Township. They were married about 1882, possibly in Hamlin County. Children were: Charly, Dec 1882; Anna, March 1884; Hilma, May 1885; Emma 1888; Alfred Nov 1896.

About 1908, John married a Hannah, b. ca 1876 Finland. They had Leonard, b. 1909.

Does anyone have information about these families ? We do not know when or where John and Hannah died, or where Bertha is buried.
