Marcus D Blood, 1905 Prisoner

CarmenGardiner — 27 Jul 2007 10:13:02 GMT

Hi!

I am trying to track down why my ggrandfather's brother Marcus D Blood is listed on the 1905 Grantsburg census as "prisoner" in the household of Charley Sandberg (sheriff). Also in the household (the county jail???) is Charley's wife Delia, Joel R Randal, another prisoner, and Fred S Christenson, Dep Sheriff.

Thanks for any info or advice!

WYNACHT, George W.

AnnieinMinnesota — 7 Oct 2006 2:11:29 GMT

Looking for info on the death and burial of George W. WYNACHT, b. abt August 1867 according to the 1900 census. In the 1920 census he is in Webster and we are given to understand he died sometime in the 1930s and was buried in a cemetery outside Webster. I checked the cemetery list for the Webster cemetery that is online and he is not listed there, however, there is no list for

OAK GROVE CEMETERY -- This cemetery is located on the north edge of Webster in the Town of Meenon.

and I am wondering if possibly this is where he is buried.

As he is supposed to have commited suicide it might be an unmarked grave.

Any help SKS could give us would be greatly appreciated.

Quarford/quarfoot/qvarfot/kilberg

trulew1 — 6 Oct 2007 7:35:18 GMT

I am trying to find information for my great grandmother and great grandfather who immigrated from Sweden around 1868 and were married in Cook Co., IL on 12/27/1872. Names on their marriage license are Franz Herrman Qvarfot and Johanna Mathilda Kihlborg. They are listed on the Burnett Co. census for 1880 through 1910. They had 10 children: Frank D., Tilda, Charles, Hanna, Harry, Minnie, William, Julia, Paul Edwin and my grandmother, Ruth Elizabeth. I have found documents listing the Quarfoot name as Qvarfot, Quarford, Quarfordt, etc. and Johanna (who went by Tilda) has the last names of Kilberg, Kihlborg, Kalberg, Kelberg. I have an estimated death year of 1918 for Franz (Frank) but no death for Tilda. Also, my one living relative is sure that her grandfather lived with them until his death in the 1920's and they called him Charlie. This makes no sense with the other info I have but she is quite sure it was her grandfather Quarfoot. If anyone has any info I'd love to hear from you. My father also grew up in Grantsburg until WWII. His name was Douglas Wedin. He was born in Grantsburg on 9/22/1920.

Anna Peterson

Lee Carlson — 4 Mar 2006 11:09:28 GMT

I wondered if anyone had ever come across this family:

1900 US Census, Grantsburg, Burnett Co., Wisconsin, SD 9, ED 27, Sheet 5A, enumerated 8 June 1900
49 50 Peterson Gustaf head W M Jul 1870 S Sweden Sweden Sweden 1880 20 farmer
Anna mother W F Dec 1826 Wd 11 5 Sweden Sweden Sweden 1880 20

Anna was born Anna Catharina Larsdotter in Munktorp, Sweden and Married Lars Erik Persson who d. before she emigrated. In 1900 she was living next door to her niece Carolina Larson and the latter's husband Lars August Larsson. Nancy Bovy has been very helpful with information on Carolina's descendants, but I can only find this census listing on Anna. Anna came to America with her children Carl Alfred Larsson and Gustaf Hermann Larson. A daughter, Anna Charlotta Larsdotter went to Ramsey Co, MN wth her husband Axel Olson in 1887

Death in Grantsburg about May 21, 1900 (Olson? Astradson? Ostradson? or?)

JoannePeterson14 — 6 Aug 2002 10:33:58 GMT

We know very little about great-grandmother Hannah Astradson (married Horace Peterson) other than that she was born Feb. 3, 1855 in Sweden; died April 24, 1910 in Litchfield, Minnesota; and that her cousins were Peter E. Hanson and Mrs. W. H. Wilcox (also of Minnesota). One other fact is that her father died in Grantsburg, Wis. about May 21, 1900. I can find no record of death or burial in Burnett County that seem to be a possible match. Does anyone have suggestions? Is there an adjacent county where he might have been buried? Many thanks for ANY help! Joanne

Sandy Powell

Hello, I am searching for any information regarding Sandy Powell (deceased) of Webster, WI. Especially the name/location of a husband/children.
My brother (died last year at 16) had a last wish of repurchasing (if possible) a horse that we had sold them (to help pay for my brother's medical bills). We heard Sandy had died, but would like to find her husband/family to see if they can help us find the whereabouts of my brother's horse. Thank you very much.

Wold /Nylander

suehtamlm — 17 Nov 2004 6:56:45 GMT

Charles J Wold is my grandfather, his parents were Jorgen Olson and Anna Knutson. there were 3 girls and three boys and the family came to Wis from Drammen Norway. with only the boys staying in Wis. Girls and parents went to New York, and parents returned to Norway. I know that we were called "Wahl" at times, but thought it was just anglicized from the Norwegian. A lot of family names were changed, or spelled differently when arriving here.
He was sheriff in Grantsburg Wi in 1885 and said to carry TNT in his fists--"he feared neither man nor beast". He evidently fathered 26 children. His first wife died in childbirth, He had 17 "several sets of twins or triplets, many infant deaths) and I am daughter of his oldest child with wife # 3(total of 8 with Martha Goodsell)Family plot is in Riverside Cemetery Grantsburg, Wi.I got lots of info, new clippings and vital statistics at museum there.

Charles HENDRICKSON of Town of Marshfield, Grantsburg, WI

spoentgen — 14 Jan 2005 9:58:35 GMT

Charles Hendrickson listed in 1900 and 1905 census in Town of Marshland.
1903 he was granted 160 acres of land under the Homestead act
" East half of the South East quarter of Section three, and the north half of the north East quarter of the section ten in Township Thirty nine North of Range Seventeen west of the Fourth Principal meridian in Wisconsin,".

Charles was married to wife Hilda Nordberg, they had sons George b. MN 1893, Arthur H. b. MN 1895, daughter Lillian Margaret b. 1897 WI and daughter Frances Aleda b. 1900 WI.

They removed to the Minneapolis area of MN between 1905 and 1910 census.

I am wondering if someone near the local courthouse or County Clerk's office would be willing to hunt down the last remainging puzzle pieces for me on this family.

1) the land. Between 1905 and 1910 they must have either sold it or lost it. Could someone find the land deed for me? I am referring to the subsequent sale, not the original homestead grant which I have. Why did they give up the farm?

2) In the County records, there may be early births and deaths. These three intrique me because of the fact the 1910 census indicated there had been three deceased children.

BIRTHS:
HENDRICKSON Agnes J 02 Apr 1902 0025 000523
HENDRICKSON Albert 11 Aug 1906 0025 001069

THESE deaths were listed pre-1907
HENDRICKSON Agnes Josephine 03 Apr 1902 01 0216 009 2157 154281
HENDRICKSON Albin 13 Oct 1906 01 0280 009 2475 154282
HENDRICKSON Nels 04 Dec 1896 01 0159 009 1904 154362

And this similar one:
HENRIKSON Sylvia Eleanor 04 May 1901 01 0201 009 2088 155129

If someone could look them up to see if the parents names are Charles (or Karl / Carl) and Hilda / Hulda Nordberg Hendrickson/ Henreikson/ Henrikson I would be very grateful.

Charles Erickson, Freda and children

Jughead2000 — 8 Jun 2002 3:53:09 GMT

Hi!

I am trying to determine the death date and fates of Charles Erickson and his children.

He was born in Rush City, MN in 1871...but he remarried a lady named Freda and moved to Grantsburg, WI about 1905.

He had 5 children, but 2 were born in Grantsburg from the second marriage: Harvey (about 1911) and Edith (1915).

According to 1915 and 1920 censuses they were all in Grantsburg. I am having a difficult time finding the death date of Charles- but I think Harvey had a farm in Grantsburg. I am unaware of what happened to Edith.

if this family looks familiar to anyone, I would appreciate the help.

Thank you,

Mark Smith
