My great great grandfather came from Sweden and moved to the US. His given name was Sven Svenson (sp?) and he later changed his name to Gus or August Hamilton. He married a woman from Denmark named Carrie or Karen Mortenson or Mortberg. They later moved to Cheyenne, Wyoming which is where they died. Carrie died in 1921 and Gus in 1946. They were both buried at Lakeview Cemetery. I am pretty sure I had emailed the cemetery but didn't get any info. I really don't have any information because I can't even find them coming into America since I am not sure of the name they came in on. Anything you can help me with would be GREATLY appreciated. I really want to get more info on these two! Thanks!!!

So, Gus was still around in 1930 in Michigan - did he die there? was his remains sent back to Wyoming? did they all move back to Wyoming???

Gus's wife Carrie passed away in 1921 and he moved to Michigan sometime after that (to be with his family, I'm assuming) and when he passed away in 1946 his remains were shipped back to WY. He and Carrie are buried next to each other. I was able to get a death certificate on Carrie that listed her parent's names, but I can't find anything on Gus before he changed his name. Before they lived in Wyoming, they lived in Nebraska, and before that Wisconsin.

Don't feel bad I have e-mailed the cemetary and got zero with my own faimly how sad it is that the good people of wyoming can't help
