Looking for information regarding Seth Erickson born about 1872 in Sweden. He married Theresa Birginski/Bregenske on 07/18/1896 in LaPorte County, Indiana. Six months later they had a baby boy, Charles F. Erickson, on 01/28/1897.
The 1900 census shows Theresa Erickson as married and, along with baby Charles, living with her father and siblings. No sign of Seth. This information was collected June, 1900.
Newspaper obit shows Theresa dying of appendicitis on 10/13/1900 just days after her 31st birthday. Obit reads "the deceased is survived by her husband, Mr. Seth Erickson, from whom she was divorced..."
Seth seems to have gotten Theresa knocked up and then dumped her soon after marrying her. He appears to have been a scumbag, but I still am looking for info on him.
Thanks,
Connie
