What happened to Jonas and Adolf?

At the end of the 19th century my gr grandfather Jonas Sjöberg/Salomonsson and his sons Adolf and Daniel (born in the parish of Junsele - Sweden) went to America leaving the rest of their family (including my grandfather) behind in Långträsk, Sweden. Apparently something happened to them which was kept as a dark secret by the generation of my grandfather and almost all letters from America were burned (Did Jonas re-marry?). Though there has been lots of speculations amongst later generations the only thing we know for sure is that Daniel died at a place called Springhill/Springhill mines... (Jonas and Adolf may of course have moved elsewhere...)
If any of you guys know anything about what happened to my ancestors it would be really interesting to hear about it.
