Noteringar |
- The church records noted that she went to Sweden. Hopefully her father had given her a cow at least when she left home. She never married. She had her own little houseat Kattilasaari just otside Haparanda, Sweden. She seems to have made a living by sewing for other people. In the old days a seamstress might come and stay with a family untill all of them had been outfitted. She must have have a very frugal person as after her death there was property to be devided among her siblings. The record prepared by the church to assist in the division of her estate is a source of valuable information on the members of the family.
She had five full sisters, five half-sisters and six half-brothers but many were deceased by the time of her death. A portion of her estate was allotted to her half-brother Erik Emil in the United States. The money was put in a bank in Finland. There was a devaluation of the currency, however, so by the time the money was given by the heirs, the children of Erik Emil, to their mother or step-mother it was enough to just buy her a new heating stove for the living room.
