Hi Rhonda, Gustaf's death (from acute otitis media, and subsequent "inflammation of the brain") and his obituaries unfortunately gave no information about his parentage. My gg-father Gold, also a teacher, was appointed secretary and empowered to receive subscriptions to aid his family when he died. There were several items reported in various South Australian newspapers for your man - let me know if you want further information for these. Have you tried a Rootsweb posting for Sweden?
