How to find out where and how someone was shot dead between 1901 and 1906? I have very few clues. It was a very young boy Johan Edvard Mauritz Lindstrom b in Sweden nov 17 1884. He left for Leadville where his father worked and arrived in summer 1901. Last trace is a phot from Greeley taken not later than feb 1902 when the business was closed. Another Swede who returned home in 1906 said that he was shot dead. There were also something about a trench. He probably changed his name to John, Ed or something more english. If he joined the army and was shot during service I asume his parents would have been noticed. In fact he vanished and was not heard of any more. Have anyone out there any ideas how to go on? Righ now I am scanning swedish-spoken newspapers from Denver and Chicago. With greetings from Stockholm crister.lindstrom@bredband.net

Hey, if you find a site that lists victims of the strike, please let me know. We have been trying to find out the fate of two of our ancestors, Guido and Wm. Louis Schott.
