Hannah Iverson’s Obituary Another former Polk County settler passed away last Wednesday, November 7, when Mrs. Hanna Iverson died at her home in Taylors Falls at the age of 81 years, 10 months and 2 days. Mrs. Iverson had been in poor health for a long time, being afflicted with dropsey, and was bed- ridden for the past three months. Hanna Iverson was born in Sweden and lived her early life in that country, emigrating to this country when twenty-five years of age, making her home in Chicago, Ill, for a short time. She moved from that city to Minneapolis. She was united in marriage to John Iverson, March 6, 1873, to which union six children were born. Leaving Minneapolis in 1892, they came to Wolf Creek and made their home until 1910 when they moved to Taylors Falls. Mr. Iverson preceded her in death. Funeral services were held Saturday afternoon at the M.E. church at Taylors Falls, and burial was made at the Wolf Creek cemetery. Rev. John Lowe of Taylor Falls conducted the funeral services.

In the death of Mrs. Iverson, this entire community loses an old and respected citizen, whose aim in life was to help others in every possible way.

Iverson of Devils Lake, M.D., Mr. and Mrs. Willie Hoover, Mr. and Mrs. Elias Hoover and Mr. and Mrs. 1I.S. Hoover and children of Superior. November 12, 1928 Standard Press St. Croix Falls, MN.

Surnames: Swenson, Shaleen, Martin, Erlanson, Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/RGB.2ACE/80.1 Message Board Post: I found this write up of a Henry A. Swenson, I don't know if it connects, but has some similarities. Maybe you can find some connections or places to look in this write up. Good luck. Henry A. Swenson, county surveyor, was born at Chisago City, Minn., July 12, 1857, and was educated in the public scholls of his native township, the grammar schools of Taylors Falls, Minn., and at Carlton college, Northfield, Minn. Like other boys of his period he helped on the farm during his school days. From 1874 to 1876, while still in his teens, he taught school in Chisago and Isanti counties and for a part of two years, 1877-78, was clerk in the office of the state superintendent of public instruction. He then worked in the engineering department of the St. Paul & Duluth railroad as assistant chief engineer, from 1881 to 1890. He was in the real estate business at West Superior, now Superior, Wis., from 1890 to 1892, and a part of this time was government inspector of the harbor improvements at Superior. In 1893-95 he engaged in private engineering and surveying in Chisago and adjoining counties. From 1896 to 1902 he was assistant engineer for the Great Norther! n, Great Western, St. Paul & Duluth and Northern Pacific railroads and the St. Paul Union Depot Company. In 1902 he took charge of the drainage work in Chisago, Washington and Isanti counties, in which position he is serving at the present time. In 1899 he opened a civil engineering office in St. Paul, which he still conducts. In 1906 he was elected to his present position as surveyor of the county. He is a member of the Civil Engineering Society of St. Paul and also of the Commercial Club of St. Paul. Henry A. Swenson is the son of John and Sarah (Shaleen) Swenson. The former was born in Sweden and came to Chisago county, Minn., in 1855, being one of the earliest settlers in the county. Her first settled at Chisago City and after residing in that village for a short time purchased a farm in Chisago Lake township, which he improved and where he carried on general farming and stock raising to some extent until the time of his death. In the old country he studied and taught music and was organist for a large congregation. He died at his home on the farm at about sixty-five years of age. His widow survived him, dying in January, 1908. Both were member of the Swedish Lutheran church and are buried at Lindstrom. The father was a public spirited man, and while in the old country was a teacher in the parochial schools in connection with his profession as organist. To Mr. and Mrs. Henry A. Swenson were born eight children: John Alfred is cashier of the Scandinavian-Americ! an Bank at St. Paul; Henry A. Swenson is the second son; Oscar W. resides at Merriam Park, St. Paul, being superintendent for Foley Brothers, railroad contractors; Olive Agnes is the wife of George W. Martin, of Duluth, Minn.; Jennie C. died at the age of twenty-four years. She is the wife of Frank Erlanson, of Marine, Minn. Emily F., unmarried, died at Lindstrom in January, 1908. Two others died in infancy.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I could learn about John P. Bemer's origins?

Sounds like Rush city to me, there should be a birth record in the chisago county court house, If not a local church or newspaper. check the 1870 census for rush city and see if there are any bremers there or close by. check the cemetery records for the county and see if the bremers are buried anywhere, if it is a church it might be where the family records are. After May 9, I might be able to help you more, right now am up to my eyeballs in costumes, first dress rehearsal is tomorrow night. sue On 4 May 2003 14:20:53 -0600 mollx@hotmail.com writes: > This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. > > Surnames: Bemer, Lynch, O'Donnell > Classification: Query > > Message Board URL: > > http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/RGB.2ACE/83 > > Message Board Post: > > Chicago IL 1880 federal census (possible) is a John Van Bramer, age > 18, occupation "Frescoer"; living alone. > > July 13, 1895 - Chicago, Cook Co IL marriage record; > groom was John P.

SHALEEN (photo about 1917 of confirmation class), who may or may not be related to me. I later find him in the 1930 census living in St. Paul with his wife, Alma M., maiden name KROONBLAWD. (He died 26 April 1932 in Ramsey Co. She died 2 February 1973 in Chisago County.) They had two children, Farrel L. SHALEEN, born about 1922, and Duane William SHALEEN, born 11 March 1930 presumably in St Paul (as he appears on the census there), died 4 January 1975 in Chisago County. If anyone knows anything further about Oscar W. SHALEEN or his wife Alma M. KROONBLAWD (mother's maiden name ANDERSON), I'd appreciate hearing from you.
