Bill, Would this church have been called "Swedish Reform" sometime in the 1950's. . My husband lived on Ocean Ave. when very young and later on Bartholdi off Ocean few block from Danforth He says his grandmother (Constance Peterson) went to that church and was the only time she spoke Swedish to her old friends. I'm wondering if Bayview Cemetery could be the church she would be buried from? We live in AZ (today 1110%) and because of age 80/82 we are not able to travel so hope someone can help us find his grandmother's resting place.
