----- Original Message ----- From: "Brinnon Nurse" <jym522@earthlink.net> > I am searching for any information about Edith Johnson, from Norrkoping, Sweden and came here when she was 14 or so. She married my Grandfather, Sabo Poolman and they resided in Sumner, WA. Thank you for any help > Sabo Poolman died January 26, 1950; his obituary is in the Tacoma Tribune on January 27, 1950, Page 19. There is also a Carl P Poolman that died on 9 Apr 1959, his obit is in the 19 April Tribune on page C4. There is a John H Poolman that died on Dec 23, 1981, his obit is in the 29 December Tribune on page B12. The Washington State Death Index shows Sabo as above. There was a John that died 11 February 1942, and a Herman that died 1 Feb 1948, both in Seattle. In the 1930 Census, there were two Edith Poolman in Washington. One was an Edith A Poolman, age 30, in Seattle. The second, Edith Poolman, age 44, born about 1885, living in Sumner, WA. The actual page shows Sabo, Theresa-daughter age 21, John-son age 17 It shows Sabo has being born in Holland. He immigrated in 1886. She immigrated in 1900, which would have been at age 14, as you said. Sabo spoke Dutch, was a hardware merchant. Theresa was a bookkeeper in a hardware store...probably her fathers? John had no occupation. The 1920 Census showed Sabo, Edith, Carl P-son age 14, Thersa (spelled different than in 1930), Blanch-daughter age 9, and John H-son age 6. Sabo was a florist in a greenhouse. Other Poolman in 1920 was John age 37 in Seattle, Peter age 64 in Granite Falls, Snohomish County, Washington; all three were born in Holland. I'm guessing Peter may have been their father? There was also a Gustave age 47 born in Norway, in Spokane. That is what I have readily found, ROn Bestrom
