Thanks, Martin. These dates are very close. It could be the same person. I'll have to look at these records. Gustaf and Martha did not have any children. I have no idea when (or if) they married. It wouldn't be the first time a man left a family and started over in a new place. There was another Gustaf Wennerberg in Chicago who died earlier. His widow, Helen, was in several Chicago city directories. I haven't found anything to indicate his age or occupation.

Thanks, Bo. It must be the same man. That is too great a coincidence. Someone must have been in touch with his family in Sweden to report his death. Maybe June 24 was when they got the news. Another mystery! Annette
