Life in Sweden[4]

Gustaf was born in 1843 in Taby Forsamling (translation: Taby Congregation), Stockholm Lan, Sweden. In 1867, at age 24, he married Johanna Christina Carlsdotter, in Fleseryd, Kalmar Lan Socken, Sweden. One month later, in a different town (Wada Socken, Stockholm), their first son, Carl Gustav Lindstrom, was born.

In 1871 and 1872, in Vallentuna, Stockholm, Gustaf and Johanna gave birth to their second and third sons, August Julius Lindstrom and Johan Robert Lindstrom.

By 1874, the family had moved to Doderhult Soccken, Kalmer Lan. Here, they gave birth to their only daughter, Anna Christina Lindstrom, in 1874, and their fourth son Oscar Leanord Lindstrom, in 1877. Oscar was the last of Gustaf's and Johanna's children to be born in Sweden.

This map shows the regions in which Gustaf and Johanna lived together.

Emigration

Several of the family's later census records indicate the family emigrated in 1880. According to the Lindstrom Book:

When the Gustaf Lindstrom family embarked on their journey to America, they literally "set sail" because the Ship they came on was a combination Steam and Sail boat. If they became becalmed or ran in to head winds, it was easier to stay on course. Even so, it took six weeks to make the trip. [...]

Gustaf spent many hours in the "hold" of the ship peeling potatoes for the crew and passengers as part payment of his fare for himself and family. After they landed, the travel-weary family had another 1500 miles by train to Kearney, Nebraska.

How long they stayed in Kearney, I have no way of knowing. Gustaf had only 90 cents in his "poke" when he arrived, so no doubt the first thing on the agenda was to find some work.

Life in America[5]

The rest of Gustaf's and Johanna's family were born in Phelps County. Their fifth son Otto Rudolf Lindstrom was born in 1881. Their sixth son Emil Willjam Lindstrom was born in 1884. Later in 1884, their second son, August Julius, died. Two years later,their seventh son August Edvall Lindstrom was born in 1886.

This photo, presumably dating to 1887-1889 (because it includes August Edvall as a toddler) shows the nine surviving members of the family:

Just before August was born, in March of 1886, Gustav became an American citizen, as this certificate shows:

Homestead

Gustaf's homestead certificate (below), signed by President Grover Cleaveland on Feb 18, 1888, shows that he was granted the "Northwest Quarter of Section 6 of Township 7 of range 18 West of the Principal Meridian in Nebraska, the right tendency of: 151 acres by 90.1 acres."

Point "C" on this Google Map (image below) shows Gustaf's homestead, plus several other close-by Lindstrom locations. (See Locating Gustaf Lindstrom's Homestead for details.)

Homestead2.png

Gustaf and Johanna lived in a sod house on the homestead until they died. According to the Lindstrom Book, Charlie acquired a homestead on the next quarter section south of Gustaf's homestead (presumably in the 1890s). After Gustaf died in 1896, Johan moved onto the original homestead.

Historical Records

  • Gustav (age 41) and Hannah (age 40), and children Charlie (age 16), Robert (age 13), Anna (age 10), Oscar (age 8), Otto (age 4), and Emil (age 2) live in Williamsburg, Phelps County, Nebraska in the 1885 Nebraska Census.
    • According to Schedule 2 (Agricultural Production), the Lindstroms own 105 improved acres, and 55 unimproved. They valued their farm (land & buildings) at $1,600, their equipment at $200, and their livestock at $400.
    • Their farm output for 1884 totaled $482.
    • They owned 2 horses and 3 milk cows. During 1884, they "dropped" 1 cow and sold 1 (live).
    • They produced 225 lbs of butter. They produced 275 dozen eggs.
    • 30 acres of Indian corn produced 700 bushels. 5 acres of oats produced 60 bushels. 5 acres of rye produced 40 bushels. 25 acres of wheat produced 400 bushels. 30 acres of broom corn produced 6,900 lbs. 2 acres of Irish potatoes produced 45 bushels.
  • A 1903 Atlas of Center Township, Nebraska shows the location of Gustaf's plot, with son Carl's plot directly south
