ALMA ANDERSON
Sept. 29, 1886 - 1967

Alma was the second child born to August and Charlotte.

Alma married Otto Nystrom in . Otto was a lumberjack by trade and worked for the government co-op.

My dad worked with Otto as teenager and so did David. My dad told me that he was cutting wood with Otto and that he became too hot and lay down in a snow drift to cool off. As a result, he contacted pneumonia and almost died.

Alma and Otto remained in Sweden and had 10 children in the following order: Fritz*, Knute, Lisa, Inga*, Erik*, Majja*, Marta*, Rune, Kajsa, and Sven. Those marked with an asterisk are deceased as of this publication date.

I have not seen any of the children and did not know their named until June 1990. I had wondered about them all my life and of course, my dad never knew all of them as there were several births after his visit in 1920.

In the summer of 1989, Myrtle, Mable and Marge went to Sweden for a visit. They stayed in the homes of Lisa and Sven-Erik, Knute, Sven and Kajsa came to Lisa's home to see them. Also, Lisa's daughter and son-in-law Ise and Inge Bjornson were there.

Otto born 1885 died 1958.
