I’ve recovered an old photograph which has been identified as Nils JONSSON and his wife Johanna PETERSDOTTER.? The photograph was taken at the Immke Studio in Princeton, IL and sent to Mr. Gus CHALLGREN in Harcourt, IA.? Gus was married to their daughter Carrie.? Based on limited research I was able to gather the following information regarding the couple and their family:

?

Nils JONSSON or JOHNSON was b. 26 Sept 1854 in Holmby, Inalmihes Lan, Sweden to parents Jons OLSSON and Eljena NILSDOTTER (b. 1820).? Nils was one of three children born to this couple including Nils; Ola; and Mans JONSSON, all born between 1854 and 1865.? Nils married Johanna PETERSDOTTER (1854-1939) in 1876 in Reslov, Malmohus, Sweden and they had at least three children including, Anton Nilson (b. 1879); Carrie; and John JONSSON or JOHNSON.? Their son John changed his last name to HICKEY at some point in time.

?

Nils died 2 Nov 1919 in Dubuque, IA and is buried in the Pine View Cemetery in Delaware, OH.

?

I am hoping to locate someone from this family so that the photograph can be returned to the care of family.?? If you are a member of this family, or know someone who might be, please contact me.

Thanks,
