• Notes

  Per Anders Bengtsson 1Nov2016: When their mother died, their father remarried in 1910 to Emilia Johansson (1871-1962), a rather harsh and stern lady. It is said in the family that she and Lily began to quarrel and in 1913, Lily decided to go abroad to the U.S. as soon as she was confirmed. She went along with a female friend (I don't know the name) and a bunch of woven carpets (specially Swedish ones ? called trasmattor) with the ocean liner "Mauretania" to New York in September 1913. My mother has a post card written by Lily when they had passed Ellis Island, "and all was well". From there they soon went along to Minneapolis and (according to family history) first stayed at the friends relatives. Lilly and my grandfather Knut wrote to each other all their lives, and she also wrote (in later years) to my mother, especially for Christmas. In those letters she always tried to write in Swedish. But she never went back to visit.
