Mary and her husband, James, came to the U.S. in 1881. Note: Mary & her sister, Elna, married brothers, James & Peter. Note: James was the son of Swen Johnson. (Picture: Hilma, Ida, Charles, & Oscar with their parents, Mary & James) Note: After Lillian Swanson told Anna Cecilia Swanson that she found her brother crushed under a tree, Anna notified James and his son Charles. James, Charles, and Jame's nephew, Clarence Swanson, freed both John & Emil from the tree that crushed them to death. John was a brother to Mary and to Anna's father, August. Charles was married to Annie who was John's daughter. - James was listed as a dräng meaning male farmhand on his wedding record in Sweden, - In the 1900 Census, Jim & Mary are living in the Twp. of Hutchins, Shawano Co., WI. Jim is a farmer. Hilda Olson Swanson just died in January, and Jim & Mary have taken in the children to stay with them at this time. They are on the census as Annie Swanson, Carrie Swanson, Lilly Swanson, Sibyl Swanson, Abel Swanson, & Emil Swanson. It is funny, because Annie is listed as their neice, and then the census taker must have filled the rest out later, And since Swanson was a new entry, he put Carrie as the wife, and the other children as sons & daughters. WOW! What an error.

JJ3112 - Robert J. Peterson (MM12112) b9/19/1916 - d1931 - When Robert died, his parents were farming in the present location of the Frito Lay Potato testing farm in Starks, WI. Robert was a studious young men with poor eyesight. His greatest passion was reading, and his mother said that he would devour books. He was eternally patient with his younger brother Jim who was a real pest (what brother isn't) and a loving and kind son. One day, he and his best friend decided to take their horses and go out shooting rabbits. Jim, and Robert's friend's brother were the same age, and followed behind. Jim and the other boy were pretending they were squires, and that the older boys were knights, acting out something from the book "Ivanhoe." Jim was unclear about what happened, whether a rabbit startled the horse of Robert's friend or what, but the friend did not have his rifle cocked as he should have and wound up shooting Robert in the left side of his chest. Jim took off for the nearest residence and brought back a man with a truck to pick up Robert. Jim rode in the back. They took Robert to the Rhinelander hospital and someone called the parents who rushed there immediately. Jim was sitting in the hallway when his parents rushed in - Robert turned and said "Mother!" and died. Although the shot was with a 22 and had hit no vital organs, probably the jostling in the truck and the shock were what killed him. Robert's ambition was to be a Methodist preacher. His mother never got over his death. (Kathryn Peterson Merzouk)
