MM53-Nels (Nils) Olaf Swanson (Nils Olof Svensson) 4/4/1847 Säbyholm,Skåne,Sweden d1921Chuluota,Seminole,FL m1878 Chicago,Cook,IL Charlotta Anderson-Notes: Nels moved to Helsingborg in 1864. Nels and his brother John were blacksmiths. They learned their trade in Sweden by working five years without pay. Nels left for America in 1869 and worked in Philadelphia for Bladwin Locomotive; then in Chicago for Pullman Car. Nels invented and patented the "Self-Car Coupler" used on railcars to this day. The family had his wooden patterns, but a fire at a later date destroyed them. Nels and his brother John went to Wisconsin and did smith work for the Green Bay and Western Railroad. They also worked for the Union Pacific, tunneling through the mountains to Bakersfield, CA. [I am sure that this must be what is now known as the Tehachapi Grade. (John Garfield Swanson of CO)]  Nels returned to Sweden briefly and possibly was accompanied by Peter, Mary, and Elna. Nels then returned to the US, and with John worked for the Homestake Mine in Lead, SD. (V. E. Swanson, Jr. of Victoria, TX) After his marriage to Charllota Anderson in Chicago, they returned to Lead where their son Lawrence was born. A deed was made 1/31/1881 for property sold to N. O. Swanson from Harman Carl which measured about 50 x 100 feet with a tiny house on it between West Terraville and Central City. The Minlerina lode claim was sold from John G. Miller to N. O. Swanson on 1/11/1881 for $1,000. This was located to the east of Lead off of Hwy 85, between Hwy 85 and the Whitewood Creek to the south. - Incoming Freight from Bismarck for N.O. Swanson (Black Hills Daily Pioneer 12/27/1878,p1,c3) - Mrs. N. O. Swanson leaves Deadwood (BH Daily Times 10/19/1882,p3,c5) - Arrival from Sidney, N.O. Swanson (BH Daily Times,1/1/1884,p3,c3) - Lawrence County Treasurer Advertises Delinquent Tax for Terraville, Nels Swanson & many others (BH Daily Times, 9/5/1885,p3,c1) - For health reasons he then moved to Chuluota, FL. He set out orange trees. Son Adolph was born there. In 1895, a big freeze destroyed the orange trees and Nels returned to Lead and the mines. In 1902, he is listed in the Sherman's Belt Cities Directory of Lead as being a blacksmith at the Homestake Mine and residing at 524 Miners Avenue in Lead. His son, Lawrence is listed in the same directory as a Blacksmith's Helper and residing at the same address. In the early 1900's, he moved to Bayate, Oriente Province, Cuba, which was near Santiago. In 1912, they returned to Chuluota and lived there until his death.  (The families in the north lost tract of Nils and Peter of TX for awhile, until a lawyer tracted them down) Invention: Car Brake and Coupling, No. 258,264, patented May 23, 1882 under Nils Olof Swenson of Terraville, Dakota Territory.

When I worked for Chicago & Northwestern Railroad in Green Bay, I pulled many a pin from those couplers. I watched a program on trains on the history channel, and they were talking about the development of that coupler.

- The community of Washington increased by arrival of a little girl, presented to Mrs. John Swanson. (Black Hills Daily Times, 5/2/1885,p4,c2) - Mrs. John Swanson of Lead is confined to her room with a severe cold that may result in pneumonia. (Black Hills Daily Times, 3/12/1887,p2,c3) Mrs. John Swanson of Lead is seriously ill with pneumonia. (Black Hills Daily Times, 3/27/1888,p4,c3) John Swanson of Lead, is the papa of a 15 pound boy. (Black Hills Daily Times, 6/17/1886,p2,c4) Hulda was in bad health while she was expecting Lilly, she took the children and spent the remainder of her pregnancy in FL at the home of Nils Swanson; thus, Lilly was born in FL. Hulda knew she was not going to live before Christmas in 1899. She sewed by hand each child his or her clothes worn in the picture below. She then had their picture taken together and each one individually. (The picture below)Note: After sending the children to WI, John stayed on for a couple of years in Lead, but got so lonesome that he quit his job and went to WI to be with his family. He built the farm pictured below. Later, he and Emil went logging. Lillie and Abel missed them and went looking for them. They found them both crushed beneath the same tree, something about one tree getting hung up in another. Every bone in John's body was crushed. John was a very good friend of the local undertaker. The undertaker was so shook up at the awful condition of John's body, the he drank a lot of coffee before he got up the nerve to work on the body. - John was on the Town Board of the Town of Hutchins Twp. And also the head of the Board of the Lake May School. He held local offices even though not a naturalized citizen. - Obit of Hulda, Evening Call, 1/17/1900 Lead, SD: A Mother Taken, Once more the hand of death has entered one of our most happy homes and taken from it the precious soul of a mother and wife. Deceased. is Hulda, Wife of John M. Swanson, of Washington Addition, and the cause of death was typhoid fever. She was 42 years and 14 days old, and besides her husband, leaves six small children, who are as follows: Anna, 14 years, Carrie 12, Lilly 10, Sibyl 6, Abel 4, & Emil 2. Mr. Swanson came to the Hills in 1877, and married in 1880. Mrs. Swanson came to the Hills from Sioux City, where she has two brothers who have been telegraphed for and will probably be present to attend the funeral. No permanent arrangements can be made until her brothers have been heard from, but the remains will no doubt be laid to rest in the Masonic Cemetery, and under the auspices of that order, of which Mr. Swanson has been a member since 1884. In the death of this lovely and estimable woman many hearts have been burdened with grief and sympathy for the stricken husband, and the pitiful little angels that have been deprived of the dearest and sweetest consolation that can ever be theirs through life, are heard on every hand. As a woman, Mrs. Swanson was loved by all who knew her, and as a wife was ever kind, true, & faithful, at all times bearing the burdens of life with the grace and patience of a devout christian, while as a mother she was a ministering angel, sacrificing every comfort to the little lives that she loved with the richness and fulness known only to the heart of a fond & loving mother.

MM54331-Duane A. Blodgett b11/29/1934 Janesville,WI - d8/13/1948 Janesville, WI,USA Bur: Woodlawn Cemetery Comments: Duane Blodgett & Leonard Johnson was baling hay in the morning and when they finished, they took the tractor & baler (Duane driving & Leonard on the baler) over to Road and headed north towards the farm of Edwin Johnson. When they reached County Road D, Duane stopped at the stop sign, stood up on the tractor and leaned forward to be able to see both ways down the road. No one was coming, so he turned right onto D and then left into Uncle Ed's place. Ed asked Leonard to make some adjustments on a piece of machinery, so they could start baling. Leonard asked Ed if his horses were rider safe, if Duane could ride one while he was waiting. Ed said no problem, go ahead. So Duane got up on the horse while it stood still and started riding him. He came past Leonard where he was working, at that moment the adjustment Leonard was making made a loud squeaking noise, and Duane commented to Leonard as he passed "The horse shied a little." When he got past and out into the field, the horse started rearing in an effort to get Duane off. Leonard yelled to Duane to jump off. He said Duane acted stunned or had fainted, and didn't move, and then he fell off, catching his foot in the harness, which dragged him under the horse. George Wolf runs out to the field to Duane, and he took his last breath. Leonard would not go out to Duane. They had been very close. The back of Duane's head was crushed, and his chest was crushed. In the spring, Duane had had pneumonia, and he almost died. (Source: Leonard Johnson) Also, when younger the family had had an automobile accident, and Duane had face scars from the glass. The accident happened on a county crossroads. It was thought that Duane would eventually go blind from that accident. (Source: Gladys Amerson) Member of the Mattoon Nazarene Church.
