Mother of 6 children and 6 are still living. She and parents born in Sweden.
The year of immigration given is 1880. Read and write - yes, speak English - no.
Living with her is grandson Edmund LaSalle, age 24, b. Sweden.
In the Proof of Heirship given by son-in-law Peter LaSalle, her maiden name is listed Carrie Nelson, daughter of Joseph Nelson.
The Swedish patronymic tradition was to name people after their father's first name, adding "son" or "dotter", which leads to much confusion.
