TODO: Description: Almquist, Otto-ask Susan where her info of 1924 death of suicide came from? Category: Death Certificate Date: 20 May 2009 Status: Open Type: 0 Priority: 8 Repository:


There is a discrepancy for his birth month. The Baptism record clearly shows November but 2 other records, the Household record and the Emigration record show his birth date as 1857 7/9. My mom remembers Uncle Otto died and she received a check for $25. That was a lot of money to her in 1924

(Medical):From notes done by Eliason family.

    Records completed for religious testing. Cannot determine date but will be between 1862-1871. No way to tell.
    Not all family members are present. Severina b. 1855 and Emanuel b. 1844 are missing. Severina may be listed with her husband if she is married. Or she may not have survived. Emanuel might be listed with his wife if he is married or he may have immigrated already (1869).
    1/8 means a farm that could feed 1/8 of a family since the number 1 represents a farm that could feed 1 family. The farms are split up between family members.
