Banns were read on 5th February, 12th February and 19th February. August
Edvard Abdersson is recorded as a farmer's son (bondsson)
from Sinambo. He was born on 4 November 1866. Katharina Jonsdotter is
recorded as a farmer's daughter (bondsdotter)
from Sinambo. She was born on 14 May 1868.
Notes: August was born on 4 November 1866,
at Fiskartorp in Vårdinge parish, Stockholms län where his father was a
leaseholder (torpare). The family
lived at Fiskartorp until 1873 when they moved to Ängen, and then in 1876 to
Peterslund, both in Vårdinge parish. In 1879 Anders, Kristina and their two
youngest children, August and Emma moved to Frustuna parish back in
Södermanland. The family lived at No. 27 Tabergsberg C until 1880, then at
Johansdal A until 1881 and Gustafslund A until 1882 when his parents moved
to Söra No 1 but August moved away from home to live at Hallebro, also in
Frustuna parish, where he worked as a farmhand (dräng).
August moved to Solberga Uppgård in Gryt parish in 1884 and then back to
Hallebro in 1886, working in both places as a dräng.
In 1887 August moved back to his parents' home, now at Dalsäter in Frustuna
parish, remaining there until January 1893 when he moved to Ljusdal parish
in Gävleborgs län. He married Katharina Jonsdotter on 19 February 1893 in
Ljusdal, and lived with her at her widowed mother's farm, Simanbo No. 2,
where he is listed as a son-in-law (måg).
The couple had three children at Simanbo before moving to Bäckänger in 1902
where he is listed as a property owner (of a smaller property than a farm) (lägenhetseg)
and later adding that he is a construction carpenter (byggnadssnickare).
Katharina and August had three more children (one of whom died young) at
Bäckänge, where they lived until August committed suicide (självmord)
on 10 April 1924, seemingly using dyanmite (skgistit
sig med en dynamitpatron). He was buried in Ljusdal on 13 April
1924.

Sweden
The cause of death is listed as suicide (självmord)
- shot with a dynamite cartridge (skgistit
sig med en dynamitpatron)
Burial: 13 April 1924 in Ljusdal,
Gävleborgs, Sweden
Married: Augusta Sofia Johansdotter on 21
February 1880, in Kattnäs, Södermanland, Sweden
Banns were read on 18 January, 25 January and 1 February. Carl Gustaf
Andersson is recorded as born on 18 August 1858. He is a dräng
resident at Qvarntorp. Augusta Sophia Petersson is recorded as born on 15
November 1857, the daughter of Jan Peter Petersson, a forester (skogvaktare)
from Sjövreten. She is resident at Sjövreten.
Notes: Carl was born on 18 August 1858, at
Bomarsvik, Turinge, Stockholms län where his father worked first as a
farmhand (statdräng). He is noted
as a twin both in the födelsebok and in a number of the early
Husförhörslängd entries, but I have found no record of that other twin
(perhaps a stillborn twin?). Later in 1858 the family moved to Ogåndan, in
Överjärna parish, then moved back to Bomarsvik in 1859, to Mora in Överjärna
parish in 1860 and to Aspdalen in Ytterjärna parish, Stockholms län, in
1861. In 1863 Carl's father became a torpare
at Fiskartorp in Vårdinge parish, Stockholms län, where the family lived for
the next ten years. In 1873 Carl and family moved to Ängen, also in Vårdinge
parish and in 1876 they moved to Peterslund where they stayed until 1879. In
1879 Anders, Kristina and their two youngest children moved to Frustuna
parish back in Södermanland, but Carl moved instead to Qvarntorp in Kattnäs
parish in Södermanland, where he worked as a farmhand. Carl married Augusta
Sofia Petersson on 21 February 1880. Augusta was the daughter of a forester
who owned property at Sjövreten in Kattnäs parish, and Carl moved there in
April 1880, which was also when their first child, Carl August was born. The
young family moved to Alby back in Vårdinge parish in 1881 where Carl was a
dräng then in 1882 they moved to
nearby Höghult under Alby, where Carl was was a torpare.
Interestingly, Höghult is right next to Fiskartorp where Carl had spent ten
years of his childhood. Carl and Augusta lived at Höghult for the rest
of their lives, raising their seven children there. Around 1885 we see the
spelling of his name change to Karl. According to his son Axel, Karl
slaughtered for the farmers in the area. Some time between 1917 and 1921
Karl's designation changed from torpare
to arrendator at Höghult,
indicating a change in the terms of his lease on the farm from a contract
where he had to work a set number of days on the main farm to paying the
farm rent in cash. Karl died on 30 August 1924 in Södertälje hospital. He
was buried on 4 September 1924.
Death: 30 August 1924, in Södertälje
hospital (laserett), Södertälje,
Stockholms län, Sweden
The cause of death is listed as prostate cancer (ca[ncer]
prostata) leading to bladder hemorrhage (hæmorrhagia
vessica).
