AS: Erik Olof [2] (7 August 1913)Location: MinnesotaThings are going well for the Swedish emmigrant family. They have now lived in Minnesota for 15 years and the farm is getting bigger every year. They have been able to buy more land and they have never regretted that they left the hard life in Sweden. They have been blessed with 8 healthy children altough August and Kristina still mourn the death of little Anna.
They have also welcomed a little orphened boy to their family. Erik, the son to a single mother, was left on his own when the mother died in pneumonia. Kristina who was her friend, promised to take care of the little boy until family in Sweden had enough money to cross the Atlantic sea to take him home, but as time passed the Karlsson family realised that no one would come for Erik and they have now sent a letter to Erik's relatives in Sweden asking to adopt him offically.
