| 8 | C. O. inherited the farm his father (Christian) had purchased in Stocking, Precinct. C. O. is remembered as a wonderful man. He was friendly, ambitious, a good worker and a good mechanic. He was the Engineer for a threshing gang. He also sanell. Carl Oscar Pearson was born in Chapman precinct near Weston on his parents' farm. He attended public schools until he was 17 or 18 years old. He then worked full time with his father on the farm. When he was 25, he began farming on his own.a Marie Olive Ekdahl was born in Mariposa precinct near Weston. She attended local public schools. After they were married, Oscar and Milsa moved to a farm one mile west of Weston. While living there, Milsa gave birth to a daughter who died shorortly after birth. Their son Malvin was also born at that farm. In 1908, after the death of Oscar's father, they moved to the 160 acre farm in Stocking precinct which Oscar inherited. Their other three children were born there. Oscar was left the farm debt free by his father, but his sister Lida, who exerted considerable influence over their mother, had a $3,000 lien put on the farm. Oscar mortgaged the farm to pay the lien. By the time World War I began, most of the Swedish colony in the area were second and third generation Americans. The use of the Swedish language was decreasing. In Oscar's and Milsa's situation, they learned Swedish from their parents. Theirialects were different and Oscar found Milsa's dialect amusing. Consequently, she would not speak Swedish to him, although she spoke in Swedish to her grandparents, John and Christina Frostrom. Also, Swedish had been the language used in the area churches formed by Swedes in the last half of the 19th century. During World War I, non-Swedish members of the community objected to Swedish being spoken at these churches. They claimed that the language being used was either German or so similar to German that speaking it was unpatriotic. Due to this pressure, congregations stopped speaking Swedish in the area churches. Oscar remained farming his entire life. He was friendly, ambitious, a good worker, and a good mechanic. After he died, Milsa moved with her son Lloyd, a bachelor, to a house in Wahoo. After Lloyd died, Milsa continued to live in the house ul 1971 when she moved to a rest home in Wahoo. The home farm was acquired by Norman. PAST AND PRESENT OF SAUNDERS COUNTY: Oscar Pearson, a son of Christian Pearson, was born in Chapman precinct, July 12, 1879, and attended the common schools until he was seventeen or eighteen years of age. He then devoted his entire time to assisting his father with the farm wk, so continuing until he was twenty-five years old. At that time he began farming on his own account and after keeping his bachelor's hall for a year he was married. He removed with his bride to a farm one mile east of Weston, where they resideed for three years, after which he took up his residence upon his father's farm in Stocking precinct. He has since remained upon that place, which comprises one hundred and sixty acres of excellent land and is well improved. He carries on generaal farming and receives a good income from his labors. He married Miss Milsa Ekdahl, a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. August O. Ekdahl, the former of whom is deceased, while the later lives in Weston. To this union have been born three children; Malvin and Mildred, both attending school in Swedeburg; and Lloyd, and infant. Mr. Pearson is independent in politics, voting for the man rather than the party. He is industrious and displays sound judgment in the management of his affairs, and the success which he has gained is well deserved.

| 12 | Linus was born on his grandfather's farm, where his parents were living at the time. When he was about one year old, the family moved from the farm to a small house in Swedeburg, where they lived for a couple of years. The family moved baco the farm after Augustinus inherited it in 1912. Linus went to a one room elementary school near the farm for grades 1 through 8, and next attended grades 9 and 10 in Swedeburg. To finish high school, he then went to Luther Academy in Wahoo for two years. Linus spent his non-school time doing farm work. Mildred was born on her parents' farm. She went to a two room elementary school in Swedeburg for 10 years. She went on to attend the high school in Wahoo for the next two years, and graduated from that school. During her two years at the high school, she boarded with families in Wahoo from Monday through Friday and returned to her folks' farm near Swedeburg for weekends. To pay her board the first year in Wahoo, MMildred baby-sat and ironed for her host family. In addition, her parents provided that family with butter, eggs, and cream. During her last year in high school, Mildred's parents paid her board with that year's host family. After she graduated, she moved back to her parent's farm. She spent most of the winters for the next nine years working as a domestic for families in Omaha. The rest of the time, she helped with the chores on her parents' farm. Linus and Mildred knew each other since childhood, as their family farms were only about three miles apart. They went together for seven years before they were married. Linus was a farmer for his entire working life; Mildred was a housewife. Beginning a couple of years before their marriage, Linus farmed on some land he rented and raised livestock. After they were married, they moved to a farmhouse one mil west of Linus' parents' farm. Around this time, Linus began to farm his parents' land. In the fall of 1936, Linus' parents moved from the family farm to Ceresco; Linus and Mildred moved to the family farm where they lived for more than forty years. Linus' father Augustinus had inherited the family farm debt free in 1912. Augustinus did not actively farm after 1912 and mortgaged the land over the years. After Linus began to manage the family farm in 1936, Augustinus was able to reducee mortgage substantially, using the income generated from the harvests. Corn and soybeans were the main crops grown, and occasionally milo and winter wheat. The farm was almost paid off when Augustinus and Hermanda died in the late 1940s. Durinng the next 20 years or so, Linus gradually bought out the equity of his brothers and sisters. At various time, Linus also had livestock, buying and raising calves until they were ready for slaughter. Linus and Mildred added to the home farm's 200 acres by buying an additional 40 acres in the 1960s. Their three children attended elementary school at a one room schoolhouse, which was a short walk from the family farm. At one time, the school teacher boarded at the farm. Shortly after he took over management of the farm, Linus became concerned about the amount of soil in the fields that was regularly washed away. To reverse this loss, he tried contour farming. Although helpful, this technique did not ret with the full soil conservation he desired. His pursuit of effective conservation continued and he attended a demonstration on terracing, a new concept in farming. At this demonstration, he saw that terracing protected contour farming by coconserving soil and moisture. He began to construct terraces on the farm in 1945. He found that terracing along with contour farming kept the silt from washing away. He proceeded to protect all the fields with terraces and waterways, and farmemed on contours parallel to the terraces. In recognition of his pioneer efforts in terrace farming, the Saunders County Soil and Conservation District gave the family the Conservation Farm Family award in 1964. The Omaha Herald also recognized Linus' conservation efforts. In the fall of 1941, Linus purchased a modern corn picker. He wasn't sure if he could really afford this purchase. His father-in-law and brother-in-law, C. O. and Norm Pearson, who jointly farmed nearby, agreed to buy a share of the corn pir. World War II began a couple of months later and the manufacturing of all farm equipment was suspended. The acquisition of the picker prove to be a wise investment and the envy of the neighboring farmers. Except for the years Linus' brother Joe spent in the Army in World War II, Joe lived on the farm until he was married. Their brother Loyd also lived on the farm except for the time he spent in the Navy during and shortly after the War. Mild prepared meals, washed clothes, and kept house for the entire family. Linus and Loyd farmed jointly and usually worked around 700 acres - the home farm plus land they rented. After Joe was married, he and his family lived on their Uncle Herman's farm just west of the home farm and the brothers often farmed together. Early in his farming career, Linus saw the economic advantages of farmers working cooperatively, and became active in the Ceresco Farmers Co-op. In the early stages, the Co-op purchased large quantities of fuel for its members at a rate lessan what the farmers would pay individually. Linus later joined the Wahoo Co-op and the Saunders County Co-op. He was active in all three Co-ops simultaneously. It was said that Linus did not talk very much at meetings, but his input was always worth listening to. He served on the Board of all three Co-ops and for several years was the chairman of the Wahoo Co-op. Under his leadership, the Wahoo Co-op expanded significantly. In addition to fuel, the Co-ops purchased fertilizer, seed, and other farm supplies and equipment. When the children were growing up, family activities usually involved visiting relatives. Often on Sundays, they drove to Omaha to visit Linus' sister Nellie Ann and her family. At Easter, they would drive to Oklahoma and stay with Linus'ter Bernice and her family. During the 1950s, the family spent several summer vacations at a lake in Minnesota. As with most farms during the 1930s, a series of droughts took their toll and there were several lean years. The crops were generally very good in the 1940s. During some bad farming years in the 1950s, Linus worked in construction in Lincolnd Mildred worked for a short time at a hospital in Wahoo. Weather in the 1960s was mixed and there was a crop failure in 1970. Around that time when Linus thought about retirement, he was concerned on how they would make it financially, as the farm was still mortgaged. He felt that he might have to find some part time work after he retired from farming. As things turned out, the early 1970s brought a few years of excellent weather and high crop prices. Linus was able to retire in 1974, with the farm completely paid for. He even bought a new car. Linus and Mildred lived at the farm for four more years. Shortly after Linus retired, Loyd married and moved to Wahoo. Linus kept up a large vegetable garden as a retiremenment project. Linus and Mildred sold the farm house with 10 acres of land in 1978, and bought and moved into a house in Ceresco. They kept the farmland, which Loyd farmed until he retired. Then Mildred's nephew Kent took over farming the land. Mildred continued to live in the Ceresco house after Linus died in 1982, and moved to a rest home in Wahoo where she has lived since 1996. Beginning in the early 1970s, Linus and Mildred spent the Christmas seasons in California with their children, Jack and Ann, and their families. Lee would usually join them there. Most of the time, Linus and Mildred drove on these trips.y usually went through Arizona where they visited Linus' sister Nellie Ann, and stopped in Oklahoma to visit another sister Bernice and her family. They liked to travel and do different things when they came to California. They enjoyed site seeing and going out to restaurants. For several years, Linus, Jack, and Randy went deep sea fishing during the annual visits. After Linus died, Mildred continued to spend Thanksgiving and Christmas in California for several more years. Linus and Mildred were both quiet and reserved people. They had mild temperaments and did not complain about things. They were both sociable and liked to talk to relatives, friends, people they had just met or even to strangers. They werery devoted to their family. Like his father, Linus read a lot and could discuss a variety of subjects. He read books, magazines, and newspapers, and also liked to do crossword puzzles. He enjoyed watching baseball games on television. Mildred was an excellent cook and dedicated farm wife. She liked to crochet. At one time, she was an officer in the Saunders County Good Neighbors Extension Club. They were both active members of Grace Lutheran Church, a church that Linus' grandfather co-founded. Linus served as church deacon and for many years was the treasurer of the Church's cemetery. Mildred was active in the church's women's group, serving in various officer posts, including president and secretary.

During her last year in high school, Mildred's parents paid her board with that year's host family. After she graduated, she moved back to her parent's farm. She spent most of the winters for the next nine years working as a domestic for families in Omaha. The rest of the time, she helped with the chores on her parents' farm. Linus and Mildred knew each other since childhood, as their family farms were only about three miles apart. They went together for seven years before they were married. Linus was a farmer for his entire working life; Mildred was a housewife. Beginning a couple of years before their marriage, Linus farmed on some land he rented and raised livestock. After they were married, they moved to a farmhouse one milst of Linus' parents' farm. Around this time, Linus began to farm his parents' land. In the fall of 1936, Linus' parents moved from the family farm to Ceresco; Linus and Mildred moved to the family farm where they lived for more than forty years. Linus' father Augustinus had inherited the family farm debt free in 1912. Augustinus did not actively farm after 1912 and mortgaged the land over the years. After Linus began to manage the family farm in 1936, Augustinus was able to reduceortgage substantially, using the income generated from the harvests. Corn and soybeans were the main crops grown, and occasionally milo and winter wheat. The farm was almost paid off when Augustinus and Hermanda died in the late 1940s. Durinng the next 20 years or so, Linus gradually bought out the equity of his brothers and sisters. At various time, Linus also had livestock, buying and raising calves until they were ready for slaughter. Linus and Mildred added to the home farm's 200 acres by buying an additional 40 acres in the 1960s. Their three children attended elementary school at a one room schoolhouse, which was a short walk from the family farm. At one time, the school teacher boarded at the farm. Shortly after he took over management of the farm, Linus became concerned about the amount of soil in the fields that was regularly washed away. To reverse this loss, he tried contour farming. Although helpful, this technique did not reth the full soil conservation he desired. His pursuit of effective conservation continued and he attended a demonstration on terracing, a new concept in farming. At this demonstration, he saw that terracing protected contour farming by coconserving soil and moisture. He began to construct terraces on the farm in 1945. He found that terracing along with contour farming kept the silt from washing away. He proceeded to protect all the fields with terraces and waterways, and farmemed on contours parallel to the terraces. In recognition of his pioneer efforts in terrace farming, the Saunders County Soil and Conservation District gave the family the Conservation Farm Family award in 1964. The Omaha Herald also recognized Linus' conservation efforts. In the fall of 1941, Linus purchased a modern corn picker. He wasn't sure if he could really afford this purchase. His father-in-law and brother-in-law, C. O. and Norm Pearson, who jointly farmed nearby, agreed to buy a share of the corn. World War II began a couple of months later and the manufacturing of all farm equipment was suspended. The acquisition of the picker prove to be a wise investment and the envy of the neighboring farmers. Except for the years Linus' brother Joe spent in the Army in World War II, Joe lived on the farm until he was married. Their brother Loyd also lived on the farm except for the time he spent in the Navy during and shortly after the War. Mildepared meals, washed clothes, and kept house for the entire family. Linus and Loyd farmed jointly and usually worked around 700 acres - the home farm plus land they rented. After Joe was married, he and his family lived on their Uncle Herman's farm just west of the home farm and the brothers often farmed together. Early in his farming career, Linus saw the economic advantages of farmers working cooperatively, and became active in the Ceresco Farmers Co-op. In the early stages, the Co-op purchased large quantities of fuel for its members at a rate len what the farmers would pay individually. Linus later joined the Wahoo Co-op and the Saunders County Co-op. He was active in all three Co-ops simultaneously. It was said that Linus did not talk very much at meetings, but his input was always worth listening to. He served on the Board of all three Co-ops and for several years was the chairman of the Wahoo Co-op. Under his leadership, the Wahoo Co-op expanded significantly. In addition to fuel, the Co-ops purchased fertilizer, seed, and other farm supplies and equipment. When the children were growing up, family activities usually involved visiting relatives. Often on Sundays, they drove to Omaha to visit Linus' sister Nellie Ann and her family. At Easter, they would drive to Oklahoma and stay with Linusr Bernice and her family. During the 1950s, the family spent several summer vacations at a lake in Minnesota. As with most farms during the 1930s, a series of droughts took their toll and there were several lean years. The crops were generally very good in the 1940s. During some bad farming years in the 1950s, Linus worked in construction in Lincd Mildred worked for a short time at a hospital in Wahoo. Weather in the 1960s was mixed and there was a crop failure in 1970. Around that time when Linus thought about retirement, he was concerned on how they would make it financially, as the farm was still mortgaged. He felt that he might have to find some part time work after he retired from farming. As things turned out, the early 1970s brought a few years of excellent weather and high crop prices. Linus was able to retire in 1974, with the farm completely paid for. He even bought a new car. Linus and Mildred lived at the farm for four more years. Shortly after Linus retired, Loyd married and moved to Wahoo. Linus kept up a large vegetable garden as a retiremenment project. Linus and Mildred sold the farm house with 10 acres of land in 1978, and bought and moved into a house in Ceresco. They kept the farmland, which Loyd farmed until he retired. Then Mildred's nephew Kent took over farming the land. Mildred continued to live in the Ceresco house after Linus died in 1982, and moved to a rest home in Wahoo where she has lived since 1996. Beginning in the early 1970s, Linus and Mildred spent the Christmas seasons in California with their children, Jack and Ann, and their families. Lee would usually join them there. Most of the time, Linus and Mildred drove on these trips.y ully went through Arizona where they visited Linus' sister Nellie Ann, and stopped in Oklahoma to visit another sister Bernice and her family. They liked to travel and do different things when they came to California. They enjoyed site seeing and going out to restaurants. For several years, Linus, Jack, and Randy went deep sea fishing during the annual visits. After Linus died, Mildred continued to spend Thanksgiving and Christmas in California for several more years. Linus and Mildred were both quiet and reserved people. They had mild temperaments and did not complain about things. They were both sociable and liked to talk to relatives, friends, people they had just met or even to strangers. They wereryvoted to their family. Like his father, Linus read a lot and could discuss a variety of subjects. He read books, magazines, and newspapers, and also liked to do crossword puzzles. He enjoyed watching baseball games on television. Mildred was an excellent cook and dedicated farm wife. She liked to crochet. At one time, she was an officer in the Saunders County Good Neighbors Extension Club. They were both active members of Grace Lutheran Church, a church that Linus' grandfather co-founded. Linus served as church deacon and for many years was the treasurer of the Church's cemetery. Mildred was active in the church's women's group, serving in various officer posts, including president and secretary.

Is this a relative? - It appears that a group of people from Askeryd (his wife's ancestral parish) emigrated together and may have even ended up together in Lancaster County. Would be interesting to trace their movements as a group. There may be possible family connections, especially through Carl's wife's family. - It would be good to track all of Carl's nieces and nephews to see who came to America. We know for certain that Gust and two sisters did, as well as another nephew John Rudeen (son of Carl's sister Sophia). | Johansson, Carl August (I1542)

| 32 | 3 MISSIONARY PIONEERS AND SOME WHO HAVE FOLLOWED THEM OTHERS WHO HAVE GONE TO CHINA IN MEMORIAM In the footsteps of Dr. Edwins, the pioneer to China, many other Augustana men and women have gone out to assist int he ingathering of the great harvest. Each one has been faithful and diligent with his God-given talents and each one would desrve a chapter. Space does not permit us here to say much about each one, but we desire to make a brief statement about those who have finished their course. Several of them fell in the midst of the battle for the Lord as soldiers on the front lilines of the Church, some of them while very young, all of them while yet it would seem that years of useful service might lie ahead. But God knows what is best for His servants and for His Church. He gathers home His laborers, but His work moves on. MRS. ALFRED TRUED Mrs. Theolina Trued spent nineteen years in the China service as the wife of Dr. Alfred Trued. She also took an active part in the missionary work. She was born in Swedeburg, Nebraska, October 6, 1875. Her early years were spent in this community, where she studied music and served for a number of years as organist and choir director of the local Lutheran church. In 1908 she was married to Pastor Alfred Trued, who had accepted a call to China, the first pastor to go out to assist Pastor Edwins in Honan. They arrived in Honan Thanksgiving Day, 1908. "She had a great ambition for work and loved especially the work amoung the women. The first station assigned to the Trueds was Juchow. She accompanied her husband to that place, where they made their home in a big Chinese room, divided intoller one by means of bamboo partitions covered with paper. Later on property was purchased and a home was built." (Thirty Years in China, p. 186). She came home to America in 1927 due to the political disturbance in China. Shortly afterwards her husband also returned and later accepted a call to Stromsburg, Nebraska. After a year of gradually failing health she died April 17, 1936. Shes survived by her husband and two children, Eleonora and Constantine. Bibliography: Thirty Years in China, pp. 186-187. S.

| 33 | A LIFE OVER THREE CENTURIES Roseburg Oregon News-Review, January 18, 2005 Roseburg Woman Turns 109 When Roseburg resident Viki Sheldon was a little girl, she couldn't pronounce the word grandma," so she took to calling her grandmother "Bunny." That name has stuck with Ruth Trued for decades, but lately it's taken on a different meaning. Sheldon jokes that her grandmother, who turned 109 years old on Saturday, is like the Energizer Bunny. "She just keeps going," she said, smiling. Born in 1896, Trued is one of the oldest women in Oregon. "She must be at least in Douglas County," Sheldon said, "and probably in Oregon, I would think." According to the 2000 U.S. Census, there were 15 people over the age of 100 in Douglas County and 650 people over 100 in Oregon. Twelve of those people statewide were at least 110 years old when the census data was compiled. Trued has lived with Sheldon, who is also her caregiver, for the past nine years or so. Her grandmother spends most of her time resting on the couch in the front room of Sheldon's home, basking in the sunlight that pours in through the high wows. Since she fell and broke her hip shortly after her 104th birthday, Trued doesn't get around the house much. She can't see or hear well and she doesn't often talk. Sheldon's black and white cat likes to curl up with her grandmother on the couch and keep her company while she sleeps. In cat years, 18-year-old Rosie is a bit ahead of Trued in age. "I call them my two old girls," Sheldon said. Trued was born in 1896 in Swedeburg, Neb. She graduated from Luther Midland College and later attended the University of Nebraska and the University of Denver. She dedicated much of her life to music, a passion that led to years of teaching piano and playing the organ for various churches. "She was an excellent, top musician," said Jennie Nesseth of Roseburg, a longtime friend of Trued's. "Both of our children took piano lessons from her." In 1943, Trued moved to Roseburg with her late husband, Clarence, whom she married in 1919. They soon began attending the First Christian Church of Roseburg where Clarence served as the choir director and Trued as the organist. On Saturday, the family gathered at Sheldon's home for an intimate celebration including angel food cake, one of Trued's favorites. Sheldon said her grandmother seemed particularly lucid that day and when she saw the cake said, "Oh, I just love that." "She was just really with it and sweet," Sheldon said. Members of the First Christian Church heard a special tribute to Trued on Sunday, which included a history of her life in the program. The congregation also listened to a recording of Trued playing the organ music her husband wrote. Trued was known for her ability to "make the organ get up and dance," according to the program. Trued was unable to attend, however. Sheldon attributes her grandmother's longevity in part to her healthy eating habits and her predilection to walking around the community for as long as she could. "I think growing up, maybe once I saw her with a cold," she sai Sheldon said she's thankful her grandmother is healthy enough to be surrounded by loved ones during the latter years of her life. "In her mind," she said, "that's important." Death Notices & Obituaries for May 27, 2005 Roseburg Oregon News-Review, May 27, 2005 TRUED, Ruth | Erickson, Ruth (I0414)

CERESCO COURIER - THURSDAY, JULY 1, 1920 OBITUARY William Pearson died at his home two miles northwest of Ceresco, Thursday evening, June 24th, after an extended illness, death resulting from a cancer. He was born at Swedeburg, Nebr., on June 20, 1877, being 43 years and 4 days of age. He waonfirmed in the Lutheran Church on April 7, 1907, where he has been a faithful worker, first being connected with the Swedeburg church and later transferring his membership to the Immanuel church here in Ceresco. On October 22, 1901, he was marrrried to Clara Elizabeth Brodd at Laramie, Wyo., and this union has been blessed with four children - Elmer, Herman, Edna and Irvin, who together with their mother are left to sadly mourn the loss of a kind and loving husband and father, yet theey "sorrow not as they have no hope." "So, if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also that are fallen asleep in Jesus will God bring with Him." Two sisters and three brothers were also at his bedside when death came. Numerous other relatives and friends will feel keenly the loss of one whom they loved and respected for his many sterling qualities of character. The Grace of God in Christ is able to truly comfort all who permit the Holy Spirit to comfort them. Our prayer is that this comfort may richly abide with all. WAHOO WASP - JULY 1, 1920 CARD OF THANKS We wish to express our sincere and heartfelt thanks for all the sympathy shown and help rendered us during the sickness and death of our beloved husband and father.
