THE TRUED FAMILY IN THE U.S.A.
JOHANNA: (Jenny) Third child of Trued and Elsie Nilsson. Born July 30, 1847 in Attarp, Kristianstads Lan, Sweden.
She came to U. S. and to Lincoln, Nebraska in 1871, where she worked in the home of the late Dr. Allen R. Benton, first chancellor of the University of Nebraska. After three years in this home she became the bride of Olaf Swanson, who had arrived on the same sailing vessel from Sweden. They were married October 17, 1874, and moved immediately to a homestead in Polk County,-an inland village, because it had no Railroad. They were of the Lutheran faith and continued their membership in the Swede Home church for some time, but eventually left it and affiliated with the Swedish Methodist church in Stromsburg, where they remained until their death.
They were the parents of seven children, the oldest two being twins. The writer, as a youngster, remember Aunt
