Swenson who lived at N1/4SE1/4  20-112-46  (80 acres) in Hendricks township and had lived in Lincoln county for 38 years.  This could possibly be Rachel.</I></div> <div> <I>There was a Sam Swenson, with wife Gena, children: Orton, Randena, Bessie, Jones (Jonas in church directory), Selma, and  Anna, who had lived in Lincoln county for 33 years.  They lived at  20-112-46, and the written description shows 80 acres, though his name is not shown on the map, just the written page.  I wonder if the Sam Swenson family lived with Ragneld, since only her name is shown on the directory map.</I></div> <div> <I>On the map itself, Swenson is spelled Swedson, though I expect that is just a mistake.  These names were written in by hand, I’m sure.  The farm was just a mile east of Lake Hendricks.</I></div> <div> <I> </I></div> <div> <I>In Marshfield township, there was a H.J. Svendsen, wife, Bertha and children William and Alvina, been in Lincoln county for 15 years; also a William Svendsen with wife Mary and child Hans, no years shown.  There was a C. S. Swendsen with wife Mary, and child Hans C., and he had lived in Lincoln county for 15 years.  I don’t know if that was duplication or not.  Only H. J. and William are shown on the map. </I></div> <div> <I> </I></div> <div> <I>Included in the membership list at Calvary Lutheran church in 1952 were Mrs. Gina Jonas Swenson and Mr. and Mrs. Orton Swenson.  I have the attendance and treasurer’s book for school district #51, where Parochial school was held in the summer, for the years beginning 1914, I believe, and for several years, and there is no mention of Lars or Peder’s family or children.  I am somewhat familiar with a Sam Swenson family who used to live around there, but not Lars or Peder, which makes me wonder if they moved out of the area.   This is the area just east of Hendricks where my mother lived until she was married and she was born in 1917, so I heard many of those families’ names when they reminisced, and also knew some of them.  So many of the “old timers” are gone now, so I will have to think about who might know something about them.  I don’t know if there would have been any mention of them in the Hendricks Pioneer, as moving, etc., but it’s hard to know when to start searching.</I></div> <div> <I>I will think some more about these families.  I could probably check church records sometime next week – they might give a clue as to when there was mention of them, if they attended church, and most people did.</I></div> <div> <I> </I></div> <div> <I>Bev"</I></div> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <B>Sam Swenson</B></div> <div> <B>1900 census</B></div> <div> <B>has to be a son as the mother of the family is shown as widow</B></div> <div> <B>with name "Rangin" which is a messed up Ragnhild:</B></div> <bR> <div> <I><IMG SRC="258409f0.jpg" border=0 width="320" height="415" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></I></div> <bR> <div> <I>The full census record shows "Rangin" as emigrating in 1869 - PERFECT MATCH!</I></div> <div> <I><IMG SRC="25bbc490.jpg" border=0 width="700" height="73" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></I></div> <bR> <div> Tired - will do more tomorrow - any help from anyone is appreciated!</div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
