Lotten Gunborg Eliason

  Research Notes:

Summary: Lotten Gunborg Eliason was born on 3 Mar 1907, Vilhelmina, Västerbotten, Sweden, and died 10 May 1990 in Penticton, BC, Canada.

Lotten Gunborg Eliason was a 1st cousin to my Mom. Lotten's father, Linus Eliasson, was a brother to my Mom's grandmother, Lisa Albertine Eliasdotter, 1865-1911 - Lisa had been married to Johan Nikolaus Näsland, 1863-1948. Lotten's early years were spent on a farm in Nästansjö.

Lotten married Einar Ingemar Adamson [1906-1942]. In July 1929, both Einar and Lotten left Nästansjö, Vilhelmina parish for Canada. I do not know where they first came to. Also I don't rememeber my Mom ever talking about Lotten. Lotten and Einar ended up living in the Alder Flats - Buck Lake in Alberta, about 50 kms west of Wetaskiwin.

Lotten and Einar likely had 4 children, 3 male and 1 female. However, I have not found a birth record for any of the children. It appears all of the children grew up in the Alder Flats/Buck Lake area. Einar died in 1942. Sometime after this, Lotten married Robert Gunnar Karlsson [1901-1953]. It is likely that they were married in Alberta, but I have not found evidence of this. I believe that they had one son, likely born in Alberta.

Around 1947-48, Lotten and Robert Carlson moved to Penticton, BC. Robert died in 1953 in Penticton - I did find a brief obituary confirmed that he was married to Lotten and it named the children. Sometime after Robert died, Lotten married again to Alfred Jorgenson. I have not found a marriage record or any information on Alfred Jorgenson.

Lotten continued to live in Penticton. She died in 1990. There is a grave marker next to her second husband, Robert Carlson.

Findagrave id 106230993; Maywood Cemetery [Windfield, AB]
- this cemetery is actually 22.6 kms west of the town of Winfield - take Hwy 13 going west and after a south curve of the highway, take a right turn on twp road 460A, going west on a gravel road. From here it is hard to determine the exact location, since it is not marked or noted on google maps or Google Earth. Alder Flats is another 16 kms west
