- marriage to Henrik Paulson ****** NOT CORRECT, see point 3; his birth is actually 1825 and he was born in Sweden [b 17 Aug 1834 in Norway; died 15 Mar 1880 at Lincoln Twp, Polk Co ????]
- Marit died 14 Aug 1879 in MN
- links to 1885 MN census for Moorehead, Clay Co - but with the names, likely a wrong record

1. Östmark household records [early volumes with her parents

Östmark (S) AI:16 (1856-1859) Page 15, Östmark,
Enken, Stina Jonsdotter, b 1802
Halsten, b 1832
Marit, b 1834 ; comment on right column, Västana 19 Dec 1857? - but she isn't recorded there; not in deaths Dec 1557-1860??
BUT I think she is recorded in the marriage records; CI:3, page 589, 23 Sep 1860; Anders Perman age 34 [1826] and
Marit Hallstendotter age 26 [1834] from or born Östmark gard - mother Enk Stina Jonsdotter in Östmark gard
- it seems that they move in Apr 1861 - but they are not record in moving out records ???
But, using "Arkivdigital name index" the family at Sörmark, mid page

Östmark (S) AI:20 (1861-1866) Page 255, Sörmark
Anders Pehrman, b 1 Sep 1826, Arvika parish in Värmland; married 8 Jun 1861
Marit Halstensdotter, b 5 Jun 1834 and on Anders line: drunkard =drowned' index has his death as 22 Jun 1862

image: 1074; marriage: 8 Jul 1871; Marit [written as Margo] Halstensdotter and Henrik Pålson in Moores Prairie;
witness: Jons Ersson and A P Almqvist
image: 1078; births: Otto - 6 Nov 1875; parents: Henry Paulson and Mariet; wit - Mrs Ingeborg .....??
image: 1082; births: Carolina - 2 Nov 1877; parents: Henry Paulson and Mariet; wit ???
image: 1097; births: Carolina - 17 Aug 1879; parents: Henry Paulson and Mariet
BUT the birth cannot be on 17th since Marit died on the 14th -- there are 'ditto' marks on the line for Carolina referring to the person on the line above. Conclusion: since Marit died at childbirth and since I haven't found any reference for this daughter I have to assume she died on the same day as her mother - she was baptised on the 14 Aug 1879

image: 1117; deaths: 14 Aug 1879 -- Mrs Mariet H. Paulson; age 45 yrs, 2 months and 14 days [cal birth: 31 May 1834]; there is no cause of death BUT on the church member page (image 768), "barnsäng"=childbirth

son Otto, b 6 Nov 1875 at Moores Prairie
daughter, Carolina b 2 Nov 1877 at Moores Prairie; dies 5 Sep 1878 [image 1094; age 5 mos 3 days]

Amanda Christina Perman/Paulson is NOT recorded
- maybe she died - but no record of death/funerals at Stockholm Lutheran
- maybe she married - but no record marriages at Stockholm Lutheran
- maybe she moved ??? - not indexed in Wright Co or adjacent
--- see unlinked, Amanda Hoglund (b bet 1861-1864) married to Peter Hoglund and lived at Dovre Twp, Kandiyohi
--- and see unlinked, Amanda Poetz, b 1861 married to John C Poetz; lived at Spokane --- most likely, but no proof

*** Anna Stina b 1872 - it is difficult to get the right spelling of "Cedarstrom" or Cedarstram or ..om" but this is likely the reason for then obit in 1938 with the name Anna Stina Cedarst... Seashore
