Amanda C Poetz

  Research Notes:

THIS may be Amanda Perman / Paulson - her mother is Marit Halstendsdotter b 1834 in Östmark married to Henrik Paulson in 1871 at Stockholm Lutheran Church in MN;

BUT I have no direct evidence - basically a hunch ; See Marit Halstensdotter's research notes
Amanda must have moved from Stockholm sometime after her mother's death [she died in 1879] and Amanda would have been around the age of 18, but I don't know what happened to Amanda

This is a reasonable and maybe even likely connection to 'our' family. However, until I come up with more information I will not link this to Marit Halstensdotter, b 1834

FamilySearch.org

- has death certificate images: Death certificates (Washington (State), 1907-1960 ; Index to death certificates, 1907-1979

Amanda: https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:S3HT-DCT7-GZT?i=2229
birth date: 29 Jun 1861 in Sweden - match
died: 12 Oct 1943
lived in the US: 75 years - abt 1868
husband: John C Poetz (sr); he was born in MN abt 1860 - census data (1900 etc); he was an Architect in early Spokane

There are a number of 'hits' on Newspapers.com - I have downloaded his obit and Amanda's and Amanda's death cert, z folder
- they had 5 children
her obit:
The Spokesman-Review (Spokane, WA), issued 14 Oct 1943, page 21 [newspapers.com, accessed 21 Nov 2021]
Amanda Poetz, her at N 3225 Regal St. Mother of Mrs K S Robinson of Spokane; Joe L Poetz of Portland, Frank A Poetz of Oakland
6 grand children, 1 great-grandchild
- member of the First Church of Christ, Scientist.
- lived in Spokand for 55 yrs
- private funeral on 14 Oct

- however, there is one problem: on Amanda's death cert it is recorded:
father - Unob Perman; mother: Mary Bergstrom ????

I'm not certain of the mother - I checked the Stockholm Lutheran Church records; there is one family of "Bergstrom" (Nils Olsen), but the wife is Britta ??
