Eggen Clark 1 FT, https://www.ancestry.com/family-tree/person/tree/100825750/person/180006459944/facts

Johnson FT [Tammy Johnson] https://www.ancestry.com/family-tree/person/tree/60113092/person/140181713451/facts


I have used the Johnson FT [Tammy Johnson] and the Eggen Clark 1 FT on Ancestry, , and the North Crow River Lutheran church records as the starting off point but as indicated below, I have used other Family Trees since both of the above do not have complete information.


John Ludwig Johnson, b 16 Aug 1877, Knapp, Cokato Twp, Wright Co; died 13 Dec 1958, Monticello, Wright Co, MN
Married: 20 Jul 1900, Knapp, Cokato
Hilma Maria Erickson, b 3 Jul 1882*, Knapp, Cokato Twp, Wright Co; died 1916 in Meeker Co, MN
Children:
[1]

* there is some disagreement on Hilma's birth - North Crow River Church records her birth as 3 Jul 1882, but many of the family trees record her birth as 23 Mar 1882 and either at Meeker Co or Wright Co.

Dylan Shaleen had posted a photo of the family or at least some of the family - see my file folder [Maria Christoffersdotter]
- I estimate that it was taken bet 1950-1958



2. Swedish Lutheran Church Records [using Ancestry's collection .... Evangelical Lutheran ...]

A. On image 208 of the North Crow River Church records record Hilma Maria birth
her birth as 3 Jul and her baptism on 15 April. This also records her parents as Albin Ericson and Maja Ericson. On a couple of the Ancestry FTs records her parents as Albin Erickson and Maria Anna (Nelson).

I have not found a specfic date of death or location. There is agreement that she died in 1916 and in Meeker Co. This is likely since Ludvig and her are recorded in the 1910 US Census at Forest Twp in Meeker Co [this is about 35 kms to the west and north of
Cokato]. --- and Her death is more difficult - no records record a death or burial, but as indicated below [see, +++]


My hunch: she died in 1916 in Wright Co. I speculate that she went to Knapp in Wright Co, either her parents or a family member during her pregancy with Arnold Raymond or shortly after his birth/baptism AND that she died shortly after likely due to complications. It is possible that the family moved, at least temporary, in the early months of Jan
reasoning: she is not mentioned in the Ostmark Church (Watkins - Forest City, Meeker Co) Church membership - only Ludvig,
and children Lawrence, Alice and Ruth Irene. AND that record notes that Ludvig arrived from North Crow on 18 June 1916 - it is likely that Hilma is not mentioned because she had died.
one other possible explanation: Hilma died shortly after the birth of Arnold Raymond (29 Dec 1915), likely at the farm at Forest City, Meeker Co. Arnold Raymond was then "adopted" by a local family. Ludvig and the children went back to the Knapp area (perhaps with his mother); Ruth would have been about 3-4 years old. Ludvig then moved back to the farm at Forest City in the later spring of 1916.

Ludvig and Hilma's marriage is also recorded in the North Crow River Lutheran Church records [image 238]. Ancestry marriage collection records marriage in Hennepin Co, but it is that their marriage was recorded there.

NOTE; images 2-16 - history, but of the Svenska church started at Litchfield; it seems that the first Ostmark Church was built in 1895, but it is not clear if the is the same location of the current church; mentions Kingston

+++ Ludvig Johnson had gone to the Forest City (Forest Twp) in the spring of 1904 [1905 MN State census date) BUT they did not become members of Ostmark Lutheran Church until 1916 and by this time Hilma had died
- Ostmark image 149 records John ... Johnson alpa listing ... as above; BUT no Funerals recorded
- Ostmark... does NOT include a funeral list and from what I understand, it became part of the Litchfield parish - Litchfield has funerals starting Mar 26 1910 until June 1934, some noting Ostmark: BUT Hilma is NOT Recorded

[ not likely correct: 1930 US Census - Tammy Johnson FT links to a record at Fillmore Co, MN
- married again? ??? BUT- Eggen Clark 1 FT links to another 1930 Census
that is likely correct:
