Petertil family at Christmas

Just wanted to share photos from Joan! Thank you for sending these, Joan.

The Petertil Family, Christmas 2013

Thea and Ella on Christmas Eve

I will not be posting for a while

I am in the process of learning more about how to share family history in a better format. Hopefully I can find the information I need, but this is proving to be time consuming and I am spending a lot more time online and on my computer. It's entirely possible the software I have is capable of so much more than I thought -- and I was only using the very basics.

I have also found possible information on my mother's family both in the Upper Peninsula and in Sweden -- information that wasn't available to me before and it's both exciting and time consuming. This information still has to be verified, BUT it's forcing me to learn more about the software I am using.

I am also connected to two "new" helpers -- so I am in the process of learning new ways of doing things.

Hopefully, I will be posting again in a week or two.

OBITUARY Iron River Reporter December 27 1951 "Andrew Lundwall 

Funeral Service Friday At 1:30"

Funeral services will be held Friday [Dec 28] afternoon at 1:30 at the Johns chapel for Andrew Lundwall, 79, who died at 3 a.m. yesterday at his home on the Ice lake-Stambaugh cut-off road.

Rev. Louis Jensen of the Mission Covenant church will officiate, and interment will follow in the Stambaugh cemetery vault.

Mr. Lundwall was born in Sweden on Dec. 17, 1872 and he came to this country as a child with his parents in 1875, settling in Commonwealth. His father, Andrew Lundwall sr., was a pioneer in the Commonwealth community.

Mr. Lundwall moved to Iron River in 1912 and he was master mechanic for Oglesbay, Norton & Co. mining operations of this area until his voluntary retirement 19 years ago. He and Mrs. Lundwall observed their golden wedding anniversary eight years ago. They moved out to a small lakeside farm at Hagerman lake upon his retirement and two years ago sold the farm and moved in to the home on Ice lake cut-off road.

He was a member of the Vasa Scandanavian lodge of Commonwealth and a former member of the Iron River Masonic lodge.

OBITUARY Iron River Reporter February 18 1957 "Mrs. A. Lundwall Is Dead At 89, Rites Wednesday"

Mrs. A. Lundwall, 89, a pioneer of the Menominee range, died at 1 p.m. yesterday afternoon after an illness of many months.

Her death occurred at the Fifth avenue home of her daughter, Mrs. Iner Lindbeck, where she had moved six months ago from her Ice Lake Cut-off road home. She had retained keen mental and visual faculties to the end despite her illness and advanced years.

With her were three daughters, Mrs. Lindbeck, Mrs. Helen Hendershot, of Rochester, Mich. and Mrs. Carl Youngren of Stambaugh.

The former Ingaborg Nelson was born in Sweden on March 28, 1868 and she came to Iron county as a girl, settling with relatives at Crystal Falls and later moving to Commonwealth in Florence county where she and Mr. Lundwall were married in November, 1896 [NOTE: obituary of husband Andrew says 1893]. They observed their golden jubilee in 1946. Mr. Lundwall died Dec. 26, 1952 [NOTE: incorrect; the year was 1951] and a daughter, Mrs. Emma Jolgren of Rochester, Mich. died in June of the same year [must also be 1951; she is not mentioned in her father's obituary].

Surviving are two sons, Walter of Iron River and Carl of Stambaugh township, and five daughters: Mrs. Mathilda Lindbeck, Iron River, Mrs. Margaret Youngren, Stambaugh, Mrs. Lee (Alma) King, Soo, Mrs. Anthony (Vera) Pauloski and Mrs. Helen Hendershot, Rochester, Mich.

There are 32 grandchildren and 21 great grandchildren. A sister, Mrs. Katherine Ecklund, lives in Sweden.

The family has asked interested friends to consider memorial contributions to the American Cancer Society, and these can be made with Miss Katherine Ballon at the Miners State Bank.

The Rev. J. Milton Nelson, former First Lutheran pastor, will return from Marinette to officiate at the funeral service Wednesday at 2 p.m. in the Johns chapel where the remains are in state. Interment will be in Stambaugh cemetery vault.
