Lindström, Lydia Leontine Amalie Johansdotter

• * 1878-03-03 / 1878-03-15
• ~ 1878-04-02
• EELK Vormsi kogudus, 1895-1903
• EELK Vormsi kogudus, 1904-1916 Lydia was born on a small Estonian island called Ormsö in Swedish (Literal English: Snake Island, Estonian: Vormsi, German: Worms), where she grew up in Hullo, Fällarna, Håkabackan. Lydia's ancestors on her fathers side trace their roots on Vormsi for as long as records extend, i.e. back to c. 1700, while more direct ties to 'mainland' Sweden are present on her mothers side.

Class V of 'The Order of the Estonian Red Cross' with the serial #939 was awarded to Lydia Pöhl at 1938-02-24 in the position of 'Meremisjoni tegelane'. - (Estonian: Eesti Punase Risti V klassi teenetemärk, French: Ordre de la Croix-Rouge Estonienne). "The Order of the Estonian Red Cross was instituted in 1920 by the Estonian Red Cross Society. The Order of the Estonian Red Cross is bestowed in order to give recognition for humanitarian services rendered in the interests of the Estonian people and for the saving of life. The Order of the Estonian Red Cross comprises six classes."

E.J. Dahl notes Lydia as "Lydia-Leontina-Amalia Lindström" in his research from 1939 - 'Pöhl'i suguvõsa' on p. 28. Though the name "Scoutine" is used in most Swedish records.
