Nils Ericsson Holm

Nils Eriksson Holm was born in Föllinge, on April 20, 1864. He died in Scandinavia, Manitoba, Canada on October 21, 1952. As you know, he is my mother's grandfather. Nils did return to Sweden once, after his wife, Märta Lucia Olofsdotter Grönlund, died in 1940. I don't know what year he traveled. Perhaps 1944 when he was 80? I have attached a picture of him taken on that visit. He is the third from the left. He is standing next to his sisters.

His daughter, Ottilia Karolina Holm, my grandmother, was born in Lit, Jamtland, on 29 July, 1892. She died on 17 February, 1979. Her husband, Daniel Nils Ericson, my grandfather, was born 20 July, 1889 in Herndon, Kansas, USA. He died on 14 April, 1960. They were married 06 Jan 1915 on the Ericson farm in Smoland, near Minnedosa, Manitoba, Canada. (Della Dennis 2016-10-01)
