Her sister & brother-in-law: Mary G (Carlson) Lund (1847-1928) Fred J Lund (1853-1940) Matilda S. Palmer died at the age of 41 & her husband was unable to care for the children. Her brother-in-law & sister, who are the children's Uncle & Aunt, Fred & Mary Lund stepped in to care for the Palmer children then: Alma (14), Nellie (12), Edith (9), Art (7) & Blanch (4). It is not known what happened to the youngest twin, Helga Palmer, if she died or lived & was adopted?? Born Dec 1894, Helga was reported alive less than 1 month later on Jan 1, 1895 in the 1895 Des Moines, Polk, Iowa Census. So far, Helga cannot be found on a later census living with Fred & Mary Lund or in Iowa. Perhaps her name changed if she was adopted. **************************** Birthplace: Okna 5, Vetlanda kommun, Jonkopings lan, Sweden. (Elevation 561') Her birthplace is reported on her 1881 Swedish Emigration documents. Daughter, Alma, is reported to have the same birthplace. It is a city located in the historical & cultural, but not administrative, province of Smaland, Sweden. Daughter Alma usually reports her birthplace as Smaland, Sweden. ****************************** FATHER: Carl Johan Flagg (birthplace Sweden) MOTHER: Mary C. Colby (birthplace Sweden) Married in Sweden. Maiden Name: Matilda Sophia Carlson NOTE: Some records report her maiden name as Matilda Flag or Sophia Flag (or misspelled Slag) reflecting the Western culture naming system using the father's LAST name: "FLAGG". Other records show her maiden name as Sophia Carlson, which reflects the old Swedish naming system where the father's FIRST name: "CARL" is used in the daughter's surname. To be correct Swedish form though, her name would be Carlsdotter, but the Western culture does not use Carlsdotter, it uses the form Carlson & that is how documents show her maiden name. ***************************** Complete Family: Jan 1, 1895 Iowa State Census: (North End of the Sixth Ward District Des Moines, Lee, Polk, Iowa) Religious Belief - 7th Day Adventists John M Palmer-M-37-1858-Sweden-Coal Miner Matilda Palmer-F-40-1855-Sweden-Housekeep Alma Palmer-F-14-1881-Sweden-Student Nellie Palmer-F-11-1884-Boone Co-Student Ada Palmer(Edith)-F-8-1887-Dallas Co-Student Arthur Palmer-M-7-1888-Boone Co-Student Blanche Palmer-F-3-1892-Boone Co Harry Palmer(BDtwin)-M-0-1894-Boone Co Helga Palmer(twin)-M-0-1894-Boone Co *************************** 1881 Emigration/Immigration Records: Sweden to Hull, England to New York to Des Moines, Iowa --First, John Martin Palmer (age 24) Emigrated from Sweden: 15 Jul 1881.
