===================================================
Mildred Fredricks' grammar school diploma from Leyden Grammar School in Chicago, Illinois.
Back in the day they used to hand out diploma's as the children graduated from grammer, to what was called then Junior High
School, then the upper grades after that. It was something of an honor to recieve diploma's back then, since most children,
as they grew older, usually quit school to help out on the farms, or to earn money for the family by working.
===============================

Elias August Fredricksson & Sophia Augusta (Lindenau) left Sweden with thier children in
September 1881 on board the ship known as Marsdin out of Goteborg, Sweden.
When Sophia left Göteborg for America,
her contract number was
115:1137:50367B. In the port archives in Göteborg, the original registration
lists are kept
in big books, which have been numbered. The number of the
book that contains Sophia's departure was 115. Her entry is on
page 1137
in book 115. The number on the actual ticket, or contract, that she
purchased for travel was 50367B. People
were listed in the order that they
purchased their tickets.
It's recorded that the family carried onboard :
8
loaves of rye bread
20 loaves of barley bread
1 cheese
1 butter keg
8 kannor beer
rye Rusks
coffee, tea
1
sack of grain
1 kanna honey
1 pc. Salted pork
1 pc of salted sausage
1 smoked sheep shoulder
1 sack of flour
And
the trip took 13 days.
On the eleventh day, two days out of Brooklyn, where they were to dock. Captain's logs state that Sofia's
infant, Charles, suffered from the start. Due to constraints on board the ship, the captain ordered the infant an ocean's
burial. Fearing an outbreak of an unknown contagion the funeral was held immediately before the breakfast. As the funeral
plank was lifted to deposit the infant into the waters of the Atlantic, the "wee lad cried with all it's heart rending breath'".
Charles Ferdinand Fredericksson was rescued from dying at sea, by a simple cry.

================================================
Elias August Fredricksson Family
Elias was born 29 Aug 1854 in Vittinge, Vastmanland, Sweden. Elias married Augusta Sophia Lindenau, daughter
of Lars Erik Lindenau. Augusta was born May 4 1851 in Nora, Orebro Lan, Sweden. Elias and Augusta had seven children:
Linnea 1876 Sweden
August Alfred 1877 Sweden
Johan Herman 1880 Sweden
Charles F. 1881 Sweden
Bernard 1884 Illinois
Elsie Therese 1886 Illinois
William 1888 Illinois
Fredrik L. 1890 Illinois
Linnea went on tomarry Frank Schraut and had four children.
August Alfred went on to marry Madge Spicer and had four children.
Elsie went on to marry George Brown and had a daughter Ruth.
William married Ida Jasper and had two children.
Fredrick married Flora Keller and had six children.
The story of what happened to Elias goes as this;
Sophia's husband, Elias, escorted her and their then three children from New York to Chicago. Seeking his fortune, Elias
left Sophia after the birth of thier seventh child, to go out west, possibly Alaska, to seek his fortune during the gold rush.
He never returned. Sophia raised all seven children by herself, doing ironing and taking in clothes to be mended. She was
known to be quite the seamstress, making clothing for neighbors and friends. Her talent at making clothing was so well known
she provided quite a good living for herself and her eight children. But the hours were long and grueling, letters from old
friends show Sophia suffered from "aching finger joints" (arthritis?). She was also well known for her candy making abilities,
and cooking skills.
Okay. But the documents may tell a different story. According to the 1900 and 1920 census Augusta Sophia states in the
1900 Census that she is divorced, then in the !920 Census she says widowed. Haven't yet been able to tell. Maybe someone out
there knows. Can't find out yet where, or when, Elias died. Did they divorce and Elias remarried? Are there cousins out there
who descend from Elias that we don't yet know about?
