Ruth Axelina Dahlman, born May 02, 1888 in Sweden
Nothing is really known about the childhood of Ruth Axelina Dahlman, but records have her being born and raised in Sweden.
At the age of twenty-four, Ruth departed from Copenhagen City, Copenhagen Denmark, aboard the ship "United States", and arrived in the USA on February 22, 1911.Immigration records at Ellis Island list her as single, and her place of residence as Stockholm, Sweden.
She later married her husband, and the two of them purchased a home in New York and started a family.
Over the following years Ruth must of remained home sick for Sweden, for she traveled there eight times. On one occasion she even had her third son born in Sweden after becoming pregnant first in the United States.
By the time her children were fully grown Ruth began traveling throughout the United States. This would include California where she purchased herself a vacation home to be near two of her sons.
About 1970, after the death of her husband Ruth moved to Miami, Florida. By now the same two sons that were once living in California had already moved there.
She continued to live in Miami another ten years until her death in 1980.
