I do believe the 1880 census is Andrew and his first wife. Her tombstone inscription is Erika M.
The thought that Nilla might have a connection to Andrew's family had crossed my mind. Why else would her destination have been Peirce City? She must have known someone in the area. During this particular time frame there were many Swedish people coming to the area.
I appreciate the the link for naturalization records. It has been one of my favorite sites. Many people are not even aware it exists, so thank you for being thoughtful.
The Anderson people are not my kin. I am involved with The Dry Valley Cemetery Association, Lawrence Co., MO. The cemetery dates back to 1846 and is located atop a hill in a rural farming community. It's my understanding the cemetery records were destroyed by fire many many years ago. An Association was formed in 1980 to preserve and maintain the cemetery.
It is my goal to restructure records not only to be in compliance with Missouri Law, but also for future generations. Yes, I'm going beyond requirements. The preservation of our community history is that important to me. It helps that I'm a genealogy nut.
There are more Swedish people buried in the cemetery; to name a few Larson, Johnson, and Ryberg. I'm working alphabetically, so it will be a while before I request help for them. Well, maybe not..I'm fascinated by the thorough Swedish records.
All interred at the cemetery have been listed at findagrave.com
