The 1865-1878 Household Examination for Möikelasön in Marby does not show a birth location for her. Presumably, it’s Marby but she is not included in the 1866 list of births for Marby.

According to the 1920 census, she emigrated in 1894 and was naturalized as a citizen in 1913.

At the time of the 1910 census, the family was living in Lincoln Township, Polk County. The family consisted of Faste (“F”), 48, “Mrs. Anna”, 46, John R., 14, and Simon, 13. Also living with the family was Per Nelson, 73, uncle. Faste and Anna had been married for 16 years. She had had two children, both still living. Faste emigrated in 1891 and Anna in 1894. They owned their farm without mortgage. Although everyone could read and write, none of the three adults could speak English.

Anna Catrina's great-granddaughter, wrote:

" ... Anna Jonsson Valgren was my great-grandmother. I never knew her, of course, as she died the month that I was born, January 1942. In fact, my mother did not attend her funeral as she was so uncomfortable with me. It was strange how my great-grandfather died exactly 21 years later in January 1963 and I was expecting my first child (my son, Troy, 20 years) and I did not attend his funeral for the very same reason. I still think that is so strange. I was born Jan 22nd, my son was born Jan 23.

" I do not know much about my great grandma except that she was a very fussy housekeeper (meticulous) and that she always wore floor length dress, always! And she always wore something on her head. She wore a hat in public and around the house, day or night, she wore one of those elasticized klutes. I think this is what they called them. From what I have heard, I think she was a very sensible and logical thinking person. Right up to her death. She had had a colostomy because of an obstruction in her colon. It was malignant and she lived just about one year after her surgery. And that is how long the doctor said she was going to live. She had always been a short heavy person most, all of her life. But that last year she went down to skin and bone. My grandmother Myrtle nursed her at home the last few weeks of her life. She loved vanilla ice cream and she had always eaten a lot of it. The day she died she was worried that there would not be enough blueberry sauce to go on it after the funeral and she wanted Faste to go to town in 30 below zero weather and get some. My grandma said she checked the cellar and there were better than 2 gallons of the sauce so Faste did not have to make that trip. Also, she asked my grandma to be sure and put her teeth in her mouth, as soon as she died, as she was in so much pain, she could not stand the teeth in her mouth while she was still alive. Now that takes character and fortitude to make a request like that when you are about to leave this world. At least I think so. I really look forward to meeting her in eternity and I am sure she will be a wonderful person.

“My mother (Rose Marie) feels so bad now that she did not appreciate her grandma more when she was young. Because my mother said she really was so good in so many ways. But, mother said, she was even ashamed sometimes to be in town with her as no one wore those old long dark dresses and everyone looked at them..”
