  Notes	Had 6 kids. Also emigrated to North America. According to the parish register of Långaryd, 1881-1890, Johan August was 1/24 part owner of Gässlingabo farm. They had moved to Långaryd from Torup in 1881. Johan was found guilty of theft in 1882. There is also a record of Johan August as half owner of Segelsbo farm in Långaryd. The family (less Emma, who emigrated in April of 1889) moved to Södra Hestra parish on October 7, 1890. There is a suggestion that Johan August was found guilty of theft again on March 5th of some year. In the 1890 Swedish census, according to one of Terry’s researchers, the family was living in Kindhult, Södra Hestra parish, Jönköping län. Terry believes that Johan August owned the Kindhult farm. The Södra Hestra Household Examination for 1891-1897 shows the family living on Kindhult Södra until October of 1894 at which point they moved to Spjuthult Nestra, still in Södra Hestra. They (Gus, Albertina, Karl Johan, Laurentia, and Mathilda Charlotta) emigrated to North Amerika in 1896. Johan August Lundberg, född 1852-06-08 i Rydö, Torup N. Hemmansägare i Sandshult, Torup N. Långaryd N 1882-?. (f). The 1867-1876 Torup Household Examination shows that Johan August left for Transhult in 1875. Johan August, age 44, his wife Albertina, 45, and their three youngest children, Carl, 19, Laurentia, 17, and Matilda, 14, arrived in the U. S. in the port of Boston, on May 17, 1896, on the S.S. Cephalonia. This ship had departed from Liverpool on May 7th. The Lundbergs’ last residence is shown as S Hestra, Sweden. The ship’s manifest lists their son, Carl O. of Boston, and their daughter, Emma Miller of Boston, as relatives already in the U. S. who will be meeting the immigrants. Emma’s address is shown as 129 Telestron Street, Boston. The family is noted as having arrived with the sum of $650. There is a reference to a Johan August Lundberg being a member of the Norden Society in Minneapolis in the period 1903-1906. In the 1905 Minnesota state census, August and “Mrs. Albertine” Lundberg, ages 53 and 54, respectively, are living by themselves on a farm in New London Twp, Kandiyohi County, Minnesota, where they had been for 2 years. This census also shows that they had been in Minnesota for 7 years. In the 1910 census, August and Albertina are living in Union Grove Township, Meeker County, Minnesota with an 11 year-old adopted son named Antone Anderson who was born in Minnesota. The census form says that the couple had been married for 38 years and that Albertina had had 6 children, 4 still living. The census erroneously lists their arrival date in the U. S. as 1866 instead of 1896. In the 1916 Canadian census, August, Albertine, and Anton live in Humboldt, Saskatchewan. Also in the household were their daughter Emma Griffin and her husband William. Terry says: JOHAN AUGUST LUNDBERG also came to Canada {apparently Winnipeg}. I do not know what name Johan August Lundberg used in the USA but I suspect it was CARLSON or Johnson . I only have border crossing records for him visiting his daughters in Orr, St. Louis County, Minnesota and the other daughter in the Boston, Mass. area named Elsie MacFarlane. I have a complete residential addresses for the daughter in Boston but I have not been able to check any further yet on her. The border crossing records show two crossings for August Lundberg. On June 19, 1923, he crossed at Ranier, Minnesota. He was a farmer from Watson, Saskatchewan, and he gave as his nearest relative his son Oscar Lundberg of Watson. August’s destination is Boston, Massachusetts, where he intends to visit his daughter, Elsie MacFarland of 22 Edgerton Road. He intends to remain in the U.S. for 5 months. He is described as 6 feet tall, of medium complexion, with gray hair and brown eyes. He gives as his place of birth “Heaplopsocher, Sweden.” August claimed to have been in the U.S. from 1896 to May of 1906. The other border crossing is for John August Lundberg, a farmer of Watson, Saskatchewan, who is leaving Canada at the port of Winnipeg in September of 1919 with his destination Orr, Minnesota. He still claims to be a Swedish citizen. Terry says: Johan August Lundberg came to Saskatchewan, Canada and takes out a homestead and in his records he claims to be a USA citizen (?). I also found him again travelling to the USA in the American Border records claiming to be Canadian and going to visit another daughter in Orr, St. Louis County, Minnesota. As Terry points out, the John Lundberg living next door to Charlie and Ida in the 1911 census may be Gus. An old news clipping given to Jan by Rose shows that Gus sold his farm land, and, presumably, moved into town in 1919. Terry also says: One relative remembers a relative named "Gus” who died upstairs above their cafe in Naicam, Sask., and who was rooming there. {This is the cafe Oscar and Tilley owned.} He said he was a relative and was very old. In the Lutheran Church records in Naicam they have named Charley Lundberg as dying there but Charley actually died in the City of Nelson, years later, so I assume it was Johan August Lundberg who died above the Naicam cafe located across the street from the train station. A couple of the locals remember Gus’s house burning down in 1927 which may be the reason that he ended up living above the cafe. Jan found a border-crossing record for Gus visiting his daughter Mrs. Charles Okman in April of 1928. At that time, Gus was living in Naicam and was expected to spend six months in “Salmon”, Oregon.
