Here is a obit for Clara Christoperson, wife of Eric in the 1940 Census. Her parents were, Lars Gunderson and Ellen Marie Medhaug.I think the Eric from an earlier post had a aunt with the same name. Married Eric in 1933, so if this is the right Eric, Martha must have been dead by then or divorced.

Kċre, did you mean she died in 1848? You have her born in 1860? I am confused.

Here you write about my great grandparents :)
I have for a long time tried to get in touch with Erik's children / family in the United States but can not find any.
My grandmother is the daughter of Erik and Martha.
If anyone knows this family,I'd been very happy for any answer :)
