Dear Jackie, lyndal40 and other listers!
I will start this message by saying BINGO!
I found the birth record at St. Ansgarius for the daughter:
* Othilda Hanna WILSON, born Sep. 13, 1870: https://collections.carli.illinois.edu/digital/collection/npu_ansgar/id/758/rec/4
And then I discovered this ancestry family tree: https://www.ancestry.com/family-tree/person/tree/114866531/person/232013932014/facts?_phsrc=Nzx25196&_phstart=successSource
The owner of the tree has gotten Othilda Hanna mixed up with a different girl, but several facts prove the connection to «our» Wilson family!
The 1910 census from Knox Co., NE (where also Ingrid «Eva» Wilson's oldest sister Ingeborg «Emma» Schuster lived!!) shows her father born in Sweden and mother born in Norway: https://www.ancestry.com/imageviewer/collections/7884/images/31111_4330837-00885?usePUB=true&usePUBJs=true&pId=161141922
The birth record of a daughter in 1903 shows mother's name as Tillie Hannah Welson Iverson: https://search.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/sse.dll?viewrecord=1&r=an&db=FSCookILBirth&indiv=try&h=721761
So, I must say this has been a wonderful experience!!
Obviously some «blanks» still remain, including:
* Where were Tillie and Jonas Iverson in 1900?
* Has the tree owner identified the «right» husband of Tillie's, born in Ostre Aker: https://www.ancestry.com/family-tree/person/tree/114866531/person/232013931580/facts
* But far more important: What happened to Ingrid «Eva» Wilson after 1880? Did she remarry?
* And can her Swedish husband Charles Wilson be identified?
Thanks again for wonderful assistance with this family! Just like the Mary Hill Masterson challenge I never thought I would be able to locate Ingrid «Eva» Wilson's family!
Very sincerely yours,
There are several candidate Charles Wilson in the church registers if you want to let your fingers do the walking, particularly 1849-1852 era.
The Illinois State Secretary of State digital archive has pre 1916 deaths for Illinois but limited to just Cook county there are an enormous number of Wilson. Age is off but here is an Ingrid Wilson:
WILSON, INGRID 1898-03-30 CHICAGO 65 YR U 00020587 COOK |

This from the Denver Post Sunday 30 May 1937 page 7 col 5:
"Woman Disappears And Death Is Feared
Denver Police instituted a search for Mrs. Tillie Iverson, 67 who disappeared from her home at 229 Bannock street Saturday morning after writing a note to her husband Edward H Iverson, in which she intimated that she might attempt to take her life. Iverson said his wife has been despondent because of ill health. 'Dear Ed, Please bury me in my new dress.' the note stated Iverson told Police Sergt. E.M. Hunt."
Obviously it resolved since she was with the family in the 1940 census. And interesting that her son Ed was confused with her husband.

Dear lyndal40, Jackie and other Listers!
Thank you very much for your latest comment on this family!
I have spent some time today reviewing my notes on Ingrid «Eva» Wilson and her family. I have even read line-by-line the St. Ansgarius baptismal and burial records for the time up until 1877, but there is no mention of Charles or Ingrid «Eva» or any other children than what i already found. Therefore I am very uncertain whether the Charles F. Iverson who died in that accident in 1874 can be the «right» Charles... Do you think that the inquest of the accident might have additional details about his family??
It is also «intreaguing» to me that we cannot find Charles Wilson in the 1870 Chicago census! There are several Charles Wilsons, but none with a «matching» wife! And now we also know for sure he was a SWEDE since Tillie's father is given with birth place Sweden in the 1910, the 1920 and the 1930 censues!
Also very «intreaguing» is the question about Ingrid «Eva»' destiny after 1882. I wouldn't be a bit surprised if she remarried, and she may even have had more children!?
At any rate, I now have, after contacting the Fairmount cemetery in Denver, CO, a complete set of information about Tillie (in Norwegian):
Othilda Hanna, kjend som Tillie Wilson, f. i Chicago, Ill. 13.9.1870, d. i Denver, Colo. 15.1.1941. Ho gifte seg i Chicago, Ill. 11.1.1897 med Jonas Pederson frå Austre Aker, i Amerika kjend som Johnas Iverson. Han var son av snikkar Peder Iversen på Kampen i Austre Aker, opphavleg frå Øygarden under Øy i Vågå, og kona Kirstina Andersdotter frå Burud i Hole og f. i Austre Aker 7.5.1870, men utvandra til Amerika med mor si i 1881. Han d. i Denver, Colo. 8.4.1956. Etter nokre år i Chicago, Cook Co., Ill. flytte Tillie og Johnas kring 1907 til ein farm i Spade precinct, Knox Co., Neb. Kring 1911 flytte dei til Portland, Multnomah Co., Ore., men alt i 1914 flytte dei attende til Sioux Falls, Minnehaha Co., S.D. der Johnas arbeidde som heisbyggjar («elevator constructor»). På 1920-talet flytte dei so til Denver, Colo. der dei vart buande levetidi ut. Dei fekk tre born i lag.
Thanks again for your wonderful assistance tracing this family!
Very sincerely yours, |

There are over 300 Charles Wilson mentions in the Chicago newspaper base in Genealogy Bank from 1869-1880. Only one other death that I saw, other than the fellow on the roof, was that of a sailor. It was from the Chicago Daily Tribune Tuesday 1 Dec 1877 page 7:
"There's no longer any doubt that the missing schr Atlanta has been lost with all on board. It is not known for certain that she passed Detroit, and therefore it cannot be stated on which lake she went down. The names of the lost, as far as can be learned, are as follows: first mate Mr. Griffen of Youngstown N.Y.; second mate Charles Wilson, son of Captain Gordon Wilson of Chicago; cook Mrs O'Neil of Vermillion O. The names of the five seamen on board cannot be learned. All hailed from Oswego."
There are numerous mentions of Charles Wilsons engagements in illegal acts including larceny, robbery, check forgery, assault with intent to do bodily injury with a deadly weapon, sneak thief, shooting, exposing self, pickpocketing, indecent conduct and adultery,
The occupations mentioned in connection with various Charles Wilsons covered the gamut: painter, sailor, telegraph operator, waiter, restaurateur, railroad engineer.
One mention was made of a Charles Wilson as a Swede. He had travelled back to Sweden. He left $900-$1,000 of cash and property in the care of another Swede named Clara Edwards who was a fortune teller who lived at No 77 West Kinzie. She was arrested when he returned from Sweden and wanted his cash and property back and she didn't have it. The articles dated to Feb 1879 in at least two papers outlining her arrest and working through the judicial system. The earliest articles called this Charles Wilson a Norwegian but quickly he was identified as a Swede. |

Dear Jackie and other Listers!
It appears to be a «tough task» to figure out who Charles WILSON really was. It MAY very well be the guy who suffered this accident in Chicago, IL in 1874, so maybe it would be worthwhile checking out theinquest, hoping there might be a mention of his wife and children?
However, I am unable to open the inquest file. I only get «error»...,
The only ything that kind of «disturbs» me with this Charles Wilson, is this note in the newspaper:
«WILSON--In this city Jan 29 Charles F Wilson, aged 26 years, 5 mos 24 days. Funeral from his residence 195 Sebor St Sunday Feb 1 at 11 o'clock sharp, by cars to Rosehill. Norfolk Va papers please copy.»
Why this reference to Norfolk, VA?
Thanks again for your great assistance in this matter! |
