Mrs Wilhelm Ström (Elna Matilda Persson), 29, was born 3 August 1882 the daughter of Per Ulrik and Kristina Persson, Julita farm, Södermanland, Sweden.
Elna Ström was Swedish-American, she was married to Wilhelm Ström (born 12 April 1884) and lived at 3905 Grapevine Street, Indiana Harbour, Indiana, USA.
Mrs Ström boarded the Titanic at Southampton with her daughter, Selma Matilda Ström and brother Ernst Ulrik Persson. It is believed that they (the ladies) occupied cabin 6 (in section, or possibly deck, G) which they shared with Agnes Sandström and her children. Elna and Selma had been visiting her parents on Julita farm, a few days before the trip Selma scalded her hand on hot water. They had to postpone the trip in order for the scars to heal, the delay led to them travelling on the Titanic. Onboard Selma had to visit a nurse every day to have new bandages put on.
When the ship was sinking, the Sandströms and the Ströms lost contact with each other on the way up to boatdeck. According to Ernst (the reality is unknown), he tried to keep himself as near to his sister as he could but they came to late to the lifeboats. At 02.15 when they were on the poop, Titanic made a lurch and Ernst lost the grip and never saw them again.
Elna and Telma were lost in the sinking, Elna Ström's body was never found.
