Swedish-American pioneer. She was Mrs. L. Magnus Nelson (originally Nilsson) and the oldest of the ten children of Erland Andersson and Lena Nilsdotter. All five of her brothers died as children. She died two years after her husband and not long after they and their son had moved from Sweden to Kansas. A daughter born there also died two tears after her and her son then moved to a foster family in Colorado. She was buried somewhere in in Cloud County, Kansas, in or near Sibley Township. The cemetery is defunct and its location and that of her grave are now unknown. There is no 100% certain picture of her, but an elderly grandniece identified one old album photo as her.
