Ogema, Wisconson Lappfjärd ppl

[granskare]

I was at Swenson looking for a Swede at Ogema. I didn't find him but happened across these Finns and so, like an automaton, I focused upon them:)

This image added info: husband arrived from Lappfj in 1898, wife from Vasa in 1899 and each from Prentice in 1898 and 1899 respectively.
They married June 9 1901 and he died Sep 11, 1937. She died Oct 20, 1933 *the 0 was written oddly so that digit maybe be incorrect.
Excepting the last 4 kids, everybody was dropped in 1940 and 1942.

The husband came from Prentice, WI in 1897. All were dropped 12 15 1942

The Purmo guy came from Amasa in 1923.
They married 11-7-1900 and moved to Gladstone MI in 1935.

OK, the above 2 posts were for 1st Lutheran in Ogema. When I could not find my Swede, I went to the baptist churches.
I found these two from Finland:

Herman Söderback and his wife (unnamed per Baptist church style in those days:)

She was born 22 2 1862 in "Parton, Finland"
He was born in 1850 and from Wasa Finland. Arrival date could be 1894 or maybe that's when he joined. I can' be certain on that.

No other information is available.
