The Johnsons and the Palms
Note from the author: The Historical information received required some degree of inference, but the narrative has a major degree of accuracy – the jewels which will follow in the coming weeks are the letters dated late summer into the fall of 1918, a time that saw the end of WW I and the great influenza epidemic that struck the world and killed thousands.This is a trail of two families’ immigration adventure; how they responded to the times and how their fortunes and destiny ended up in Loman, Minn.Lars Johnson was born in Sweden in June of 1819, his bride Merit (Maria) Christopherson was also born in Sweden, in 1846.
