Notes

  • A genealogy provides birth information apparently from family sources, but lacks many other details.

    Axel Teodor Youngren
    Birth 28 Dec 1870 Bodarne, Örebro län, Närke, Sweden
    Parents:
    Johan Jonsson Youngren 1840 - 1889
    Brita Stina Larsdotter 1824 -
    --  Hossler Family, http://trees.ancestry.com/tree/57062279/person/48019097026?ftm=1

    Axel moved to Colorado.  He is reported in a series of city directories there, from 1903.  We include some representative records here.  In the 1903 directory there is a Fred Youngren also listed.  It is likely a family member, perhaps Axel's brother, as he is a carpenter also.  Axel is specializing in beds.

    Their marriage record was found in 2018, reporting Anna's maiden name as Swanson.  By that time some other genealogies had found the marriage record.  Some genealogies report her as Swenson or Svenson, an original Swedish form.  They married in Pueblo, Colorado in 1905.

    In 1906 Anna's name still does not appear in the directory listing for Axel.  Her name is not fo und in any listings until 1913.

    The 1910 Pueblo, Colorado, City directory gives him the middle initial of A, though a family genealogy reports his middle name as Teodor.  This happens again in 1913.  Also note that the address is the same in 1910 to 1913, but a different house number on the same street in 1915.  He is reported alone even though other sources indicate he and Anna married about 1906.  In 1910 he is the only Youngren listed.

    The 1910 U S census reports Axel and Anna with a three-years-old daughter, and reports they have been married 4 years.  This census also reports that Axel came to the US in 1895, and Anna came earlier in 1887.

    In the 1929 directory, two children are listed, Katie and Mahlon.  Going by the order of listing, we take it that Katie is the oldest.

    When I found Axel's memorial on Find a Grave, I found the memorialist had not known the date of death, but did have the date of burial (reported in the place for date of death).  When I submitted the date of death from other records, she did not correct the date of death on the memorial.  However, when the memorial was updated, the memorialist removed the burial date information.  Burial took place 19 March 1934, as the original information below indicates.

    Axel's memorial on Find a Grave originally had the burial date from cemetery records as his death date, becuase the burial record did not have birth and death dates.  Birth and death infromation I submitted from my research was added to the memorial.  But the date of burial I submitted was still not added.  I have included it here.
