3. | Sara Maria Amalia Kinman was born on 20 Apr 1859 in Asby, Ostergotlands, Sweden (daughter of Nikolaus Nils Kinman and Sara Maja Johansdotter); died on 18 May 1915 in Swedeburg, Saunders, NE; was buried on 21 May 1915 in Fridhem Cem., Swedeburg, Saunders, NE. Notes:
"My mother had two brothers in Sweden named Sven and Johan. Sven disappeared altogether while he was comparatively young and neither mother or Uncle Johan were ever able to find any trace of him. Their names and mother's maiden name was Kinman and Johan had a job or position somewhat similar to our Forestry Division and the head-office from which he worked and was connected was undoubtedly at Stockholm, Sweden. Johan was married and had two children, Sten and Lisa (pronounced Leesa) whwhen my mother made a trip to Sweden in the early 1900's. Her brother's address then, as near as I can remember was Jagmastare Herr J.E. Kinman, Lindkoping, Sweden. This was some small town or village evidently not too far from Stockholm. Another place often mentioned was Eksjo. My cousin Sten came to the U.S. sometime around 1913 and landed at Johnstown Penn. and got married there and settled down and was there when we were with Glenn at Falls Church in 1951, and I had most surely planned and hoped to go see him when we were that near, but Glenn's hurried call to go back to Japan (and we getting his boys on our hands) cancelled those hopes and plans, and a few years later Sten passed away". This from a letter to my father, Fred Martinson dated March 13, 1963 from George M. Nelson. Sara came to America in 1878. Sara arrived in the port of N.Y. on September 9, 1878 aboard the steamship S.S. The Queen.
