This blog shares the journals of my great-grandfather Nelson Hjalmar Lindgren (b. 14 Oct 1884 Sweden d. 3 Mar 1976 E. Prov, RI). These writings give a window into a fascinating man and give the story of a remarkable life of a first generation Swedish-American. The daily entries of Nil's journals from 50 years ago will give our family a greater connection to our past.

Mon. July 31 1961
Up at 6.45 and took Evelyn to work. Home and breakfast. Tillie up and ironing.
I took Evelyn to work at 7.00. Tillie was ironing and ironed all morning, then the heat got too much for her and she had to lie down.
I went up after my pants at St. Onges. Opened the Quahaugs and peeked potatoes for chowder.
Stayed home in afternoon and had a short nap.
In Eve. Chris brought his slides over and the children were all here.
To bed at 10.15. Rained in Eve.
