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.

52°
Up at 7.45 and shaved, sunny. Had a cup of coffee and wrote in diary. Took a walk thru Follansbee (?).
Had a ride in Bruce’s car up along the Ohio River to wheeling (?). Looked over Ogleby Park. A very interesting ride.
Home and a chicken supper then they watched T.V. and I read.
To bed at 10.30.
