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.

70°/95
Up at 8.00 and put in sash cord in two windows in our room.
After lunch we were going to see Louise Griggs but my battery was dead so had to go up to Sunoco Sta. and he came down and got me going and let me take a battery and I went to Parente’s and bought a new battery. Then started out for Louise’s and got there at 4.00 and sat talking with her till 5.30 and had coffee.
Home at 6.00 and we had corn for supper. Sat out in yard for quite a while.
Then in. I listened to T.V. To bed at 10.30.
