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.

Tuesday July 25, 1961
Thundering Early this morning. Then began to rain hard. Got up at 7.45 and shaved and then had my coffee and then wrote.
Tillie, Ronald, Dana and I went to Elliotts place on Jamestown. Were down at the rocks most of the time. Took a ride to town and shopped.
Went in swimming. Water 67°.
Foggy all day. To bed at 11.00.
