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.

58
Up at 7.30 and saw Ray and Bruce off. Read paper and had breakfast when Tillie and Wanda came down. Sat around and talked in afternoon. After supper Bruce played Mitch Miller records all Eve. A young couple from Truk stopped in for an hour. Ray showed some of the latest pictures from Neil. To bed at 10.30 and listened to Bruces records. Rained most of day.
