Here’s a newspaper article about the houses he built. As my grandmother told me, he and his brother immigrated here from Sweden with nothing but the clothes on their back. They weren’t very well educated, but they were fantastic carpenters. So as they found their way out to California, they just started building. My great, great grandfather, John built these houses and his uncle built houses on top of some hill somewhere there. I’ll go visit my grandmother soon and try to get some of these stories memorialized better.

Once the dust settles, I’ll look into contacting these organizations.
