Karolina left Sweden from Kristiania (Oslo) on November 2, 1897, destination Vollmer (Troy), Idaho. She left behind her mother, father, three sisters to join her brothers who had already made the long journey to America.
When Lina arrived she could not speak English and wore a sign around her neck telling where she was to go.
Many Swedes were living in Troy and, of course, there were many with the name of Johnson, so many the mailman couldn’t keep mail delivery straight. John, Lena’s younger brother, decided he would change his last name to Linderman.
Karolina changed her name to Carolina (Lena) Johnson Linderman as well. Lena & Nels married in Mullan, Idaho May 31, 1899.
