Ernst Gilbert Danbom, 34, was born in America on 26 Octber 1877, the son of Augusta Danbom. He had five siblings.
Ernst was a farmer and emigrant recruiter for White Star from Stanton, (Montgomery County), Iowa. He was married to Anna Sigrid Maria Brogren on 30 November 1910, and they made a one year honeymoon trip to Sweden, where their son, Gilbert was born. Ernst got commission money from White Star for emigrants he recruited and he had quite a lot of cash when he left Sweden. It was meant that the family could eventually settle in Ernst's fruit farm in Turlock, California.

The Danbom family boarded RMS Titanic at Southampton, England with his wife and son, Alfrida and Gilbert, and Anders Andersson and family along with Anna Nysten who was the only survivor of the company. However, every one of them reached the boat deck where Anna Nysten told that she had seen the Andersson family. Only Ernst's body was found. On the body was found $276 cash and $30 gold. Ernst's body was brought to Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada, and sent to Stanton to be buried by his brother.

Mamrelund Cemetery is just outside the small community of Stanton, Scott Township, Montgomery County, Iowa. A large number of Swedes settled in that town and township prior to 1900 and Mr. Danbom was a part of the community.
