ELSA AMERENCIA GUNSTROM [Grundström] was born on January 6th, 1911 in Winnipeg, Manitoba Canada to:
GOTTFRID GRUNDSTROM and
BEDA ELISABET SKARIN
Her parents, Gottfrid and Beda had immigrated from Sweden in September 1906. They began their travels in Goteborg to Hull, England. The couple then traveled on 02 October 1906 from Liverpool, England across the sea aboard the S.S. SAXONIA along with their 5-month-old son Birger William Carl Grundström, also known as 'Bill'. It must have been a long journey, and the young family traveled in 'Steerage', which could not have been an easy voyage. They arrived at the Port of Boston, Massachusetts on October 11, 1906. Their last name may have been shortened to 'GUNSTROM' when they arrived in Winnipeg.
In 1907, the year after the family arrived in Winnipeg, the couple had a daughter named Signe Elizabeth 'Betty' Grundström. Four years later another daughter was born, Elsa Amerencia Gunström. Thirteen years later, a fourth child was born, Fred Bertyl Gunström. The child was not healthy, and he passed away at one year of age.
Gottfrid's younger brother Axel Grundström also emigrated to Canada from Sweden. He lived in Retlaw, Alberta. Axel made a trip from Alberta to Manitoba and was in attendance at the Baptism of his niece, Signe Elisabeth Grundström on 21 July 1907 at the FCS Mission Church [First Canadian Scandinavian Mission Church]. His signature can be found on the Church Baptism records for Signe Elisabeth as a witness, along with a man named 'Ernst Ostman', also from Sweden. The clergyman was J.E. Bjorklund.

The family moved to a home on 399 Tweed Avenue, where they lived for many years.
CHILDREN OF BEDA AND GOTTFRID GRUNDSTROM:
*Birger WILLIAM Carl Grundström (1906-1988)
*Signe ELIZABETH Grundström (1907-1991)
*ELSA Amerencia Grundström (1911-1991)
*FRED Bertyl Grundström (1924-1925)
ELSA AMERENCIA GUNSTROM married
WILLIAM KLIPPEL of Transcona on
the 15th of October, 1949.
The couple moved to a home on Digby Avenue in Winnipeg, across from the Elmwood Cemetery.
Bill and Elsa had one son named WAYNE KLIPPEL (1954).
ELSIE GUNSTROM KLIPPEL was a kind woman, who loved people. She was a very good hostess, and always prepared a delicious meal, with the table set just right. She dressed like a lady with her clothes neatly ironed, hair coiffed stylishly, and she always wore a smile on her face. If you came over in the evening for a visit, you would be persuaded to have a cup of tea and a cookie or cake before you left. She served the tea in her best English bone china. At the end of the evening, I would help her hand wash her fine china and silverware, drying them with a linen tea towel.
I am honoured to wear your multi-coloured 1940's vintage 'Bubble Toque' hat, and your old clip-on earrings.
Thank you for setting such a good example for me.
Love, your niece, Maureen
