[NOTE: no headstone found for Olaf or Kristina]
Olaf Anderson was born in Ronneby, Blekinge, Sweden on October 6, 1851. His mother's name was Kersten Petters and his father's name, Anders Pherson. Because he was ANDER'S son, his name became Olaf ANDERSson, as was the Scandinavian custom. One "s" was dropped, hence, Anderson.
Olaf and his wife Kristina, and their three children Hilda, August, and Oscar came to America in the fall of 1882 as passengers on a steamship of the Inman-Liniens Company for a sum of 567.10 Krona. They settled in Commonwealth, Wisconsin, where he worked in the woods. A little later they moved to the Iron River area when the post office there was still known as "Nanaimo".
In 1888 Olaf homesteaded in Bates Township in Sec. 21, on what is now the Bates-Amasa Road.
In Bates, four more children were born to the Andersons, namely Charles, Victor, Otto and Delia.
Hilda, born in Sweden on March 27, 1877, married Victor Benson in April of 1900. They had four children: Isla, Alpha, Norman, and Walter. Hilda died in June of 1966.
In 1900, 32 acres of the original homestead were deeded by Olaf and Kristina Anderson to their daughter and son-in-law, Hilda and Victor Benson. The large farm home and some of the property was sold to Ben and Carl Langendorf in 1923.
OBITUARY of Alpha Vanderpool 2002 says Hilda (Anderson) Benson was her mother.
OBITUARY of toddler Joy Carol Erickson 1962 says Mrs Hilda Benson of Bates is her maternal great-grandmother.
OBITUARY of Victor Benson 1939 says Hilda Benson is his wife.
