A Lutheran minister educated at Augustana Theological Seminary. His home in Rock Island Illinois is now a men's dorm at the same school. He was also on the board of Augusta Hospital Chicago, and founder of Salem Lutheran church in Hyde Park. He was the first cousin to my great grandfather Robert Albin Abrahamsson of Ostra Frolunda Sweden. He sponsored the immigration of my grandmother Lydia and her sister Ruth Abrahamsson (they came through Ellis Island). He married my grandparents in his home in Rock Island, Illinois./Writen on back * L.G Abrahamson Pastor Salems Kytkan Chicago 1886 Na dod * Photographers address 208 east Ohio Chicago ....The photos from this album are from a family from Sweden who emigrated to Chicagomid to late 1880s .Primary name on photos is Soderdahl or Saderdahl ,other names:Johnson , Larson and Carlman .Some photos have names some do not.
