Wovie

She moved to Vårdinge, then to Kalmar in 1908. She left on May 8, 1909 for North America to meet a man who never showed up to greet her. She came from a family of poor farmers and made a new life when she settled in Connecticut. Her house always smelled of clean, fresh laundry. She baked sweet goods for her relatives, donuts, cakes and Swedish tortes.
