NOTES: GUSTAFSSON was Otto’s last name in Sweden.
He arrived December 24, 1889 on the S.S. Servia in New York City as
Otto
TIELL (this should be KJELL, it was the second name he adopted when he
lived at the soldier’s cottage in Karestad, Sweden).
Some time between when he arrived December 24, 1889 and when he married
November 20, 1895 he changed his last name to LEEDBERG.
When Otto and Anna married in Boston, Massachusetts, he was a resident
of
Hurricane Island, Knox Co. Maine and she was a resident of Rockland,
Knox
Co. Maine.
