Johanna Maria (possibly Hollander) is a tough one to crack.The only "official" information I have on her is from Simon Erik Flink's family bible (in possession of my grandmother at present).I do not read Swedish so my grandmother helped me out as best she could.On the first page it states that Simon Erik Flink married Johanna Maria on 7/5/1883.It also lists a second marriage date of 9/13/1885 (I'll get into this later).On the second page it lists:
Maria Eleanora b. 3/8/1884
Gust Alben11/11/1883
Alex Severin6/12/1886
Agnes Elvira10/4/1891
Ed William9/17/1888
On the third page it lists:
S. E. Flink 7/17/1855
Anna Catarena 9/24/1847
Mrs. Carolina Flink 70 years old on 8/20/1903.
On the fourth page it states Johanna Maria's death on 10/4/1884.
Simon Erik Flink re-married to Anna Catharina Johnson in Ogema, Price County, WI on 9/13/1885 (This marriage certificate is filed there).
The only other mention of Johanna Maria is indirect.From the record of the First Evan. Lutheran Church in Ogema it lists the christening of Maria Eleanora.It states the parents as Simeon Eric Flink and wife.
Johanna Maria is buried in a cemetary at Chelsea, WI. in an unmarked grave.I've looked at the original plat of the cemetary from the sexton, but this also lists the area where she is known to be buried as unknown.This is only oral history given to me by her surviving grandaughters (including my grandmother).
