I don't have an obituary but this record shows his emigration from Sweden.

Emibas CD:

Emibas was made from registrations in the Swedish parish to go to a foreign country. It is about 75% complete.

You could probably find an obituary in a Swedish American newspaper. They can be borrowed through interlibrary loan from the Swenson Swedish Immigration Research Center. They would be in Swedish, of course, but it is not hard to pick out names and you could ask for translation help on the Genforum Sweden board.

Also try to find information using the Swenson Center. They won't lend anything except microfilmed newspapers and their records aren't online but you can go there to research or pay them to research for you. They have materials which are difficult or even impossible to find elsewhere and many of us have solved problems there.
