Whaley* and Nils William Olsson The name of Cleveland, OH, does not usually conjure up visions of a vast Swedish settlement area similar to that of Chicago, Minneapolis or Worcester, MA, but a doser look will show that this metropolitan area, located in Cuyahoga County at the mouth of the Cuyahoga River as it enters Lake Erie, proved to be a magnet which eventually attracted several thousand Swedes to settle here. The city's bustling industry, consisting of hundreds of factories, steel mills, foundries and slaughterhouses, served by a major port, was inviting enough to cause many a Swedish immigrant to stop off and to remain here for the balance of his life. Prof. Helge Nelson of the University of Lund in Sweden has in his major study, The Swedes and the Swedish Settlements in North America, demonstrated that by 1890 a total of 559 persons, bom in Sweden, had settled in Cuyahoga County. By 1910 this figure had risen to 1,883, in 1920 it was 2,766 and by 1930 had reached a total of more than 3,000 persons.' It is difficult to prove who the earliest Swedes were who either arrived or settled in Cuyahoga County. We know from travel descriptions that early lake­ going steamers, plying the Great Lakes - the major route westwards before the advent of the railroads - made Cleveland a major port of call. It is, therefore, con­ ceivable that an occasional Swedish passenger may have stepped ashore to explore the fledgling city. We know that as early as 28 Feb. 1846, a young Swedish journeyman dyer by the name of August Wilhelm Möller (in the U.S. he called himself Miller), declared his intent of becoming a U.S. citizen in the District Court of Cuyahoga County, barely ten years after Cleveland had become a city. 2 The death records of Cuyahoga County tel1 us that a Swedish woman, Catharine Halenstein (sic!), died en route through Cleveland 24 Sept. 1849. 3 There were several Swedish deaths recorded in the county <luring the 1850s and 1860s proving that Swedes had settled early in "The Forest City" as it was sometimes affectionately called.4 * Patricia D. Whaley, a professional genealogist, resides at 5722 Millwood Drive, Broadview Heights, OH 44147. 113 Swedish American Genealogist As more and more Swedes arrived, the need arose to gather in religious and secular groupings. Thus in 1885 the oldest Swedish church, The Bethlehem Swedish Lutheran Congregation, was organized. Four years later, in 1889, both the Swedish Baptist Church as well as the Swedish Mission Covenant Church were ·founded, and after an additional three years the Swedish Methodist Church came into being. A Swedish branch ofthe Salvation Army was formed in 1905. On the secular front a number of organizations were created. One of the oldest and possibly the most prestigious society, because of its local orgin, was the Gustavus Adolphus Mutual Aid Society, founded in 1890. In 1889 the "Hundred Men's Society" was organized, which in 1902 changed its name to Harmony. In 1902 the Nordenskjöld Lodge No. 46 ofthe Scandinavian Brotherhood of America was founded. The Nobel Lodge No. 130 of the Vasa Order of America was formed in 1908. Other groups came into being, representing the Templars of Temperance, the International Order of Good Templars, the Scandinavian Fraternity of America, as well as several musical organizations. Swedish Cleveland had come of age. Unfortunately, the documentation of the extent of the Swedish element in Cleveland has been quite meager. Thanks to the pioneering work done by a Cleveland Swede, Emil Forsberg, we do have a brief study of the Swedes in Cleveland from the first decade of the 20th century. 5 This short, but excellent treatise, was the basis of an anonymous article, "The Swedish-Americans in the State of Ohio," published in Vol. I of The Swedish Element in America, printed in Chicago in the 1930s, where the author has done little more than to paraphrase Forsberg's work.6 We also have a Swedish city directory for Cleveland which gives us a good account of the Swedish population in Cleveland in 1898.7 This study embraces about 1,500 names. 8 In the present study of the Swedes who in the Court of Common Pleas of Cuyahoga County declared their intent of becorning American citizens, the authors hope to give the readers yet another genealogical source for tracing Cleveland Swedes. Though the material to be found in these documents is scant, it offers three distinct fäets - (a) the name of the applicant, (b) the <late of arrival in the U.S., and (c) the <late ofhis declaration. In addition, we get his actual signature. The authors wish to thank the director of the Cuyahoga County Archives, Dr. Judith Cetina, and her able assistant, Glenda Hopkins, for their gracious help and cooperation in providing the important materials for this study. Additionally they wish to extend their appreciation to Western Reserve Historical Society for permission to use material from the Gustavus Adolphus Aid Society of Cleveland on deposit at its library. 9 114 Declarations of Swedes in Cleveland, OH Notes 1 Helge Nelson, The Swedes and the Swedish Settlements in North America I-Il (Lund 1943), I, p. 121; Il, map 14. :: 2 August Wilhelm Möller, a joumeyman dyer from Norrköping, left the Hedvig Parish in that city 11 Aug. 1841 for Arnerica and arrived in New York 19 Oct. 1841 aboard the Flavius.

  • The Scots in Sweden Part Ii
    THE SCOTS IN SWEDEN PART II (D) MILITARIA THE PERIOD OF CHARLES XII. No two other nations can boast of so large an element of romance in their history as the Scottish and the Swedish nations. The reader often forgets that he has facts before him, and not the most poetically fanciful or barbarously frightful imaginations of an overwrought brain. Think of the amount of mystery that enters into the life of Mary Queen of Scots; of the death-feuds of the Highland clans; of the wanderings of the Pretender. In Swedish history what can be more romantic than the adventurous youth of Gustavus Vasa, and the imprisonment, madness, and poisoning of King Erik XIV.? Whole periods in the life of Gustavus Adolphus - I here especially allude to his “Brautfahrt” (“search for a bride”) in Germany - are still shrouded in mystery, and now we come to the most romantic King of all, the stubbornly brave, fiery, and thoughtless Charles XII. - not a man who would have been, like Gustavus Adolphus, equally great in the tranquil times of peace, had he ever known them; not a lovable, wise man like Gustavus Vasa, whom the cruel persecutions of his youth did not render bitter and revengeful; but a remarkable man all the same, with something of meteoric rapidity and demoniac splendour in him or rather in his career. For he himself was plain almost to shabbiness, plain in speech, in his food, and in his dress. No strong drink ever passed his lips after the follies of his youth. But his great characteristic was his uncurbed love of war.

PREFACE Since ever dwellers on the Continent were first able to navigate the ocean, the isles of Great Britain and Ireland must have been objects which excited their supreme interest. To this we owe in part the com- ing of our own early ancestors to these isles. But while we have histories which inform us of the several historic invasions, they all seem to me to belittle far too much the influence of the Norse Invasions in particular. This error I would fain correct, so far as regards Celtic Scotland.

    Issue 63: How the Vikings Took up the Faith Conversion of the Vikings: Did You Know? Fascinating and little-known facts about the Vikings and their times. What's a Viking? To the Franks, they were Northmen or Danes (no matter if they were from Denmark or not). The English called them Danes and heathens. To the Irish, they were pagans. Eastern Europe called them the Rus. But the Norse term is the one that stuck: Vikings. The name probably came from the Norse word vik, meaning "bay" or "creek," or from the Vik area, the body of water now called Skagerrak, which sits between Denmark, Norway, and Sweden. In any case, it probably first referred only to the raiders (víkingr means pirate) and was later applied to Scandinavians as a whole between the time of the Lindesfarne raid (793) and the Battle of Hastings (1066). Thank the gods it's Frigg's day. Though Vikings have a reputation for hit-and-run raiding, Vikings actually settled down and influenced European culture long after the fires of invasion burned out. For example, many English words have roots in Scandinavian speech: take, window, husband, sky, anger, low, scant, loose, ugly, wrong, happy, thrive, ill, die, beer, anchor. … The most acute example is our days of the week. Originally the Romans named days for the seven most important celestial bodies (sun, moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, and Saturn). The Anglo-Saxons inserted the names of some Norse deities, by which we now name Tuesday through Friday: the war god Tiw (Old English for Tyr), Wodin (Odin), Thor, and fertility goddess Frigg.

  • The English-Language Military Historiography of Gustavus Adolphus in the Thirty Years’ War, 1900-Present Jeremy Murray
    Western Illinois Historical Review © 2013 Vol. V, Spring 2013 ISSN 2153-1714 The English-Language Military Historiography of Gustavus Adolphus in the Thirty Years’ War, 1900-Present Jeremy Murray With his ascension to the throne in 1611, following the death of his father Charles IX, Gustavus Adolphus began one of the greatest reigns of any Swedish sovereign. The military exploits of Gustavus helped to ensure the establishment of a Swedish empire and Swedish prominence as a great European power. During his reign of twenty-one years Gustavus instituted significant reforms of the Swedish military. He defeated, in separate wars, Denmark, Poland, and Russia, gaining from the latter two the provinces of Ingria and Livonia. He embarked upon his greatest campaign through Germany, from 1630 to his death at the Battle of Lützen in 1632, during the Thirty Years’ War. Though Gustavus’ achievements against Denmark, Russia, and Poland did much in establishing a Swedish Baltic empire, it was his exploits during the Thirty Years’ War that has drawn the most attention among historians. It was in the Thirty Years’ War that Sweden came to be directly involved in the dealings of the rest of Europe, breaking from its usual preference for staying in the periphery. It was through this involved action that Sweden gained its place among the great powers of Europe. There is much to be said by historians on the military endeavors of Gustavus Adolphus and his role in the Thirty Years’ War. An overwhelming majority of the studies on Gustavus Adolphus in the Thirty Years’ War have been written in German, Swedish, Danish, Russian, Polish, or numerous other European languages.

    ‘SONGS OF THY TRIUMPH’ A SHORT HISTORY OF GUSTAVUS ADOLPHUS COLLEGE by Steve Waldhauser ’70 PART ONE: BEGINNINGS (1862–1890) In May of 1862, the congregation of Swedish Lutheran immigrants in Red Wing, Minn., appropriated 20 dollars so that their pastor, Eric Norelius, could equip their church for parochial school purposes. The other dozen congregations of the Minnesota Conference, part of the new Augustana Synod organized in 1860, were crying for trained pastors and teachers and, as Norelius was already influential among Swedish Lutherans in Minnesota, the conference now looked to him to instruct not only the children of his own congregation but also “older” students that other congregations might send to him. From that unlikely education experiment came Gustavus Adolphus College. The first “older” student at Norelius’s school was Jonas Magny (formerly Magnuson), a 20-year-old from the Chisago Lake Swedish community who arrived in Red Wing in late September 1862, joined the Norelius household, and was in fact the only student throughout the fall. Five students from the Carver congregation arrived in December after Norelius sent word to fellow pastors that “a school for Swedes” would open in the winter, and by the middle of January 1863, enrollment had reached 11 (not counting his own congregation’s children). The school was coeducational from the beginning, some 20 years before any other Augustana institution could be called the same. The school was a short-term project for Norelius, but it was successful enough that the Minnesota Conference was willing to adopt it. The conference voted to relocate the school in East Union, a rural settlement in Carver County, and referred the matter to the Augustana Synod, which already was supporting Augustana College and Theological Seminary in Chicago.
