Notes

I appreciate all your info. My neighbor's mother was Esther Linea BERGQUIST, sister of Florence Margaret Ingaborg BERGQUIST (1910-1998).

I found the marriage license for Florence and William HENNESSEE through Ancestry. Their were two more girls in this family. Marie Eugenia Emelia BERGQUIST (1907-1950) married Hollis Sylvester AUSTIN. Violet Elizabeth BERGQUIST (1909-1932) married Sharon A. SMITH. When Violet died in 1932, she had a four year old daughter. In 1934 Sharon SMITH married the sister Esther BERGQUIST.

Florence and her three sisters were children of Charles (Charley) Peter BERGQUIST and Emelia Amalia OBERG. Charles was born in 1867 or 1868 in Sweden. He died on 16 Mar 1937 in Waukegan, Lake Co., IL Emelia was born 4 May 1872 in Karlskrona, Sweden. She died 16 Nov 1934 in Waukegan. I am trying to find their parents, but no clues so far.
