The deceased was born in Mora, Dalarne, Sweden, on September 29, 1847. He emigrated to the United States in 1870, coming first to Omaha and later to this vicinity where he first farmed the place now occupied by William Heyne just south of Uehling, and then the farm in Swaburg where the Allan Anderson family now reside. In 1878 Mr. Lindquist was united in marriage at Omaha to Miss Anna Peterson of Swaburg. After retiring from farm life they moved to Omaha and later spent several years in Canada and Minnesota, after which they established a home in Uehling, where they resided until six years ago when they moved to Fremont. Mr. Lindquist is survived by his widow and a foster daughter, their niece, Mrs. Frances Melin, of Howard Lake, Minn. There are also a large number of other relatives among whom are Mrs. Andrew Erickson, Andrew Olson and Eric Olson, niece and a nephews, of Swaburg. Funeral services were held Thursday afternoon, with a short prayer service at Fremont conducted by the Rev. Francis Pryor of the Salem Lutheran church there, followed by the formal service at the Congregational church in Uehling, with Dr. Leonard Stromberg, pastor of the Swedish Methodist church of northwest of Oakland, in charge. Mrs. Leroy Buck and Mrs. Swen Norlen sang several duet numbers, with Mrs. Ivan Wedergren presiding at the piano. The remains were interred in the family lot in the Baptist cemetery at Swaburg.
