Olof William Moline (1888-1946) - Family History notes
Family History
As told to me by Harlan Anderson from several family histories.
Olof Wilhelm Moline (Bill Moline) did not have the funds available for passage and set himself up in the United States. His sister and brother-in-law (Mr. & Mrs. Gust Anderson) sent him the money to come to America. He left Attmar, Sweden on May 21, 1907 aboard the Vessel SS Baltic and arrived in New York on May 31st 1907. (Correction: He first went to the United Kingdom and left Liverpool on May 31st 1907, arriving in New York on June 9th 1907).
To repay them and get himself started he worked in Cedar River, Mich. at a sawmill from June 12th, 1907 until April 1909. As handed down, he was not happy because his brother-in-law more or less tried to run his life as his brother-in-law saw fit.
In April 1909, as soon as his dept to his brother in law was paid, he came to Minneapolis and on Nov. 16, 1912 he married Christine Emilia Larson. The farm economy during World War One boomed. Bill Moline and Christine with high hopes decided to move from Minneapolis and made arrangements to purchase Christine's childhood home from her brother Gust Larson, who in turn moved to Gonvick, Mn. They moved to the farm on May 1st, 1917. Because of the optimistic farm economy, they mortgaged the farm to the hilt so as to maximize their yield from the land in which they decided to call home.
Prosperity on the farm was not to last for long. As a precursor to the great depression, the bottom fell out of the farm economy (in the early 1920s). Bill and Christine lost the farm due to financial difficulties, only to regain it at a later date. In this union were born six children. One daughter, Edith, came down with T.B., which at the time modern medicine could be of little help. On Nov. 23, 1935, Edith was taken to a T.B. sanitarium by hearse due to the lack of an ambulance. Sadly, she died the next day, Nov. 24, 1935. Christine contracted T.B. and passed away at the sanitarium on Aug. 3, 1938.
By Feb. 1943, Bill Moline left the farm and moved back to Minneapolis.
Unhappily, unfortunately he turned to alcohol for relief. He died April 4, 1946 at 7:00 AM at Minneapolis General Hospital due to kidney failure caused by acute alcoholism. |

Olof William Moline (1888-1946) - Obituary
Services Held For Wm. Moline
Funeral services were held last Wednesday, April 17, at the Walter Anderson funeral home in Minneapolis at eleven o'clock and at the Knapp Lutheran Church at 2:30 p.m. for Otto William Moline, who passed away at the Minneapolis General Hospital Sunday morning, April 14, 1946, at 2:00 a.m. He had been in ailing health for the past year and had been a patient at the hospital ten days. Death was caused by kidney trouble.
William Moline was born in Altmar Bölam, Medelpad, Sweden on July 2, 1888, and at the time of his death was 57 years, 9 months, and 12 days old.
On May 7, 1907 he left for America, arriving in Cedar River, Michigan on June 12, 1907, where he made his home with his sister and brother-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Gust Anderson, for two years. In April 1909 he came to Minneapolis and on November 16, 1912 was united in marriage to Christine Amelia Larson who preceded Mr. Moline in death on August 2, 1938.
To this union were born six children, one daughter, Edith, passing away on November 24, 1935.
Mr. and Mrs. Moline and family made their home in Minneapolis until May 1, 1917 when they moved to the farm north of Dassel. He lived there for twenty-six years. In February, 1943 Mr. Moline moved back to Minneapolis and made his home there until his death.
Surviving Mr. Moline are five children: two sons, Bertil and Holger and three daughters, Mrs. Ernest Dahl (Agnes), Mrs. William Eckstein (Esther), Mrs. Pete Anderson (Vernal), all of Minneapolis; also three sisters, Mrs. Gust Anderson of Stephenson, Mich., and Mrs. Peter Peterson and Mrs. Langbert Pearson in Sweden.
