They were able to obtain three visas for the travel; however, by the time the visas arrived, their son Karl Olof Gunnar had been born, and they were forced to leave Gulli behind with her grandparents.

This area encompasses Bishop Hill, which was a village founded by Swedish immigrants in 1846.^[17] In the seven years since they arrived in the United States, they have had two more children: Alice, now age 4, and Dennis, age 2. Gunnard is 9 years old. This census shows that Arvid and Karin were renting the home they lived in, which was on a farm. The listing also indicates that they had a "radio set." Additionally, it shows their ages at their first marriage, which indicates that they were married 10 years before, or in 1920.^[11]
