I believe her Swedish name was Bengta Olsson. Her emigration record says that she went to Duluth, Minnesota so that is consistent with the rest of the known information.

Bengta was born 14 August 1864 to Olof Persson and Gunild Swensdotter. I didn't follow the records but Gunild must have died because Olof married Maria Jönsdotter in 1870 and had at least 5 more children that I know about. Here is the birth record for Bengta.

She always had a flower garden. She did not like cats. She broke a hip toward the end of her life, and was cared for by her daughters, Anna, Ida, and Freda at home in the farm house at Midway.
