Research Notes

Found the reference for the original printed obituary I have for her as being: The Chicago Tribune, Sunday, February 12, 1950, page 52. NOTE: It does not include when she was born, nor even the day she died, but simply states: "EDGREN--Anna Edgren, nee Berggren, be- / loved wife of the late Andrew Edgren, fond mother of Clarence J., Roy N., Lillian I., / Wesley D., Stanley A., and the late Harold / A. Edgren, grandmother of 10 grandchildren. / Resting at funeral home, 5831 W. Chicago / avenue. Service Monday, 2 p. m., at / Austin Trinity Methodist church, Menard / avenue and Augusta boulevard. Interment / Forest Home." .
