Anders Ericsson (1819 - 1901)

Biography

Anders was born in 1819^[1] as the fourth child and first son of Eric Andersson and his wife Ellika Andersdotter in Räflabacken.^[2] Sometime between 1822 and 1826 (when his two younger siblings Cajsa and Johannes were born, respectively) the family moved to Klockaregården, where Anders would live until 1853.^[3][4][5][6]

In 1842^[7] he married Johanna Andersdotter, with whom he had six children:

• Johan August, born 1843^[8]

• Ephraim, born 1846^[9] and dead from measles after only nine months^[10]

• Lars Peter, born 1848^[11]

• Maja Cajsa, born 1851^[12]

• Efraim, born 1856^[13]

• Alfred, born 1861^[14]

In 1853 the family moved to Sonarp Mellangården, where they took over Johanna's parents' farm.^[15] Johanna passed away in 1863^[16] and in 1865 Anders married Kajsa Larsdotter.^[17] In 1871,^[18] Anders sold the farm to his son Lars Peter and moved to Sonarp Dalbogården^[19] with his wife and three youngest children. However, Kajsa passed away in 1876^[20][21] and in 1882 they switched farms with Lars Peter's family, moving back to Mellangården.^[22][23] Then in 1885, his youngest son Alfred married and took over the running of the farm, on the condition that Anders was allowed to live there until he died; this was a fairly common situation, known as being i brödet ("in the bread", because he was supplied with food).^[24]

Anders passed away from old age in 1901,^[25] 82 years old.
