Notes
Note for: Anders Almstrom, 4 JUN 1849 - AFT 1903
Anders Almstrom was a tailor in Skivarp, Sweden. The family home was in
existence until it was finally torn down in about 1983. The family grave
in
Skivarp has been dug up because the is no family in the area to maintain
it but the family headstone is still there but moved to the side of the
graveyard.
Anders was born with the name Anders Martensson but was given the name of
Anders Sand when he entered the military 11 February 1867. When he was
discharged from the military and returned home he adopted the name of
Almstrom. Such multiple name changes were not uncommon in old Sweden.

BURIAL IN SKIVARP
The remains of the master tailor Anders Almstrom in Almarod, Skivarp,
were laid to rest this Sunday in the parish churchyard after the church
service was concluded. While the organ played, the casket--adorned with
wreaths--was carried in and set down in the church sanctuary. The funeral
maces were carried by the farmers Nils Larsson and Axel Lindstrom,
Almarod. After the precentor Miss Karin Nilsson had sung hymn 452, verse
1, the funeral service was conducted by the parson P. Frankov.
After the "Our Father" and the benediction, Miss Nilsson sang a
beautiful hymn to organ accompaniment, and finally "Send, Lord, Thine
Angels Forth." After the casket was placed into the grave, the precentor
sang the hymn verse "Come, Jesus, my Savior'. Many beautiful wreaths
befit the memory of the deceased. Afterwards, a dinner for the funeral
guests was given in the house of mourning.
The deceased was around 75 years old at the time of his death and had
been a capable craftsman in the prime of his life. As the nearest
mourners are the deceased's two daughters as well as grandchildren.
Trelleborgs Allehanda reports that the one daughter resides in
Trelleborg, while the other one has lived in America for many years.
