HistorySheWrote<p><a href="https://mindly.social/tags/OTD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OTD</span></a> 8 March 1808 The former crofter Peter Nilsson, 69, died from pneumonia in Hannäs parish, Kalmar County, Sweden. His wife, Stina Östensdotter, had died 16 months previously and his son, Lars Persson, had taken over the croft in 1805. After raising 6 children and 2 stepchildren, Peter was probably ready to slow down. Fortunately his son was able to provide for him and Stina until their deaths, sparing them the horrors of the poorhouse. They were my 5th-great-grandparents.<br><a href="https://mindly.social/tags/genealogy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>genealogy</span></a></p>
