DR. F. E. BERGE

Born in Sweden in 1870. Came
to the United States as a child. He
graduated from the University at
Ann Arbor, Michigan, after which
he located in Grand Rapids, where
he practiced as a physician and
surgeon until he came to Los Angeles.
Dr. Berge’s reputation in Grand
Rapids, as one of the leading
surgeons in that community, has
followed him here. Since coming to
Los Angeles he has interested
himself to a great extent in the Swedish
Colony, and you will find him always
ready and willing to give his services
to anything that is for the good of
his fellow-countrymen.

H. H. BERGGREN

came to United States in 1883. He
has traveled very much and came to
Lindsborg, Kansas, in 1888. He
came to Los Angeles five years ago
and was the proprietor of “Home
Dairy Lunch** until May, 1916,
when he sold his place of business
and is now retired. He is
vice-president for the Singing Society
Harmony and a member of
Nord-stjernan, V. O.

HERMAN BOSTROM

Was born in Sweden, April 8th,
1888, where he graduated from
High School. He came to
Stockholm shortly after he had
finished his education and took a
position with the O. A. Lilgegren
Book Store. After a short time he
was offered a position as head clerk
in the paper department of
West-ling*s Book & Stationery Co., which
position he held until the firm
discontinued business. In 1907 Mr.
Bostrom started his own wholesale
paper business and continued for
three years, when he sold out to a
stock company of which he became
president.

He left Sweden in 1911 for
England but shortly thereafter he
decided to come to the United States.
He first located in New York City,
where he held a position as
salesman and also manager of a life
insurance company. He came to Los
Angeles only last year. During the

short time he has resided in Los
Angeles, he has been very active in
the Swedish Colony, especially
among the Vasa Order of America.
He is at present president of the
Local Lodge North Star. It can be
rightly said of Mr. Bostrom that he is
a good booster. He has done a great
deal to work up the interest for the
Vasa Order, also for the Swedish
Day on which Committee he is
serving as Secretary. He is a festival
speaker and a good w*riter and
contributes often to the columns of the
local Swedish paper and others. He
is chairman of the Finance
Committee of the Singing Society Harmonie,
and a member of the
Swedish-Amer-ican National League.

1893. Moved to Los Angeles in
1 894. He was with the Palace
Hotel about two years, 189 7-98, and
has been in his present business for

by heart and is always ready to do
more than his share for anything
good for our common interests.

J. M. CARLSON

185 7. Came to America together
with his parents when only a boy of
eleven, or in 1 869. His parents
located in Sycamore, Ills., where they
bought a small farm. His early
training on the farm in Illinois,
together with his keen foresight soon
placed him on his own farm. He
moved to Newmangrove, Neb., in
1887 where he bought a large farm
which he soon made one of the show
places in that community. Owing to
his health he was forced to retire
from a farmer’s life while yet in
middle age, and he moved to California
in 1908. Was married to Helen
Olson of De Kalb, Ills., in 1894, and
has four children, three boys and one
girl. Mr. Carlson is always willing
and ready to promote the interests
of our Swedish Colony here. He is
a member of the Swedish Lutheran
Church, where he has served as
Treasurer and Trustee for several
years.
