Johan was born on December 18, 1839 in Sweden. I do not know who Johan's parents where at this point. Johan married Sofia Petersdotter (1838-1891). They had six children:
- John Martin (1863-1937)
- Solomon Anskarius (1870-1882)
- Clara Wilhelmina (my 2nd great grandmother; 1873-1926)
- Anna Teresia (1878-1945)
- Frank (1883-?)
- Selma (?)
According to the 1880 census, Johan and his family arrived in the states in 1880 and they were living in Sycamore, Illinois. Johan would continue living in Sycamore until his death.
Sofia died on March 21, 1891 and Johan would remarry by November 20, 1891 to Albertina Carlson (1846-1905).
Johan died on July 20, 1901 at age 61. Johan is buried at Elmwood Cemetery in Sycamore, Illinois.
