Maria Anderson

Probably Maria Carolina Anderson, married to Gottherd Hedberg.

Photo found in an antique shop in Seattle, Washington. No info listed on the back of the photo, but included were 2 other photos, one of which was labeled "Mary & Gottherd Hedberg". In researching I found that Gottherd Hedberg's wife was Maria Carolina Anderson, born February 22, 1869 in Sweden. The woman in this photo matches exactly the women in the photo with Gottherd (also uploaded on AncientFaces).

Date & Place: at Boyd Photographer in Seattle, Washington USA

AncientFaces co-founder Pam has rescued a lot of photos over the years and often reunites them with their families. This photo of Maria Carolina (Anderson) Hedberg is one of those photos.

Maria was born in Sweden, emigrated to the United States, and married a logger in Washington State. She and her husband Gotthard lived in Washington and Alaska, and they had one son. Maria died in Puyallup, Washington and was buried on Camano Island in Washington.

What stands out to me about this photo is how fashionable Maria is. The gloves, the hat, the blouse, the tiny waist. Although she was the immigrant wife of a logger & farmer who lived in the "wild west", she kept up her style. Discover more about Maria's life and see more photos

Likely, that was her very best outfit...maybe even the one she got married in.

Maria Carolina Anderson Hedberg Feb 22, 1869 - Oct 22, 1928 Puyallup, Washington, United States

Maria Carolina (Anderson) Hedberg's parents were Nils Peter Anderson (1834 - 1916), born in Sweden, and Emma Lovisa Martinsdotter, who died in 1879 in Sweden. She had siblings Jonan, Anton, Emma, and Gus. Maria married Gotthard Hedberg on June 14, 1889, in Seattle Washington. When they married, Gotthard was a logger, age 30. Maria was 28 and a "domestic". Both of Maria's and Gotthard's parents had been born in Sweden. When Maria was 40, she was in Fairbanks Alaska and still married to Gotthard, 42, and now living with their son Frank, 10. A decade later, Maria and Gotthard were living in Mabana, Washington, and Maria was now a naturalized United States citizen. Gotthard's brother, Otto, 54, was living with them, as was their son, Frank, 20. Gotthard was a farmer, son Frank was helping on the farm, and brother Otto was a laborer in a logging camp.

My life-time love of geneology and old photos led to the concept of Ancientfaces back in 1999....through the site I have made contact with previously unknown cousins in Australia, Tasmania, England, Scotland and various states in the US, broadening and enriching my family stories, photos and family relationships. The names I am researching resided in and/or settled the following areas: South Wales; Scotland; Northern Ireland; Normandy; Germany, Belgium & the Netherlands; Virginia; West Virginia, Kentucky, Kansas, Idaho and Washington state; first wave of settlers in the Hudson River & Mohawk River Vallies; founding fathers of New Haven, Middlesex and New London Counties, CT, along with Suffolk, Norfolk & Middlesex Counties in MA; first wave of settlers to Quebec and Ontario, Canada. Also, I am a member of the Mayflower Society after tracing my maternal side to John Billington, a Mayflower passenger ( with his family) who settled in Plymouth , and signed, the Mayflower compact.

I want to build a place where my son can meet his great-grandparents. My grandmother Marian Joyce (Benning) Kroetch always wanted to meet her great-grandchildren, but she died just a handful of years before my son's birth. So while she didn't have the opportunity to meet him, at least he will be able to know her. For more information about what we're building see About AncientFaces. For information on the folks who build and support the community see Daniel - Founder & Creator.
My father's side is full blood Sicilian and my mother's side is a combination of Welsh, Scottish, German and a few other European cultures. One of my more colorful (ahem black sheep) family members came over on the Mayflower. He was among the first to be hanged in the New World for a criminal offense he made while onboard the ship.
