Note	NILSON FAMILY HISTORY Father, Nils Nilson, came to Wyoming from Billinge, Sweden, probably inthe year 1887. Mother, Emma Bjorklund, came the following year and theywere married at Eothan, Wyoming by John Pearson, Justice of the peace. Nils had homesteaded on the Bear Lodge, where they immediately made theirhome and lived until his death in 1920. To this family ten children wereborn: Nancie (who was a twin, the other child was still born and isburied in Emma’s rose garden under her bedroom window), Alvin, Anna,Nellie, Oscar, Jim, Roy, May, and Elsie. Probably the reason for coming to America, and the new world, was thespirit of adventure and a challenge to young people at that time, just asit was for the older children when they reached their maturity. Five ofthe nine went west to Washington state where they made their permanenthomes. It was a long trip from Malmo, Sweden, by boat to New York City and fromthere to Wyoming by rail. Imagine a young woman like mother coming thatfar alone. The first house they lived in was small and just a short distance west ofthe family log house. Eothan was our first post office which was run bythe Pearsons who also had a store where we bought supplies. After someyears that post office was discontinued and Aladdin became our postoffice and source of supplies. Most of his life father traveled by horse and wagon. The horses were Jimand Chub, the saddle horse was Sam. We had a one-seated top buggy, and athree-seated spring wagon. When we went in the three-seated wagon we usedumbrellas for protection from the sun. Mother used to drive the top buggy alone, some to visit. It was just the last few years of his life thatfather had an automobile. Father was a student, always studying and reading. He was civic minded, amember of the school board along with Mr. Herb Simms and a Mr. Ellsbury. The school district must have comprised quite a territory because Mr.Sims lived in Mona, Wyoming and Ellsburys were from Farrell, nearSundance, we were in between. Our home was named Highland Park, and thatis what it was, a home-like park on the highlands. Father was a surveyor, a civil engineer, and he was elected countysurveyor for some years before his death, six years, I think. The lastyear he made a complete map of Crook County, locating all places likedams, roads, etc. related to his surveying. We used to help him make theblue prints. Mother was a little lady from Sweden who made the home homey. She was anexcellent seamstress and kept us all covered. The ever versatile floursack found many uses. Once a year we ordered supplies from MontgomeryWard. These came by freight to Aladdin by train and were hauled home inthe wagon. It was really fun and exciting to unpack the boxes. The older kids walked to a school on Beaver Creek, which was a long walk.After a while there were enough of our own family to have a school in thefirst dwelling house at home. Later the men got together and built a logschool house that accommodated more children, and finally the fouryoungest walked down the hill to the Clayton place where school was heldin an old house. The Clayton place and our old home place are owned byour cousin Frances and her husband Dillon Ruland. The folks were Swedish Lutherans and as there was no church close wecould not have regular church attendance. We did go to a Sunday schooleast of Eothan at a Hat Creek schoolhouse. We also went to some churchactivities at the Alva church. Dillon Ruland’s mother would mail outlittle recitations for us to learn, especially at Christmas time. We were happy to hop up on theplatform to say our pieces. Mrs. Ruland always had a reward for each one,a little china toy or other token. We had a beautiful home built up in the few years father lived. Acomplete orchard with all kinds of apple trees, other fruit trees, andasparagus and rhubarb. It was really a miracle with no easy way to getwater. Mother even had a flower garden, and a rose garden beside herbedroom widow. There was a unique way of getting water. Eight hundred feet down thecanyon there was a wooden covered tank that held a depth of water thatran into this covered tank from a spring. In the yard at the top of thehill on a platform a pail was fastened to a grooved wheel. This waterpail ran on a wire, like a telephone wire which was fastened to theplatform. A rope on a big wheel fastened on the platform was turned tolet the pail down on the wire to the tank of spring water where itdipped, filled with water, and then the big wheel was turned winding therope up around it and the pail full of water was pulled up to the platform, dumped into a pail, carried to the house, and we hadwater. Sometimes the pail would jump off the wire, then someone wouldhave to walk down the canyon and put it back on its course. Of the nine children, Alvin and Jim were killed in accidents. Oscar andNellie died of heart trouble. Nancie lives in Seattle, Anna in Wenatchee,and Elsie in Port Orchard, all in Washington. Roy lives at Hulett,Wyoming, and May at Fairburn, South Dakota. This resume has been done by Roy and May, organized by a granddaughter,Evelyn Stearns, and typed by a great-granddaughter, Becky Peterson, ofNils and Emma Nilson. We could ramble on but I think our word limit hasbeen surpassed. The pictures help tell the story.

Note	Alfred Nilson arrived in Belle Fourche, South Dakota the 15th of July,1892 on his nineteenth birthday, from Billinge, Sweden. Leaving Grimby,England where he bought a small Valise which held all of his worldlypossessions, he and a neighbor lad, Gene Hejde, started for America. Theship also carried cattle for other emigrants who were coming to a new and free country. They landed in Quebec, Canada, and bought a train ticket to BelleFourche, South Dakota. Somewhere through Iowa the conductor tore off thewrong part of their ticket, causing them trouble, as the next conductorwanted to send them back east. Not being able to speak English this wasrather frustrating to all. At Belle Fourche they were fortunate to contact a Mr. Bailey, who livedon Sour Dough, north of Aladdin. He gave them a ride that far, thenpointed out the direction they should go to get to Eothen. Mr. Hejdestopped at his brother Janes Hejde’s place two miles west of Aladdin.Here Alfred, with his little valise, alone in a strange country walked on to his brother Nils Nilson’shomestead, two miles west of the John Pearson sawmill at Eothen. Hearrived late in the evening, where he made the acquaintance of his threenieces and a nephew. A month long journey had ended. He worked at different jobs both in the Eothen, Wyoming and Spearfish,South Dakota areas. He hauled the first load of lumber from the Pearsonsawmill to Aladdin, to be used in the construction of the present Aladdin(Weaver) store. In 1893 he worked for W.W. 'Tobe' Driskill of Spearfish, at his CampStool ranch on Lytle Creek, east of the Devil’s Tower. Here he visitedwith William Rogers and Willard Ripley, ranchers of the area, who weremaking the pegs and other preparations to climb the tower. On the 3rd ofJuly Alfred drove a team and buggy from Spearfish, accompanied by two Driskill youths. Thealong with many others witnessed the climb of Rogers on July, 4th 1893. Rogers unfurled the American flag and placed it on the tower. The windbroke the staff and the flag floated down into the crowd. It was cut intosmall pieces and sold for 25 cents each. Later, Alfred worked for Sam Moses for the Flying V Cattle Company on theMoreau River in South Dakota. In 1900 he carried the mail for the contractor, Troed Pearson, fromAladdin, Wyoming to Hulett, Wyoming, with team and cart or horsebackleading a pack horse. He filed on a homestead adjoining his brother’s homestead and built asmall log cabin there. The Forest Service secured this land in lateryears. Part of the cabin is still standing. In April 1900, Hilda Pearson, along with her two brothers, Troed andPeter, arrived at their Uncle John Pearson’s. They were returning toWyoming, after spending the Christmas holidays in Sweden with theirparents and other relatives. They first arrived in Wyoming several yearsearlier. As Mr. Pearson’s wife had recently passed away his niece, Hilda, washired to care for his two year old son and cook for the mill hands. latershe worked for the Smith Folsom family west of Beulah, Wyoming. In March 1902, she married Alfred Nilson. They moved to Grants Pass,Oregon and bought a home and Alfred worked on the railroad. They returnedto the Bear Lodge in 1904 where they ranched until retiring and livedthere the remainder of their lives. They are buried in the Alva Cemetery. One son, Carl, now owns the ranch and also has his father’s brand whichis - HV Alfred and Hilda had three other children, Oscar, Mrs. Tom (Agnes) Quick,and Mrs. Dillon (Frances) Ruland. Oscar married Ada Evenson the 4th of July, 1927. Agnes married Tom Quickthe 17th of February, 1927 and Frances married Dillon B. Ruland the 25thof June, 1919.
