Biography

Born 7 April 1840 in Kättestorp, Kisa (E). Died 10 April 1927 in Södra Vi (H). Magnus Vilhelm was born in Kättestorp in Kisa (E) in 1840. The date seems to vary: 1/5, 7/5 and 7/4.This latter date is found in the church book registering births and can therefore be the right one. According to Linnea Carlsson, who is a grandchild of Magnus Vilhelm, he was christened to Vilhelm because he was born on the Vilhelm day, which is the sixth of April. His father was Nils Magnus Månsson and his mother Anna Lena Persdotter. Godfathers and godmothers were Sven Månsson in Misterfall, the farmhand Sven Isak Jonsson in Vimantorp, the wife Karolina Karlsdotter ibid. and the maid Stina Sofia Persdotter in Misterfall. The Månsson family moved from Kättestorp to Havredalen, Vimantorp, the same year that his son was born. In 1843 the family moved again - this time to Boås Utjord in Kisa, where Magnus Vilhelm's father died 1844-05-06, barely 33 years old. Magnus Vilhem was four years of age at that time. The same year Magnus Vilhem and his mother moved to Sven Månsson in Misterhult (mentioned above), where Anna Lena Persdotter's sister, Greta Lisa Persdotter, was wife and mistress of the household. In the book of the parish catechetical meeting of Kisa (E) 1841-45 you can find Magnus Vilhem together with his mother, who is named the widow Anna Lena Persdotter. Magnus Vilhem moved from Kisa (E) to Tidersrum (E) in 1861. He married Karolina Josefina 1864-10-22. Their son Nils Johan was born on the 2nd of May the next year. Magnus Vilhem moved with his family to Horva in Tidersrum socken in 1868. In March 1873 Magnus Vilhem rented the farm Lindefall in the parish of Södra Vi in Småland, where the family now had moved. Later Magnus Vilhem bought Hagstugan near Trångrössle, Södra Vi. According to Linnea Carlson her brothers and sisters used to pick wood anemones and hepaticas to congratulate their grandfather on his birthday. It was important that the flowers did grow in time so the children used to take the snow away so that the plants would be ready to pick. In 1927 Magnus Vilhem died at Hagstugan in Södra Vi.
