Mary Odelia Armstrong was the daughter of James Adelbert Armstrong & Julia Simmons and in 1914 (pic on left), she married a Swedish boy named Einar Steganus Lundberg - but he went by Edward, or Ed.

Ed was the son of Johan Gustaf Lundberg & Selma Kristina Fransdotter and it appears he came over around 1908; his daughter's marriage record indicates he was a highway engineer.

Mary & Ed had 4 children - Einar, Mary, Adah & Adora.
