#OTD 8 January 1885, Baby Gertrud Victoria Fernanda died of pneumonia in the parish of Linköping, Östergötland, Sweden, at not quite 10 months old. She was the first child of my great-grandfather, Gustaf Emil Ferdinand Ekström. Almost exactly two years later, Gustaf buried his 23-year-old wife, Johanna Sofia Gustafsson, and their 8-week-old infant, Fritz Gustaf Gerhard. January seems to have been an unhealthy time for the young family. One child of the marriage survived.
