#OTD 7 July 1887 A Swedish immigrant couple had their first child in Marquette, Michigan. John Einar Froling was born to Peter Gustaf Fröling and Helena Maria Beckman, who had married the previous year. Eight more children followed.
Einar was 17 when his farmer father died. It is likely that he had to assume adult responsibilities. Unfortunately, before his 25th birthday, he died in a tragic accident when he was logging and was crushed by a falling tree.
He was a distant cousin.
