“I had a marvelous family, a sister and two brothers, a wonderful home,” said 104-year-old Evelyn Sundholm of Jamestown. “I was the youngest of four and I was a spoiled brat.”
She was born to William and Judith Swanson at their Swede Hill home on Feb. 24, 1917. Swanson delivered mail in the factory district three times daily.
“When it was cold, many families had soup and coffee for him,” said his daughter.
