Misc. Notes
Based on child birth years, Nils/Nelson and Thilda, moved from Illinois to Kansas between 1882 and 1884. [3541]
Also in this household in 1880 was “Olivia JOHNSON” listed as “Sister” and “John BENSON” as “Nephew” (both born in Sweden). Nils is not known to have had a sister named Olivia, so perhaps she is a sister of Thilda. John could be the son of a sibling of Nils or Thilda. The last named member of the household in 1880 was a 20 year old male laborer but I cannot read his name clearly and Ancestry.com did not index him as part of this household. [3546]

Misc. Notes
The 1910 census reported that Thilda was the mother of five children of which only three were still living. [3566] Since this contradicts the eight children identified from all the census records, perhaps this detail was not supplied by Thilda.
