Signe Bergdahl - a photo on Flickriver

Signe Bergdahl

            Min farmors mor Signe Ingeborg Bergdahl, född 1897-08-24 i Kamlunge, Nederkalix, Norrbotten, som utomäktenskapligt barn till bagerskan Elin Bergdahl och bondesonen August Bergström. 
Signe gifte sig endast 17 år gammal, 1915-02-07 med bonden Arvid Larsson i Övermorjärv, som då tillhörde Töre socken, och de fick 10 barn.
Hon dog 1944-08-18 på Sandträsks Sanatorium utanför Boden, Norrbotten, efter att ha smittats av galopperande (exsudativ) TBC. TBC var en stor epidimi i Norrbotten på 30- och 40-talet, och Signe smittades då hon hjälpte några i byn att städa efter sjuka anhöriga som dött och förbereda inför begravningen. Sandträsks Sanatorium var så fullbelagt vid den här tidspunkten, att hennes dotter (min farmors syster) fick vara där och sköta henne eftersom sköterskorna inte räckte till. Vilket i sin tur ledde till att dottern också blev smittad av TBC. Signe dog 6 veckor efter hon smittats men hennes dotter överlevde.

My fathers maternal grandmother Signe Ingeborg Bergdahl, born 1897-08-24 in Nederkalix, Norrbotten, Sweden as a illegimite child of the baker Elin Bergdahl and the farmer's son August Bergström.
Signe got married, only 17 years old 1915-02-07 to the farmer Arvid Larsson in Övermorjärv, at that time a part of Töre parish, Norrbotten and they got 10 children.
She died in 1944-08-18 at Sandträsk sanatorium outside Boden, Sweden, after being infected with exudative TB. TB was real epidemic in these parts of Sweden in the 30's and 40's, and my great grandmother got infected after helping neighbors cleaning after sick familymembers who died, and prepare them for the funeral. The sanatorium was so overcrowded at this point that her daughter (my grandma's sister) had to nurse her because there was not enough nurses to take care of all the sick. Which led to that her daughter also got infected with TB. Signe died 6 weeks after being infected, her daughter survived.
