Avisartikkel fra Chicago

[dn14091]

Er det noen som vet hvor man kan finne stoff fra aviser i Chicago på 1930-tallet? Jeg leter etter et ran/mord på en svenske, min morfars bror. Finnes det søkbare aviser?

Den norsk-amerikanske avisen "Skandinaven" ble utgitt i Chicago. Nasjonalbiblioteket (i Oslo) har den på mikrofilm.

Takk Tove. Da prøver jeg der!
Kom plutselig på at kanskje utvandrermuseet på Hamar kan ha aviser fra Chicago. Skal kontakten dem også.

What is his name?

[dn14091]

Hi.
His name was (Alfred) Mauritz Sundström. I believe he called himself Maurits with s, and/or Maurice/Morris in the US. He was born in Sweden in march 1874. I'm pretty sure it was him I found in the 1930 US Census, Buhl, Minnesota. He was, supposedly, on his way home to Sweden, and stoped in Chicago to say goodbye to his friends, the Baptists when he was robbed and shot dead. He was carrying a large sum of money to bring home to Sweden. I have no date other than the census.
Greatful for any help!
