1916-1933 childhood

+ +

+Born October 26 1916. +At that time family lived in San Francisco CA. +

+ +
+ + Roy's family prior to WWI in San Fransisco. +
+ +

+ +

16 Costa St.

+ +

+1924 they move back to San Fransisco. +They live at 16 Costa St. +The house was on a steep hill and the horse pulling the wagon of furniture in the move could not make it up the hill. +So the family had to carry their things the last three blocks home. +The family owned a goat for milk and purchased fresh eggs from a neighbor who had chickens. +

+ +
+ + Costa St, San Fransisco. Picture taken sometime between 1924 and 1927. +
+ +

+At this time Roy's father Yens Nielsen worked a variety of odd jobs. +Yens' main job was nightwatchman at the California shade and cloth factory. +He also had a job training guard dogs, where he played the role of "bad guy to be subdued". +

+ +

+The entire family would go to the Russian River camp spot on public transportation to vacation. +Sunday afternoon Jens would return to SF to work the week and then return the next weekend, etc. +They may have stayed at the river multiple weeks each summer. +

+ +

Church Caretaker

+ +

+In 1927 the family moved to the Swedish Baptist Church in San Fransisco. +It was here that Roy and Inge became believers during services by a visiting evangelist T. Gideon Solandar. +The family cared for the church together and lived in an apartment above the church. +

+ +

death of parents

+ +

+Jens' died suddenly in January 1930. +In response to what was thought to be a ruptured stomach ulcer a friend, Mr. Smith, drove Jens, in his Dodge touring car, from the church to UCSF. +UCSF denied him care as he was too poor. +From there Mr. Smith drove Jens to the SF County Hospital. +There they operated on Jens and he died the next day. +Hubert remembered that they visited briefly with Jens just before he died. +The pastor told them to tell Jens they would see him in glory but they refused. +

+ +

+Their uncle Hans helped them care for a church for a while after Jens died. +Six months after Jens' death the mother Sophie began hemorrhaging and was hospitalized and put into a nursing home. +During this time Ingeborg lived with a family in Oakland who were relatives of Dwayne Nelson and Hubert and Roy lived with two families in San Fransisco. +They slept in the basement of the Olsens and ate next door with the Holmlunds. +Arnie was already living in a boarding house in Berkeley. +

+ +

+On August 27 1931 Sophie was well enough to come home. +They rented an inexpensive flat on Anderson St. +However the very day she came home the hemorrhaging began again. +She was taken to the County Hospital where she died the next day. +The family was able to experience home together for only one day. +According to Arne they barely managed to pay for Sophie's funeral. +

+ +

+Jens, Sophie, and Rolph are buried at Cypress Lawn cemetery, San Fransisco. +
