John Tedstrom, Israel Johnson and Ben Peterson, three of our prosperous farmer friends, took their departure Monday for their native land, Sweden, to spend about six weeks visiting among their old friends and countrymen. They are all among our oldest settlers, and have become well and comfortably fixed for life by their industry and frugality, and can well afford to take a vacation. Their friends wish them a pleasant voyage and visit and a safe return.

Found in MoundValley Herald Oct. 15, 1897

Our Swede Friends, John Tedstrom and Israel Johnson, who went back to Sweden in July to visit relatives, returned home last Sunday. They had a pleasant journey and a happy time in the old country and came back feeling rejuvenated and much benefited by the trip.

Notes for Frank A. King:
Frank patented a meter for the radiator before the gauges were put in the dashboard. This fit in place of the radiator cap. He also had patents for airplane parts that were supposedly sold to the government.
I have not found these.

Frank raced motorcycles in CA. He once wrecked while racing on wooden surface and had to have numerous splinters removed from back - - he quit after this. Will Tedstrom was administrator of King's estate. This was told to me by Juanita T. Bailey 1996. She had spent summers with the Kings as a small child. The Kings had no children.
