Notes for August Oscar SJÖDAHL
-Sjodahl is the original spelling of the name, that is what I am told, and when you look at people from Sweden/Norway (even Denmark) they spell it like that. In fact, they spell it many different ways. I wish I still had the name of the woman I spoke to in Minnesota years ago. She had traced it back to where it was once spelled Sjodahlweisse or Sjodahl-Weisse. Meaning "One who walks in the valley of the midnight sun"... or something to that affect. Sjodahl is Scandinavian, and I think it is primarily Swedish, yet I've seen people in Norway and Denmark with the last name.348

-“Many Swedes emigrated to America at that time. The main reason at that time was the starvation and our country due to crop failure after several years of dry weather.
And often the names were change to make it easier to be ”accepted” in the new country”.322

-“From my understanding August Shodahl (my great, great grandfather) when coming to the United States, Ellis Island switched the name…”348

-“And on Ellis Island they probably change the spelling of his name to Shodahl”.322

-Conflict: Source has him immigrated to Hawaii in 1878.344

-Next of Kin that was responsible for his burial was his daughter: Antoinette S. Kennedy.334

-Buried with his wife, and his two sons in same vault.334

-Borthwick Mortuary handled the services.345
