Moving on to another of Mathias’ brothers, let’s check in on Janus Lund’s family in 1880.

Of interest:
According to wikipedia: The term “teamster” originally referred to a person who drove a team of draft animals, usually a wagon drawn by oxen, horses, or mules. This term was common by the time of the Mexican-American War (1848) and the Indian Wars throughout the 19th and early 20th centuries on the American frontier.
Janus’ wife, Christina is the sister of Mathias’ wife Pauline.
Albert is Christina’s son from a previous marriage…according to the newFamilySearch.org family group sheet Christina was married to an Albert Miller in 1869. I haven’t found a census for them yet but will look for that next.
The second daughter’s name is listed in newFamilySearch as Lucinda which makes a lot more sense then Lucinida.
I already posted this Census as part of my investigation into Lloyd Lund, but I thought I better post the transcription too.

A few interesting things:
Heber’s parents are listed as being born in Utah, but I know that his father Mathias was born in Denmark and his mother Pauline was born in Sweden. (they are also Sadie and Clide’s parents) This is a good example of being cautious of information on any of these records.
According to DollarTimes, $1,000.00 in 1930 had the same buying power as $12,742.97 in 2011. (Annual inflation over this period was 3.19%). Not sure I believe that because even if Heber’s farm property in Plain City was only 1 acre, it would be worth at least $50,000 but most likely up to about $100,000.
I wonder which department store the girls (Clide and Sadie) worked at. They must have gone into Ogden because there’s no Department store in Plain City.
Let’s take a look at the 1870 census for Hans and Bertha. Remember, that by the 1880 census Bertha is married to Hans’ younger brother Willard. Unfortunately, this census gives us little information.

Page No. 8, Plain City, Weber, Utah, 18 Jun 1870 Lines 35-37. Dwelling #58, Family #58.
Line 35. Funck, H P, 26, M, W, farmer, pob: Denmark, father of foreign birth, mother of foreign birth. Line 36. —–, Bertha A, 22, F, W, keeping house, pob: Norway, father of foreign birth, mother of foreign birth. Line 37. —–, Anna, 2/12, F, W, pob: Utah, father of foreign birth, mother of foreign birth, born in Apr 1870.
Items of note:
Using the last name Funck.
We now know that Anna (Annie) was born in April of 1870.
I have Hans’ death date as 26 Sep 1872, from a family group record for his father Diderich from the new Family Search. I wonder what he died of at such a young age (28 years old). That same family group record lists the marriage between Willard and Bertha as 1868…when Hans was still alive, and Willard would have been 10 years old! I think someone looked at Anna’s age and assumed that Willard and Bertha married before the baby was born. I think 1868 might be when Hans and Bertha were married. So now I wonder when Willard and Bertha were married. By 1880 they had two children young Willard (2) and George (2 mo). So perhaps sometime around 1877-8? Maybe the 1868 on the family group record was a typo for 1878. These are all questions yet to be answered.
Why, its the study of the Lund's, of course! I am jumping in to researching our family history and seeing where it takes me. We are the Lund's. We come from Lund's, Ranson's, DeMacedo's, Lima's, Anderson's, Warner's, Ferreira's, Da Silva's and beyond! Since my own side of the family is from Brazil, it is quite difficult to track things down. Troy's side, on the other hand, has proven to be much easier. So, I'll be jumping back and forth and all around to learn about where we come from.
Are you related to us? I'd love to learn more about you and share what I know about our common ancestors!
