The Cause of Death was as follows: internal injuries.
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.
Today is my birthday! I thought it’d be interesting to look in my database for any ancestors who had signifigant events on this day. Nothing came up for my side of the family but Troy’s side had a lot of hits:
Burdick, Steven James (Spouse of Troy’s 2nd Cousin) Born 4 Sep 195x in Whittier, California, United States DeMacedo, Julliana (ME!) Born 4 Sep 198x in Rio de Janeiro, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil Evans, Scott Delafield and Angela Lund (Troy’s Sis and Bro. in Law) Married 4 Sep 200x in Salt Lake City, Salt Lake, Utah, United States Freestone, Edwin Lloyd (Troy’s 1st Cousin twice removed) LDS Baptism 4 Sep 1927 Freestone, Leland Harold (Troy’s 1st Cousin twice removed) LDS Baptism 4 Sep 1927 Hansen, Veva Andrea (Spouse of Troy’s 1st Cousin 3 times removed) Buried 4 Sep 1948 in Tremonton, Box Elder, Utah, United States Jorgenson, Ivor (Spouse of Troy’s 2nd cousin twice removed) Born 4 Sep 1895 in Weber Co, Utah, United States Kennedy, Wayne Joseph (Spouse of Troy’s 1st cousin twice removed) LDS Baptism 4 Sep 1931 LDS Confirmation 4 Sep 1921 Mayer, Hugh (Troy’s Seventh great granduncle) LDS Endowment 4 Sep 1931 Poll, Calvin Warner (Troy’s 1st cousin once removed) Born 4 Sep 195x in Ogden, Weber, Utah, United States Warner, Phyllis Jeanette (Troy’s grandaunt) LDS Baptism 4 Sep 1934 Wilson, George (Troy’s 1st cousin twice removed) LDS Baptism 4 Sep 1895
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!
