• Notes

  From Jeff Hall: Born in Stockholm, Maine and moved to Worcester, Mass. at an early age and went to public schools there. She was athletic and did a great deal of speed skating at Burncoat park and won some medals. She was quite bright and was going to attend Framingham Normal School but some family problem arose preventing this, possibly the Great Depression. She was attractive and was probably somewhat selective about boyfriends as she did not wed until she was 30. She was working at the State Mutual Life Insurance Co. in Worcester as a secretary when she met Albert Hall at a Landon/Knox for president group. The couple wed in 1940, and Al went into the service and they lived in New Rochelle, N.Y. then Orlando, Fla. and finally Wright Patterson A.F.B. in Ohio. They returned to Pittsfield, Mass. "Queenie", as she was known, lost her first pregnancy very early to a miscarriage in 1944 but went on to have two children. She lived as a housewife, was active in the First Congregational Church and did volunteer work. She was a good mother to her children, loved to play board games especially, but worried a lot.  The couple later moved to West Hartford, Conn. in 1964 when Albert changed jobs. She lived out their retirement there with occasional trips to Ogunquit, Me. She kept her general health up to the end, but was terribly lonely after her husband died. She complained considerably about her maladies and about her arthritis especially but did get around very well. Her general outlook on life was fatalistic and pessimistic at times. She died suddenly at St. Francis Hospital of heart failure brought on by sudden abdominal blood loss, possibly mesenteric artery thrombosis or ruptured blood vessel or ulcer. She was 87 at the time of her death. She is buried with her husband Albert in Fairview  cemetery near West Hartford center. They have a flush marker as it is a two person plot. I have talked to the town clerk of Stockholm, Maine and she verified that Queeneze was born there Nov. 16, 1910.  Her mother was listed as Signe Olson and her place of birth was only listed as Sweden, Europe.  The same clerk said there was no record of any Swenson births or that of Carl Olson, Queeneze's older brother. This bears further checking.
