Grandpa from Sweden

Carl Swanson, born in Sweden in 1885, immigrated to Iron Belt, WI with his family when he was 7. He married Elena Rosa (from Cuba), and they had a pair of redheaded twin girls. Carl was a loving, gentle husband and father, but unfortunately, was killed in a mine explosion in 1925. He looks pretty young in this picture. I was told he had red hair.
