    • 1883 July 12, “Hon visste det hon”, in Bergslagsposten‎[1], page 3:
      På en liten gård ett stycke utom tullen var hon född och fostrad, der hade hon tumlat i skogar och backar, der hade hon plockat vilda sköna blommor på ängarna, och in till stadens skola gick hon mestadels, om icke gångstigen genom den vackra hagen var för slipprig eller stora landsvägen ogångbar genom regn och rusk.
      She had been born and raised on a small farm just outside the town, where she had tumbled in forests and hills, where she had picked beautiful wild flowers in the meadows, and she mostly walked to the town school, unless the footpath through the beautiful meadow was too slippery or the main road was impassable due to rain and bad weather.
