• Noteringar

  Ola instructed Sven (and no doubt his brothers) in the scything of the grass, the cradling of the grain, the art of sharpening tools with precision, and many other useful skills. The church where the family worshipped and the village school where a meager education was acquired in a few weeks each winter were three miles away. Even though he lacked the traditional "formal" education, Ola was avidly interested in the news of the day, the variety of educational sources,and in the various forms of learning. Sensing his own lack of formal education, he allowed nothing to interfere with his children's opportunities for education. As a result, Sven found himself in early manhood with a common school education, basic elementary military training, the possessor of some skills in farming and carpentry, but faced with limited opportunities of satisfactory employment as well as an enforced military conscription. America beckoned - but he had no money. Eventually he went to sea. If one can obtain a copy of the Simmons' Family history, he may read Zenas's account of his father's adventures during six years at sea. During this period of his life, Sven was attracted to the Pacific Northwest. Travel folders of that region presented a picture of a countryside comparable to the young Swede's native homeland. Finally he signed on an American ship bound for San Francisco. Brother Frank also joined the crew, but the two brothers, working side by side, did not reveal their relationship. After a long journey, complete with danger and hardships, the men stepped ashore in America, January 30, 1880, and the Chosen land became the new "home" land. Oregon, particularly Yamhill and Washington counties, provided the necessary employment and eventual homesites for the new citizens.
