On a Side Note
I found a couple pictures of Edward Mattson's sons, our first cousins, twice removed. I'll move these pictures to the post highlighting their lives from a few weeks back after you've had a chance to see them.
Edward Mattson on the left, Oscar Mattson on the right. Both served in France during WWI.
Both were injured separate gas attacks. Here they are in their military uniforms. Edward returned home to become a Lutheran pastor in Scranton, Penn. Oscar became a Scranton police officer.
