Från den Amerikanska forskningen
Alma married Nils Paulson in Sweden. Nils came over to the US in 1910 and
sent for his wife and family. Alma was en route to Chicago on the Titanic
where her husband Nils and her two brothers, Axel and Olav Berglund,
lived.
The Board of Trade records at London's Public Record Office gave her name as
Alma C. Paulsson, age as 29, and residence as Helsingborg, Sweden. Her
daughters were listed as Torborg, 8; Stina, 3; and Gosta, 2. Her son wasPaul, aged five.
According to the National Archives, a claim was filed by Mrs. Paulson's mother,
Maria Berglund, for the loss of Mrs. Paulson and her children. It lists her
name as Alma Cornelia Paulsson. Mrs. Berglund, a widow, did receive 50
pounds
from the British Relief Fund.
The bodies of Mrs. Paulson and her two year old, (Gosta) were both
recovered and
are buried in Halifax, Nova Scotia. The HALIFAX MORNING CHRONICLE, of May
9,
1912, page 7, describes Mrs. Paulson's body being identified from a
photograph
received there. The marker gives the name and ages as follows: Alma
Paulson,
aged 29, wife of Nils; Torburg Damira, age 8; Paul Folke, age 6; Stina
Viola,
aged 4; and Gosta Leonard, aged 2.
Alma and her children never got into a lifeboat but floated dead in their
lifejackets. Many ships which arrived the next morning found hundreds of
corpses floating. Alma was found fully clothed but without stockings.
Gosta
was found by a crew of the "Mackay Bennett, not identified. They paid the
cost
of his burial. Gosta was later identified and buried near his mother. The
other children were never found. Nils Paulson spent a great deal of time
and
money attempting to find the fate of the other children to no avail.
