Among the identified is Alma P:lsson, 26, of Malm\u00f6hus Sweden, who emigrated with her four children. Her husband Nels, had left earlier, in order to prepare for the family’s arrival in the States. Little did they know at that time, that the little boy actually was one of Alma Paulson’s, children, G\u00f6sta Leonhard P:lsson.By examining the list of the recovered bodies, one finds: “NO. 4. Male. Estimated age, 2. Hair, fair. Clothing-Grey coat with fur on collar and cuffs; brown serge frock…\/… brown shoes and stockings. No marks whatever. Probably third class.” In the updated version of this list, from May 1912, you find at the bottom of that page added in ink: “Possibly child of Mrs Paulsson.” This was indeed the fact, but why the name has not been inscribed on the gravestone, No one knows. Perhaps it was felt at the time it was not appropriate to change the beautiful inscription on the stone. For those interested, the list from May 1912 now contained the true identity of the “unknown child” anyway. Perhaps it all came down to “financial greed”; to change an inscription was a matter of money to the ones paying for it, which of course was the White Star Line. By sheer coincidence, mother and son have come to rest only a few feet apart from each other.<\/p>\n

Paulson [sic] looked pale and ill when he leaned hungry eyed over the desk and asked in broken English if his wife or children had been accounted for. Chief Clerk Ivar Holmstrom scanned his list of third class passengers saved. He failed to find there any of the names enumerated by Paulson. “Perhaps they did not sail,” he suggested hopefully. Then he looked over the list of those who sailed third class on the Titanic…The process of elimination was now complete. “Your family was on the boat, but none of them are accounted for,” said Clerk Holmstrom. The man on the other side of the counter was assisted to a seat. His face and hands were bathed in cold water before he became fully conscious. He was finally assisted to the street by Gust Johnson, a friend who arrived with him. Paulson’s grief was the most acute of any who visited the offices of the White Star, but his loss was the greatest. His whole family had been wiped out.<\/p>\n
