#OTD 25 March 1801, The shoemaker and widower Johan Jånsson Wolen married his second wife, Catharina Söderberg, in Salem parish, Stockholm County, exactly 10 years after his first marriage. In 1791, he had married Catharina Larsdotter Holmgren in Klara parish, Stockholm City. Johan needed to remarry quickly after Catharina's death, as he had two young children. The baby died four days later at not quite seven months old. Johan, brother of my 4th-great-grandfather, had only one child of five who survived to adulthood, but she died of tuberculosis at age 22.
