To celebrate the 40th Anniversary of the King's visit, historian and author Bill Carlson, 1976 Bethany Home administrator for the elderly, wrote a special article for the Lindsborg News Record in 2016.
In the article, he mentioned that the King made a very special visit to the Bethany Home to visit with nine (9) Swedes there who had been born in Sweden. They were the following: Mrs. Anna Warner, Mrs. Christine Axelson, Mr. C.A. Berggren, Mrs. Ellen Rhodes, Mr. Enoch Storm, Mrs. Anna Natsen, Mrs. Emily Heglund, Mr. O. E. Danielson, and Mr. Albert "Berky" Berquist.
Bill mailed this account to me of this once-in-a-lifetime Lindsborg Bethany Home Royal Crown visit for you, the viewers, which now can be assessed by clicking on the Download File below.
