The Swedish Lindsborg Builders
~ Remembering them for the lovely homes they built
During Lydia's and Emil's lives, the principal builders in the early days of Lindsborg were the Palmquist brothers, John and August. Following them were a number of their apprentice builders and carpenters, some of whom were C. F. Rosine; E. P. Liljestrom; Axel Billing and Carl R. Rooth; those composing the Lindsborg Building Company, i.e. Frank Lindberg, Henry Goodholm, John Josephson, Albin and Henry Goodholm; C.A. Teed; and the Brandt Brothers: Joseph and Ed.*

This home was built by the Swedish Palmquist Brothers* in 1908. They were commissioned by Swede Lars Olafsson "Olof" Jaderborg (1829-1916), a retired farmer from Enterprise, Kansas who had moved to Lindsborg. The beautiful home was built on a raised lot near Bethany College.
His son, Thure Olof Jaderborg (1877-1954), a Bethany College graduate, would live in this home with his wife, Helen Justine Lindstrom, and their four sons. He was a voice professor at the College, having a distinguished career which lasted over 50 years. He was well-known as the bass soloist performing often in the Holy Easter Week Messiah performances by the Bethany College Oratorio Society.
Thure, also, establish the Swedish Crafts shop in Lindsborg in 1946 with the help of a loan from friend and Bethany College colleague Professor and Dean Emil O. Deere. Thure's son, Hilding Arnold Jaderborg (1921-2011), also a Bethany College graduate, with his wife, Esther Marie Dahlsten Jaderborg, would eventually take over the Swedish Crafts shop. Hilding would become a photographer and an excellent artist as well, receiving his training from renown Bethany College Professor Swedish Birger Sandzén.
Another son, also a Bethany College graduate, Einar Henning Jaderborg (1918-2004), would devote his life to educating Lindsborg's youth, finishing his career as the Superintendent of the Smoky Vally Unified Schools District #400. He received his PhD in Education from Columbia University in New York City.
