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 Olaf Jaderborg, a retired farmer from Enterprise, Kansas who had moved to Lindsborg with his wife. The home was built on a raised lot near Bethany College. Mrs. Helen Jaderborg planted the large oak tree in front of the home, a branch of which can be seen in the above photograph, upper left.
Their son, Thure Jaderborg, would live in the house with his wife and four sons. He would eventually become a voice professor at the College, a career which lasted over 50 years. Thure, also, would establish the Swedish Crafts shop in Lindsborg in 1946 with the help of a loan from Emil O. Deere.
Thure's son, Hilding, with his wife Esther would eventually take over the Swedish Crafts shop in Lindsborg. Hilding would become a photographer and develop his craft as an excellent artist receiving his training from Bethany College Professor Swedish Birger Sandzén.
