Buda Plain Dealer
From the Buda Plain Dealer- Mrs. Helga Matilda Lundborg, daughter of Carl and 
Johanna Carlson was born Sept. 1st, 1871, in Red Oak, Minnesota, and passed 
away at her home in Buda April 16, 1935 at the age of 63 years, 7 months, and 
16 days.
As a small child she moved with her parents to Keithsburg, Illinois, where she 
received her education and grew to womanhood. In 1889, she went to Chicago, 
where she remained until March 30, 1892, when she was united in marriage to 
Andrew Lundborg, by Rev. Torey of the Moody Church, and came to Buda with her 
husband as a bride to the house which has since been the family home.
To this union were born five children, Lillian, who died March 23, 1910; 
Esther; Alice; Marian and Theodore. Those of her immediate family surviving 
her are her husband, Andrew Lundborg, three daughters, Mrs. Esther Farrar, 
Elkhorn, Wisconsin, Mrs. Marian Williams, Harvey, Illinois, Mrs. Alice Steele, 
Evanston, Illinois, and one son Theodore Lundborg, Evanston, Illinois; three 
brothers, John and David Carlson of Chicago, and Albert Carlson of Denver, 
Colorado; and one sister Anna Carlson of Zion City, Illinois.
She was a devoted and loving wife and mother, and the welfare of her family 
and home was her chief concern. Her devotion to the members of her family was 
manifested in the loving kindness and home comforts, with which they were 
surrounded, and the wise motherly counsel with which she prepared them to meet 
the duties and responsibilities of life as they grew to maturity.
Mrs. Lundborg was a devout Christian. She became a member of the Moody Church 
while a resident of Chicago and retained her membership until her death.
She was a charter member of the White Shrine in Princeton, and also a member 
of Buda Chapter O.E.S.
The funeral was held at 2:00 o'clock Thursday afternoon from the home with 
A.H. Hammer conducting the service. Miss Mabel Turner and Miss Hattie Carper 
sang two numbers; "The Old Rugged Cross" and "Ivory Palaces".
The bearers were R.E. Davis, B.O. Stinson, Albert Voigt, Charles Conley, R.D. 
Hade, and C.W. Redebaugh. Interment was in Hopeland Cemetery.
