JOHN JERNSTADT, dealer in dry goods, groceries, provisions, flour, feed, etc., 
at Woodville, was born in 

Sweden, Aug. 29, 1847, and is the son of Phar Jansen and Christina (Olsen) 
Jernstadt, both natives of 

Sweden and belonging to the agricultural class of that country.

Mr. Jernstadt came to the United States in 1871, and went to Chicago, coming 
thence to Grand Haven.  He 

went to Allegan County, where he worked on the railroad.  His next move was to 
Grand Rapids to enter the 

employ of the G.R.&I.R.R. Co., where he remained but a short time.  He passed 
a year in the service of 

the Flint & Pere Marquette Railroad, and then came to Woodville and 
established himself as at present.  

He founded his business at this point in 1878, and was the first to engage in 
the trade, in which he is 

obtaining satisfactory results.  He was married in April, 1883, to Anna C. 
Benson, a native of Denmark.  

she was born in Denmark in 1858, a daughter of Benjamin and Christina Nelson.
