        FRANK BERGSTROM was born in 1836, in Sweden.  He is one of three
     children born to SWAN and MARY E. (MILLSON) BERGSTROM.  When sixteen
     years of age, FRANK began his trade, and in four years began business
     for himself.  Two years later, he married LOUISE JOHNSON, a native of
     Sweden.  They have four children living - FENA, MINNIE, FRANK J. and
     ALBERT.  After his marriage, he came to America and settled at Bailly
     Town, and also worked at his trade in La Porte about two years.  He
     enlisted in the Seventy-third Indiana Volunteer Infantry, and served
     nearly three years, through all the operations of the regiment.  He
     then settled at Chesterton, and has carried on his present business of
     harness and shoe making here ever since.  He has a fine trade, always
     supplying everything in his line; his is the only establishment of the
     kind in the northern part of the county.  Mr. BERGSTROM is a member of
     the Swedish Lutheran Church.  He has always been a Republican, but has
     voted a few times with the Greenbackers.  He is an industrious,
     thorough business man and first-class citizen.  His first wife died in
     1874.  The following year he married Mrs. ANN E. JOHNSON, a native of
     Sweden.  She has three children - FRANK J., GUST, and TILDA.
