FELT: John Felt and Jonas Nilsson

John Felt (standing) and his Father-in-law, Jonas Nilsson (seated in the center). Jonas was the father of Britta Lisa Jonasson, John Felts first wife. It is believed that the woman in the picture is Britta Lisa Jonasson and the man sitting to the left of Jonas is her brother (name unknown). Her brother did not immigrate to the United States. This tin type picture, we think, was taken before they left Sweden around 1855.

John Felt, Britta and Jonas immigratedd to the U.S. at the same time. On the ship, Jonas wore a fleece lined coat for warmth. The ship had stock on it before the family voyage. Lice got into the coat. Not knowing what to do, he threw the coat overboard and a couple of weeks later, he got pneumonia and died. He was buried in the Atlantic.
