Evergreen Washelli Memorial Park and Funeral Home, also known as Oak Lake Cemetery, Washelli Cemetery, 11111 Aurora Ave. N., Seattle, King Co., WA. Thanks to Find-A-Grave for making these images available.

The Evergreen-Washelli Cemetery was founded in 1884 by David T. Denny (1832-1903) and his wife Louisa Boren Denny (1827-1916) on one of their many land investments in Seattle's north end. The cemetery straddles Aurora Avenue N beginning just beyond N 109th Street. Most members of David's branch of Denny family and that of his cousin Henry Levi Denny are buried there. Begun as the Oak Lake Cemetery, Washelli entered into a series of mergers with the newly organized Evergreen Cemetery in the 1920s. Today, Evergreen-Washelli Cemetery maintains operations on grounds that span both sides of Aurora Avenue N, overlooking interments dating from 1884 to present. There are many sections within Evergreen-Washelli that include the Veterans Memorial Cemetery and sections devoted to religious communities, fraternal organizations, civil service and ethnic groups.

Carl E. Johnson was born June 10, 1871, in Swano, Sweden.

Alma Christina Freeberg was born September 25, 1882, in Sweden.

The 1900 U. S. Census taken on June 9, 1900, shows Swan Larson (age 39) born February, 1861, in Sweden to Sweden-born parents, and first married at age 18, and having immigrated in 1888, and a Naturalized citizen, is a married Foreman at a Railroad, and who rents his house, and is living at 308 Eighth Street, 2nd Ward, City of Duluth, 4th District, St. Louis Co., MN. Living with him are: his wife of 18 years, Hilda S. Larson (age 37) born May, 1863, in Sweden to Sweden-born parents, and having immigrated in 1894, and with all 5 of the children born to her still alive; his unmarried daughter, Alma C. Larson (age 17) born September, 1882, in Sweden to Sweden-born parents, and having immigrated in 1894, a Servant; his son, Charles O. Larson (age 16) born April, 1884, in Sweden to Sweden-born parents, and having immigrated in 1894, a Cook; his son, Albert L. Larson (age 13) born October, 1886, in Sweden to Sweden-born parents, and having immigrated in 1894; his son, Joseph E. Larson (age 4) born June, 1895, in Montana to Sweden-born parents; and his daughter, Liana M. Larson (age 2) born February, 1898, in Montana to Sweden-born parents.

According to both Vincent and Don Cain, Carl Johnson (Alma's husband) left for the Alaska Gold Rush at one point, and then returned. He never told anyone how he did with his mining but Steven Cain does not think he worked much after that. He did build the apartment at 602 42nd street and that is where Alma lived and died.

The 1910 U. S. Census taken on April 22, 1910, shows Carl Johnson (age 38) born in Sweden to Swedish-born parents and having emigrated in 1900 and Naturalized is an unmarried House Carpenter owning his own house at 602 N. 42nd Street, 9th Ward, City of Seattle, King Co., WA. There are numerous families renting at this address, so this was a large rooming house.

Neighbors And Friends Gather With Relatives To Pay Their Respects

Funeral Services were held on Monday afternoon at the Graves Chapel in memory of the late Mrs. Hilda Sofia Freeberg, highly respected and esteemed citizen of the city, who passed away on last Friday morning. The services were in charge of the Rev: C. J. Johnson, pastor of the First Lutheran church. Interment was made in the Miles City cemetery. Mrs. Freeberg was preceded in death by her husband, Swan L. Freeberg on Jan 21, 1924. She was born at Visseljerda, Calmar Lan, Sweden, on May 28, 1863, and would have reached seventy years of age had she lived until the 28th of next month. Six children survive, including Mrs. Alma Johnson and sons, Oscar and Joseph, all of Seattle Wash., Albert of Miles City, Mrs. Gladys Cain of Eden Valley, Minn., and Alvin of St. Louis, Mo. The services at the chapel were deeply impressive. Floral tributes carried their silent and beautiful messages of sorrow over her passing. They were the expressions of the esteem and regard extended by relatives and friends who valued the life and influence of Mrs. Freeberg. The musical renditions were appropriately expressive also of the sympathy felt and to sorrow experienced because Mrs. Freeberg's life had been brought to a close. The words of the officiating minister served in a measure to assuage the natural grief felt because of her passing. The honorary escort at the funeral services included W. N. Hawkins and Nils Lindeberg, who were old time friends of Mrs. Freeberg. The regular pallbearers were Alf Johnson, Wilbur Turner, John Doull, John Swanson, O. B. Reynolds and Sam Carlson.
