Life story

A Swedish Crofter and Soldier

Sven Magnus Petersson Lilja was born on November 27, 1822, in Vallsjö Parish, Jönköping County, Sweden, and spent his life moving between a series of small tenant crofts in the parish, marrying Anna Maria Johannisdotter on March 16, 1844. In January 1850 he joined the Västra Härads Company of the Jönköping regiment as Soldier No. 57, assigned the croft of Skjeryd in Nässjö Parish in exchange for his military service, but he died only months later, on June 17, 1850, in Skillingaryd, at the age of twenty-seven, of smallpox, and was buried in Tofteryd Parish.
