204 Karl ran away from home at a very young age, when Finland was under the Russian Rule. He then stowed away on a ship bound for North America. It is unknown where his first home was after coming to America. He served in the Merchant Marines and later the U. S. Navy.

He served in the U. S. Navy aboard the following ships (Columbia, Puritan, Newark, Franklin, MacDonough, Hancock, Lancaster and Monaghan). He farmed in Camden, Missouri before moving to Florida to work for the power company. He was a 32nd degree member of the Masonic Temple and Shrine Club, and was a
member of the American Legion. He naturalized on 29 Sep 1911.

While in the service he served as a PETTY OFFICER and transferred from active duty on June 10, l9l8 to Fleet Naval Reserve with rate of CHIEF WATER TENDER.

On September 29, l9ll Karl Gustaf Soderblom became a citizen of the United States while serving on the USS LANSEN in Norfolk, Virginia.

He met JESSIE IRENE PRIESTER in Fairfax, SC while stationed on the Monaghan at Charleston SC, and they were married December 22, 1915. Carl Almers Soderblom,Jr. was born in South Carolina. When he retired from the Navy they moved to Camden, Mo., where he farmed. While there Reginald Everett Lionel Soderblom and Courtney Uranus Soderblom were born. They moved to Sanford in the l920's., where he got a job with the Florida Power and Light Company, retiring on July 30, l947. Sadie Irene Soderblom and infant son were born in Sanford. Karl Gustaf Soderblom died January l5, l96l, and was buried on the 22nd (his birthday).

Karl was never able to contact his Finnish family in later years. He tried several times. Either they were killed, or they left Finland. He was extremely proud to be an American, and he flew his flag every day. In fact, he made a special flag pole on which to fly it. The flagpole that we have at the end of our driveway in Summerfield is from his original flagpole in Sanford. He was active in the American Legion, and was also a Member of the Masonic Temple and the Shrine Club holding the office of the 32nd Degree. He was a very quiet person who always ready to help someone in need. One of the local schools in Sanford adopted a pen pal in Finland, and Dad translated the letters for them.
He could speak and write fluently Russian, German and Finnish as well as Swedish.

He never purchased anything unless he could pay cash for it. He was very strong in his Lutheran beliefs, and was very active in the church until his later years. He never talked very much about his family or home life. I guess there were too many heartaches involved.

Information from letters written by his daughter Sadie.

211 Laredo Times dtd 9/24/2008

Clarence E. Earles, of Golden, Colo., passed away Sept. 8, 2008, at the age of 86. He was born in Laredo, Texas, on Aug. 12, 1922. He was preceded in death by his father, Clarence E. Earles Sr.; his mother, Lydia S. Earles; his brother, Warren F. Earles; and sisters, Ruth Willoughby and Rose Marie West.

He is survived by Dolores, his wife of 65 years. He met his wife in high school and married July 4, 1943.

He enlisted in the U.S. Navy during World War II and served proudly during the war in a highly classified unit developing radar defense systems and was discharged with the rank of petty officer first class.

Clarence joined the Border Patrol in 1954, and in 1955, he then transferred to the U.S. Customs Service in Laredo, Texas, as an inspector, and then later was promoted to custom import-export supervisor. In 1976 he was promoted to the position of Customs port director for the Port of Denver, Colo., where he retired in 1985, after 41 years of government service.

The latter promotion necessitated that he and his wife, Dolores, relocate to Colorado in 1976. He was an avid lifelong hunter in his home state of Texas and fell in love with the Colorado outdoors. There he formed new bonds with fellow outdoorsmen and other friends.

Throughout his life one of his greatest joys was spending time with his family. He would travel with his wife, Dolores, to visit family members all across the country. He enjoyed visiting with his children and grandchildren, often hosting the grandchildren for summers at his Colorado home.

Construction of this home was started in late 1800's, probably during the year of 1898. It was completed and occupied in or around 1902.

Grandpa cut the large pine trees from his property and hauled them to his father's sawmill in Pedro. They were cut in to lumber and he built this home. This home is located the corner of highway 42 and 470 Avenue in Summerfield.

TRIBUTE TO MOTHER AND DAD, by Louise Proctor Livingston
My Mother and Dad were exceptional people, I think. When they were first married my Dad worked away from home long hours, for $1 a day. After the first year he built a house, doing most of the work himself, even splitting the shingles for the roof and cutting the logs and carrying [them] to his Dads mill for sawing. Dad worked at a mill near the house some. One day, when he was there, the mill blew up and injured many. He felt very fortunate to have missed the disaster. He and Mother -Lived together in this house for the next, 67 years. My Mother was ninety-two in Aug 1971 and still lives in this house. They had one child before building (born at another place) then 7 in this house and numerous grandchildren. There has been only 1 death in this house; the third child, Carl, age four.

Back in early times farmers let their hogs and cows graze on open range identifying by marks and brands. Land was cleared partly by slave labor before the Civil War.

I remember Dad going out at daybreak and working until sundown, just taking time to eat at noon and a short rest. He grew corn and always took some to the mill for our own use. That was the BEST meal and grits. He made syrup grinding his own cane and again using the mule at the mill. We had sweet potatoes and all vegetables. He grew tomatoes and melons, also cantalopes [sic] for trucks. He never owned a tractor. He did most of his cattle tending on horseback but did own a jeep the last few years. He was active up until 77 years old.

Mother was always busy about the house and garden. She cooked big meals daily and of course canned fruits and vegetables. We had our own hogs and worked our own meats, sausage, etc. She taught me to cook, can, and sew and we made all of our clothes. Aside from raising her own children, she has helped with grandchildren and we had company continually. It seemed she never tired. I've heard her tell of the times when she had many small children, about rocking the cradle with one foot, while ironing, sewing or cooking.

My deepest love and appreciation to them for their faithfulness and devotion.

From the "History of the First Baptist Church, Summerfield, FL,":

When J.D., called Mr. Jim by his friends, and Emma married they first lived near Pedro. Early in 1900 they built a house on Cemetery Road near the corner of what is now 47th Ave. and Hwy 42. The house continues to be in the family. Like so many of his kin and friends, J.D. was primarily a farmer and cattleman.

According to records the church letters of J.D. and Emma and daughters Alma and Edith were received by our church from Pedro on Christmas Day, 1924. They had been in their home on Cemetery Road nearly a quarter of a century. The Pedro and Summerfield churches are about the same distance from this house. No reason is known as to why they changed churches. But thank the Lord for it because of the contributions in service made not only by J.D. and Emma but their descendants as well.

------------------------

James Proctor bid on the job of taking children from Summerfield to the schoolhouse, and was hired in 1920. He purchased an open air Ford bus with canvas awnings. His daughter Edith drove the first year, and his daughter Ruth drove for the next three years.
