Hulda Olivia
Andersson Abrahamson was the second wife of grand uncle Gustaf Abrahamson. They married in 1933, seven years after the death of Gustaf's first wife, Hanna . Hulda was forty-two when she married Gustaf. They never had any children together but I have to believe she loved children as she was a schoolteacher for many years in the Torpa school.

She was the teacher of Gustaf and Hanna's son Seth (seen just above her right shoulder), and perhaps all of Gustaf and Hanna's children in her years of teaching. There were never more than 300-400 folks living in Östra Frölunda so I am fairly sure she was familiar not only with the Abrahamson children but the entire Abrahamson family, and the sad story of Hanna's early death. I imagine that even with her love of children it would be particularly hard to marry later in life and become an instant stepmom to not only four children but four teenagers!
In this next photo Hulda and Gustaf have been married over thirty years. They do look like a happy couple don't they? I hope they were.
