One of the most well-known Swedes of the "old stock" in Chicago passed away last Monday, the 14th. He was Captain A. Stenbeck. He was born in Hafvaroed, Sweden, in 1828 and came to America in 1854. He lived at first in Galesburg, Ill., where he joined an infantry regiment of volunteers. At the outbreak of the Civil War he was commissioned Captain of the Second Illinois Artillery, Battery H., and took part with distinction in the battles of Fort Donelson, Shiloh, Clarksville and Nashville. Chicago has been his home ever since 1866.
