MEMORIAL SERVICE FOR LINNEA STADIG
The memorial service for Linnea Stadig Silver will be held Saturday, July 1st 2000, at 1:30 PM at the Congregational church in Boscawen, New Hampshire. It is located at the intersection of Routes 3 and 4. After the memorial service, David Stewart Smith and I will be conducting a Native American service on Mt. Kearsarge, where we will scatter the ashes. This will involve a fifteen or twenty minute climb from the parking lot on Kearsarge to the summit. If you are uncomfortable with Native American religious rituals, or unable to physically do the climb, we will be having some sort of get-together afterward. Haven't gotten that far with the planning yet.
Please contact me with questions or suggestions for the memorial service. We'd like to have anyone who wishes, to say a few words in rememberance of Ma. Just keep in mind that in accordance with her wishes, this is to be a celebration of her life, not a time of mourning for her death.
Looking forward to seeing all who can make it
Best Regards,
Nate

STADIG HISTORY AS I UNDERSTAND IT
An Excerpt from the first STADIG FAMILY NEWSLETTER, Vol. 1, No. 1
Our Paternal Ancestor who was the first to bear this surname, was so dubbed by his then King of Sweden as a reward for his services to his country. (I feel sure someone will provide me with the name of the King and the approximate year in which this happened) He was one of twelve Army Chieftains so rewarded and he was dubbed according to his special qualifications. Evidently he merited the name STADIG. There is a (faded words) to be filled in up to the time when Lars Stadig emigrated to America in 1871 and founded the branch of the Stadig family of which I am a member. He had seven sons and one daughter: Olaf, John, Lawrence, George, Gustaf, Adina, Esaias, Albert.
