Spreckels, Calif.

by Lotta K.March 31, 2018March 31, 2018 on

Spreckels, Calif. 

A potential relative (through a strong candidate for great grandfather Johan Adolf Abrahamsson) moved to Spreckels, Calif. in the 1890s to work on the sugar factory that dominated the town back then.

Spreckels is still agricultural. Central California is very pretty.

Posted in American west, Johan Adolf Abrahamsson
