Hulda Holm

Hulda lived at 176 N. Western Avenue in Chicago, at the corner of Lake St. The structure is now gone, but the family probably lived above her father's drapery and upholstery shop.  This is the same address given for Anna B Hanson.

Her body was found at Carroll's funeral home and identified by her brother-in-law, Percy E. Douglas, husband of her older sister, Eva, from a pin bearing her name.   The funeral was held at noon on January 3, and her body was interred next to her father's at Rosehill Cemetery in Chicago.

She was the daughter of Cecilia Pearson Holm (1839–1920) and the late Ludwig A. Holm (1838–1903).  Ludwig and Cecelia Holm were Swedish immigrants who had married in 1870, the same year they emigrated. Cecelia gave birth to four children, of which only Hulda and Eva survived as of 1900.  Ludwig, who worked as a cabinet maker as a young man, and went on to become a drapery upholsterer of several decades in Chicago, had passed away eight months before the Iroquois fire.
