On the first Thursday of November 1862 Mr. and Mrs. Johansson at Hunneberg was
enriched with their first born. It was a girl and they named her Matilda.

Time flew and Lars was 39 years old in November 1866. His father Johannes died on
January 1, 1867. The family had increased by  two children, Emma and Ida.
Matilda was now four years old, and Ida was just a baby  29 days of age at the time 
of their grandfathers death.

Lars's mother Katarina died in 1870. The precise date is not known. Lars was 43 years
old at the time. Alfred was born the previous year and the family now consisted of
six people.

Lars and Kristina let eight children see the light of day and the vast forests surrounding
their home at Hunneberg. The first three children were born with an interval of
approximately two years, then two children at three years  interval after which the
two year tradition returned for the two following children. Last in the family of children
to be born was a boy and he was given the name Anders. He really had to look up as
he gazed after the next older sibling who was Teresia. She was in fact eleven years 
older than he was. This "advanced" age of Teresia at Anders's birth was one that he 
would never reach since he died at the age of four.

Lars died in 1904 at Hunneberg. He was then close to 77 years old. At the time of his 
death he had seven children and 18 grandchildren.

Lars and Kristina's children

Matilda married Mr.Stålberg and moved to Bollebygd. She had ten children.

Emma married Mr.Karlsson and had four children. They moved to Stommen, Hålanda,
presently  in Älvängen.

Ida married Mr.Kjellberg and had six children.  They first moved to Bollebygd and then
to Kullatå, presently Kullaberg in Stenkullen. There are stories that she was very fond
of dancing in her youth. After she was converted, dancing was not considered proper
and her longing became a concern. She kneeled by a rock in the woods and asked
God to help her. Ever since that day she never again felt the urge to dance.

Alfred married Matilda from Tollered.  They first moved to Bollebygd and then on to
Ränndalen. In the fall of 1902 the family moved to Bocksmossen. They had eight sons.
Between 1904 and 1918 revivalist meetings were held at Bocksmossen. All the
furniture was put out in the barn and trestles and deals  were brought in in order to get
as many seats as possible in the cottage. Minister Evald Videll tells in his book that at
one occasion in 1915 there were 150 people in the courtyard who could not get in due
to the big rush of people.

Karl managed the family farm. He and his wife Anna-Charlotta (Lotta) had five children.
In 1926 the family moved to Rothofskärr in Alingsås.

Oskar moved to Björnås and later to Tolerydshage at Slätthult. Oskar and his wife Jenny
had six children. When Oskar was a child he dislocated one of his hips. He screamed laud
and for a long time which prompted Lars and Katarina to get some advice from the lady
at Floda  Manor. Her advice was to make some porridge and put it on the hip. The
porridge was hot and the hip was sore and  Oskar screamed even worse, until he passed
out. The terrified parents thought that the boy was dead. They put him in a drawer while
Lars started thinking about making a coffin. Little by little Oskar recovered and gave off
some sounds from his drawer. He was left with a limp for the rest of his life. Oskar was a
fine organ player and he also composed music to Jenny's poems.

Teresia remained unmarried, without children, and reached the age of 44. There was a
room at Hunneberg called "Terese's chamber". The background was the following;
Teresia was going to go by horse and carriage from Hunneberg to the mill in Floda. The
carriage was loaded and off they went. The mill was situated at the outflow of lake 
Säfvelången, next to the present railway station in Floda. Up the hill between Floda Barn 
and the mill there was an accident and Teresia was caught under the carriage. She was
paralyzed and brought back home to Hunneberg where she remained in her "chamber"
until her death in 1920.

Anders only reached the age of four.
