Brita Cajsa Lind was born Nov. 14, 1810, in Vinnerstad, Östergötland, Sweden, the daughter of Jonas Lind, clarinet player (klarinettblåsare) and Catharina Grill. Her husband obtained passports for himself and his family on May 4, 1850 in Linköping, Sweden. They emigrated to America, arriving on July 3, 1850 at Boston, Massachusetts aboard the Anna Maria, which sailed from Göteborg, Sweden. The family went to Chicago where they joined the St. Ansgarius Church in the River North neighborhood. Brita and her two-year-old daughter both died of cholera in August 1850 and would have been interred in the Chicago City Cemetery. Location of the remains following cemetery-wide reinterments is unknown.
