I have not had luck finding Gustaf's death record. I contacted a few different places and they don't keep record that far back.
However you did find the newspaper clipping
https://newspapers3.mnhs.org/jsp/PsImageViewer.jsp?doc_id=490da125-087a-46e1-a544-1414dc5347d6%2Fmnhi0013%2F1E0XSD59%2F92072701for his death. Unfortunately it doesn't give much detail other than the train accident stating he was from Plato.
I've contacted the ELCA this is what they said pertaining to Gustaf:
At the time of Gustav’s death, he is linked to living in Plato – according to the news brief in Svenska folkets tidning.
Since Bethel Lutheran in Lester Prairie was the same county as Plato/Glencoe, I looked in the Bethel Lutheran Church
records for any funeral entries for 1892 and there were none. It looks like there are big gaps in the years of funerals recorded.
There are none recorded from 1892-1903, except for one in 1893 and none recorded from 1909-1913.
It’s difficult to say that it means there wasn’t a funeral for Gustav held at Bethel when there might have been, and it wasn’t recorded.
She didn't have any luck finding funeral records for Gustaf, his parents, or Christina. In looking at the census information for the families,
it looks as if they pretty much stayed in the same areas: Carver County for Britta Jonsson/Johnson and McLeod County for Gustav and Christina Hoglund.
She suggested looking at local papers from those two counties, Carver County, and Mcleod County to see if there are any obituaries listed for Gustav Hoglund in 1892. It’s possible the obituary would list where a funeral was held and where the interment took place.
One thing she noticed when assisting people with these kinds of genealogical questions, is that obituaries were an important thing in terms of letting people know about a death in the area – since people would have
relied almost exclusively on the newspaper for news beyond their immediate circle. The Minnesota Historical Society has information on back issues of newspapers from the 19th century.
I agree with you about the Archives website. Same records for people - too many different names. It's confusing.
The Christina we are looking for was married in 1883 and wouldn't have been living with her mother and stepfather in 1895 unless she moved back in with them after Gustaf died, and her
children were farmed out. Which would explain why I found the oldest boy in Iowa and I believe Carl the younger one in southern minnesota.
I did reach out to McLeod History and they said unable to find any records for Gustaf & Christina Hoglund or their sons in their McLeod County files. The only suggestion we can give you is to check for
obituaries for the sons in the places they died: Oscar George-Windom, Cottonwood County, MN
and Carl John Little Falls, Morrison County, MN. Obituaries might give you clues about the parents.
I'm going to check and see if I can find any obituaries for Oscar and Carl.
