Eric was born in Sweden, as were his parents. He emmigrated in 1903, was naturalized citizen 1910. He is a "bal turner" at a shoe factory. (He's probably the "Uncle Eric that Aunt Vera has mentioned.) Info from 1920 Federal Census

Living with her are her daughter, Edith Hennessey, (employed as a shoe stitcher at a shoe factory); her granddaughter, Dorothy R.
