Fabrikör Edvard Lagerstam

Fabrikör Edvard Lagerstam
A successful businessman, born in Norrköping. Lived at Lidingö in Stockholm, owned Prols fabrik, which is still around. Also, a decent bowling player, as he represented Sweden in a few games back in the day. A member of Par Bricole, (Det Lysande Sällskapet), which made him a Bricolist. A Bacchanalian order society. Other more famous Bricolists includes Carl Michael Bellman and King Gustav III. Married to Agnes, they had two sons, Kurt and Hans, who are both still alive. Inspired by Amy, a blogger in New Zealand, I decided to dig a little deeper after a photo walk around the Sandsborgs cemetery earlier in the week.

What is that beautiful flowering plant at its base?

Stefan Jansson said...

It is called Common heather in English. Ljung in Swedish. An Autumn plant that is very popular at cemeteries.
