He married Clara Louisa Lindquist and in addition to John Peter Lindquist, they had four additional sons, Fredrick Oscar Lindquist, Andrew Lindquist, EmilWilliam Lindquist and Luther Lindquist. They also had a daughter who was born in 1879 and died in 1880. Below are some family pictures.
The first two pictures of Nils and Clara Lindquist could be their wedding picture. If so it was because it was taken in Chicago it may mean that they were married after the came from Sweden. More research is needed to see if we can find where Nils and Clara came from in Sweden.
