Description

Ravel's farmhouse, which was sold by the guardian to trader Mattsson, who then sold it to the youth association Hembygdens Vänner for 5000 mk. Demolished and became the youth center Vesterlid after the reconstruction, just north of the old place but in the same direction east - west.

Miscellaneous

CM makes an interesting comment here, which is worth researching. He mentions that Adam Mattsson bought the house/farm from a "guardian"? Guardian for whom? The negative's image is on reg.n:o 8577. The negative is underexposed and slightly blurred. *Hulda, daughter of half the Ravels in Näsby. Her parents died and Hulda came under the guardianship of the merchant Adam Mattsson. Hulda married Lämpnäs, Lindberg, and Ravels was sold by the guardian.* See Dnr. 7254. The house was thus never owned by Adam Mattsson, but by Hulda Retantia Hermansson, under guardian. /CGÖ
