RUT ATTERBOM (born Jonsson)

Folke had  a sister Rut who married Hjalmar Atterbom.

She was very talented and only a very few drawings have survived.

This drawing above right is of "Tante Axeline", a friend of her father ( Axel Jonsson). It has been difficult to establish exactly who Tante Axeline was but she is often mentioned in grandfather Folke's letters to Olga ("My Darling Olga"). 

A portrait of Rut's father Axel Jonsson 

"Martin i Stallen". Hans riktiga namn var Martin Andersson. Han bodde på landsidan av Stallviken och ägnade sig bl a åt dagsverken samt att segla frakter mellan Särö och Göteborg. Han bedrev även fiske och på somrarna seglade han badgäster. Herrskapen som vistades på Särö kunde beställa båtturer till holmarna, särskilt till Risö som var ett populärt utflyktsmål. Taxan var mellan 1:50 och 3:- kr.  Axel Jonsson Sr med familj  åkte ibland ut med Martin. Martin Andersson levde 1836 - 1916.    Källa: Torsten Atterbom och  "Boken om Släp - en bygd att älska" del II.

The home where Rut grew up, villa Beau Rivage at Särö, Sweden

Villa Ysäter at Särö
The house was built by sandstone from Gotland and did unfortunately absorb the damp sea air
and it very early on became damp and deteriorated.

PS:

Rut and Folke's mother Ragnhild Jonsson died very young of diabetes. She was also an artist but I have sadly not found any of her work.
