I found this land deed made out to Tobias Karlson on the Ellis Island web page. (Had a hard time finding it, as I kept looking for Carlson spelled with a "C") Dated 1902, and issued on behalf of President Theodore Roosevelt. There actually should have been another on file, I think. The Carlson's homesteaded about 400 acres according to the article, but this deed is for 121 acres. Must have added more acreage later.
