Association

Old Theatre Photo from “Tomtarna’s Bazaar” around 1900. The association Tomterne was established at Ingborg Hallström 1895-11-03 The board was made up of chairman Miss Anna Andersson, secretary Ingeborg Hallström and cash manager Mia Wannberg, married Sahlin. The initiators were the seeds Märta Bolin, Elisabet Svensson and Mia Warnberg, all the telephonists at the then telephone station at Storgatan 25. The association has had charitable purposes. The membership fee was low and the help was subsequent. For example: a sober policeman has received 5 kg of wheat flour and 5 kr in cash. The turn of the century saw charitable bases in the Great Hall of the Old Theatre annually, a large staircase had then been set up in the north-west corner, up against the healer, and down in the local there were several money-bringing things: pastry, peasant cottage with smoothfood, tombola, groom, and more. On stage different abilities appeared and the members themselves arranged popular “tableaux.” The only known person is Ebba Munck, the far right in the top row. She lived with photographer Elin Rosdahl who had her studio in a smaller wooden house on the current Border Street. In the same house, J O Bjelke, painter’s master, had his local, where was the artist Paul Jonze (Paulus Jonsson). Data from Stina Hörnfeld, Östersund, 1984.
