I'm happy to say I have a partial victory in the Malm family "brick wall". While rechecking past searches I checked for Malm on Find A Grave and, surprise, there on the Swedona Lutheran Church page is the memorial for Anna Lisa Malm and her son Carl. I either misread the church record entry or the writing was poor. She actually died in Swedona, Mercer County, Illinois on Dec 3rd 1899. Her son Carl died Nov 5, 1901. Now I need the same luck in finding Andreas (Anders).
