Birth* November 1859 Sweden, date per 1900 census 
Immigration* 1877 from Sweden per 1900 census. Granson's generation thought it was 1873 as a 15/16 year old . In light of the naturalization date, 1877 makes more sense as well. 
Census1880* 1880 Not found on the census CD using various search methods. He may have gotten missed. 
Naturalization* 25 September 1884 County Court Vol 128 #318 (or 218?), Kings Co., New York, witness to naturalization is Charles W W Akberg. This from SLC 1487353, the soundex (Z532) index. SLC does not have the court records, so you will have to send for the naturalization papers. Be sure to ask for the petition too, you want the entire file. 
Marriage* Mathilda Skoog; Brooklyn, New York, Marriage records for Brooklyn don't start until 1894 
Census* 1892 There is an 1892 census available, but it's not indexed and covers many rolls of microfilm. Once you know what ward or enumeration district he was in, you can narrow that search down by searching for film # 1930244 to bring up the list of films. 
Marriage* 1894 Alma Mathilda Alm; married 5 years in 1900 census and Zan Hoffman says it was 1894

He said:
In the 1870ies and 80ies about 25 of my Mother's uncles and families went across the Atanrc to settle in St. Peter, MN. I have been able to localize some of them up to and around WW1. And I have read about a lot people that have got "papers for Northern America" but Mathilda Augusta's was the first that I have seen. Since the seventeenth century the Lutheran Church had the obligation to keep books over the people in the Parish:Marriages, Births & Baptism, Deaths, Movings-In, Movings-Out were separate Books, and then they had the Household Examination Ledger where all that happened to each family was inscribed at the yearly examinations that the pastor made (could they read aloud, write their name or better, read certain hymns by heart and relate the ten commandments and such central stuff).

NOVEMBER 21     THE SWALLOW 1876
COL 1                
A ZANTESON
Many a person wil certainly be surprised that the Swallow has deemed it appropriate to include in its Picture Gallery the man that our readers will meetin today's number. The deceased was no great man of science, his name is not connected to any theoretical or practical exploit, it was hardly known outside the little congregation in Stockholm, Sweden, where he lived and died as a poor-law doctor. Well, was he remarkable in any way? Nevertheless, he was, in his own manner, and in a way that will live for long in the gratefull memory of thousands. The great achievements in the fields of glory or science astonish people and are praised by them; the creations of genius, no matter in what shape they appear, charm and are admired and all this with ample reason; but there areother achievements, that are no less admirable, because they are done outside the public eye; deeds that are notrewarded with glory or gold or fame, but with portals:tears. The human being that once has made a real good deed and in a grateful eye has seen this reward, sparkle with greater lustre than all the diamonds of the world, more beautiful than anything that can be seen between heaven and earth, she also has felt a breath of heavenly bliss touch her soul, and she will understand the valueof the life of a man, who for years, in spite of his own trubles, drudgery and privations, never looked for other compensation than this, but who everywhere on his way also met it. The doctor seldom wins glory, his path goes more often over thorns, but there is nobody who might experience such moments as he when he possesses what he must have, in order that his art shall be fruitful: Love for his science, love for his fellow human beings . . . .
Col 2 (There seems to be a line or two missing at the top.The piece also has been torn down the middle and you should have tried unfold the little creases before scanning: as you will notice some of the translation will be guesswork.)
Useful work in [the service of] humanity [was for] the deceased Dr Zanteson most important, and this might be due to the natural goodness and nobility of his character but his medical training was not entirely unfamiliar with such an outlook. His studies took place at Uppsala, Sweden, at the time when Hwasser [pron Vasser] lived and worked there. (H.lived 1790 to 1860: professor of practical medicine 1830 to 1855). It cannot be denied that the actual scientfic knowledge that H. gave his students, was meagre enough, even in relation to . . . .
COL 3 (Also in this case the originals of of the scan were in such poor shape that it is not possible to piece the text together: as you can see there are wrinkles, small folds and tears that make it impossible to read the print)
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
a good, assiduous and [loyal devotion to his] calling. To Hwasser the practice of medicine was a religion or if you prefer a philosophy. Yes, he put medicine on top of the pinnacle of the temple of thought and he set up its goal in the fighting of powers that he thought almost independent of matter. You may by now readily confess, that these ideas were fancies, that did not make good doctors, but you must also bear in mind that love for science and humanity can be found also in those doctors who have received a totally different training, who step by step have conquered the wide areas of exact science and gone up to its summit; but Hwasser's pupils were given the gift ofsuch enthusiasm that promotes great thoughts of the task. Zanteson remained all his life true to the devotion of his youth, and hence he wandered from hut to hut as an apostle of love, and hence he fell on his post, a death a thousand times more glorious than the warrior, who ardent of lust for fame or raging of bloodthirst seeks his enemy as is hit by his sword, yes, even more glorious than his, who, prompted by thirst for scientific honour, scouts into unknown continents and there finds. . . . . . . .Besides, Zanteson saw very well, his own need of an scientific foundation and he compensated later by diligent study. Still during the last years he was rather often seen to set aside a couple of hours from his other pressing duties to listen to lectures in scientific areas that were were more or less unknown during his years of study: patological anatomy and physiology, and he also had a well-deserved reputation as a highly cultivated man and a very capable doctor. Innumerable they are, poor and rich people, mostly the former who have been helped by him and now bless his memory. But he has left behind an even more beautiful memorial as a friend to humanity.
