You were the richest guy on the Titanic, with a worth that would be over $2 billion today. You'd been educated at Harvard, started a few hotels in New York, and had previously traveled in Europe for three years to give yourself culture. At this point you'd just remarried, betrothing an 18 year old (who was now pregnant, you rascal you), and you were returning from your honeymoon with her, your manservant, your maid, your wife's private nurse, and your dog. Your group occupied three first class cabins that collectively cost about 5 times the annual wages of the wait staff who served you. You did not think the accident was serious and did not want to get onto a life boat. Eventually, once things started looking bad, you changed your mind. You were able to put your wife, nurse, and maid onto Lifeboat 4, and asked to join them, but you were told that they were still loading women. (After you stepped back, a few male crew members were able to jump onto the boat as it was being lowered.) Your faithful manservant at your side, you waited but couldn't get an another ship. Neither you, he, nor your dog survived. They found your body later, carrying quite a bit of cash that did you no good in the end.

You were a Swedish immigrant in North Dakota, and one of your jobs was to recruit other immigrants to the area to work. This is what you were doing on the Titanic, as you led a group of 17 Swedes to the promised land of the northern plains. In the scramble aboard the ship, you threw yourself into a lifeboat as it was being lowered. You later reported a fear that you would be shot, but you were dead anyway if you didn't try. It's believed that it was Lifeboat 15, which was the most crowded lifeboat that was almost swamped by having 65 people on it. It was the last lifeboat found, so you likely had a long night. But hey, you survived. At least some of your group survived because they were Swedes, but I'm not sure how many. You went back to the Dakotas and became an unlicensed chiropractor, moving frequently to keep from getting arrested for practicing without a license. You eventually found a home in South Dakota and stayed there (presumably still practicing without a license).

YES! I finally lived in one of these. Apparently doing non-licensed medical procedures is easy in South Dakota. I was able to practice there for 40 years. Quote:
