Karl Åström having heard the fate his older brothers met in the New World, said to himself — Better I should stay here in the Old Country.

And so he did. He wed Sofia Vilhelmina Nilsson Lindmark b.1864, a daughter of  Zakarias Nilsson Lindmark b.1817 and Brita Karolina Nilsdotter b.1828 of Bläliden, Degerfors where they lived along with their eldest son Karl Reinhold Åström b. 1889

Here’s a photograph of where some of his descendants are living.
