Carl's last residence before immigrating to the United States was his birth town Kville. He travelled from there to Gothenburg, Sweden and boarded the ship Ivernia for the journey, probably with a stop in Liverpool, England before arriving in Boston, Massachusetts on August 3, 1906.

Carl is in Los Angeles as early as 1908 when he is received into the Swedish-American Mission Covenant Church there. A few months later the church received Genevieve Cecelia 'Jenny' Jacobson from Saint Paul Minnesota. Carl and Jenny were married on September 15, 1913 in Los Angeles. To this union were born Markwell Leonard, Carl Gordon, Earl C., Arthur Franklin and Glen Allen Johnson.

While living in the Los Angeles area Carl was a carpenter and contractor in the housing business. By the 1930 census the family had moved to the Antelope Township in Los Angeles County and Carl had become a dairyman.

Carls' wife and sons Carl and Arthur are also buried here at the old Palmdale Cemetery.
