"The wife of General Malmborg, born on Gerdten was richly talented by the head as well as the heart and although she had a great household to manage, was still the center figure of the musical life of Karlstad, which was notable in those days. She herself often appeared at concerts and soiree's and was much celebrated for her accomplished piano play, particularly for her interpretation of Beethowen. She was additionally a talented painter and her specialty was to paint in sepia."[3]
