 General Notes:
Was Hilda born in Sweden or Illinois? There are family stories each giving different views. There are only two official documents and they also give different views. One thing is clear and that is that her father, Justus Frisk, immigrated to the U.S. in 1901 while her mother, Ottiliana, followed from Sweden one year later in 1902.
The 1910 US Census indicates Hilda's birth year as about 1903 and a birth location of Illinois.
The 1920 and 1930 US Censuses indicates her birth year as 1901 and a birth location of Sweden. The 1920 US Census indicates an immigration date of 1902 but the 1930 US Census indicates that she immigrated in 1905.
The misleading 1910 Census would seem to indicate that as soon as Ottiliana arrived in the U.S. in 1902, she became pregnant thus providing a birth year of about 1903 in Illinois for Hilda.
The best information comes from church records in Sweden which indicate that Hilda was born there in Sweden with she and her mother coming to the United States within the next year where her mother married Justus Frisk in Oct 1902 in Boston, Massachusetts. Because Justus had arrived in the US only one year earlier, the unanswered question remains if he actually knew her mother back in Sweden.

NOTE - It is believed that the age of Hilda is incorrectly given on this census as "7" which would have meant a birth year of about 1902 or 1903. It also erroneously shows that she was born in Illinois. It is known that Hilda was born in 1901 in Sweden. A later census in 1920, 1930, and 1940 correctly shows Hilda as being born in Sweden and a birth year of about 1901.
