Notes for Jöran Johan Axelsson Öller
Fatherless at the tender age of nine, he was admitted to Trivialskolan in Karlskrona by the principal, Rektor Michael Abelin.

In 1756, he became a student in Lund. He served as an informant in Lund, Karlskrona, Varberg, and Stockholm. On April 27, 1762, he enrolled as Cicius Academius at Uppsala University and took the Examen Theologicum on May 4 of the same year.

In 1763, he was appointed as a house preacher at the national council Törnflykt. He was born on May 22, 1763, and took the Exam Sacerdodate in Stockholm City Consistory on May 1, 1764. He was ordained to preside over the parishes of Riddarholmen and Bromma for two years. He received his pastoral degree from Uppsala University on June 12, 1766.

On April 8, 1768, he was appointed as an ordinary court preacher and served alongside other pastors at the Royal Livdrabantkorpsen, with a seat and meeting place at the Kungl. Hof-Consistorium. In 1773, he became a confessor for Prince Fredrik Adolph of Östergötland.

On May 1, 1776, he was appointed as a pastor in the Jämshög and Näsum parishes in Lund diocese. He was further promoted to pastor in these parishes on June 16, 1779.

At the jubilee party in 1793, he was succeeded by Duke Carl of Södermanland, who later became King Carl XIII. On behalf of the Major, he was awarded the title of Theology Doctor and dignity.

He published several works in the press. He submitted an answer to the question posed by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences: “What can be the cause of the common disease that often prevails in certain places?” His answer was rewarded with the academy’s gold medal, inscribed with the words “Ditabit fructitus Avum.”
