County.

Surviving is her husband and five children, Ralph, Joseph, Willie, Marie
and Jean. The youngest child is 3 years of age.  Three children preceded
their mother in death, one from scarlet fever, and the other two in a most
tragic way. One little girl was burned to death in a bonfire and the other
fell into scalding water and was so burned that she passed away.

Frank and Lee.  All were present at the funeral.

Ross Parker, Miss Helen Devany and Miss Ann Remner all of Minneapolis;
