SO IN 1889-1891 EUPHEMIA WAS STILL A TWEEDIE. HER DAUGHTER WAS BORN IN 1893 AND SON WILLIAM WAS BORN 1895. SO BETWEEN 1891 AND 1893 SHE MARRIED LEITZ. I TEND TO AGREE WITH YOU THAT THIS VERY WELL COULD BE THE SPELLING. I'M THINKING WILLIAM OR FRANK WOULD BE A GOOD BET. THE 1900 FEDERAL CENSUS FOR HENNEPIN HAS HER LISTED STILL AS A CLERK UNDER THE NAME OF LETIZ WHICH COULD BE SPELLED WRONG! SO WE KNOW BY 1900 SHE WAS WIDOWED AND LIVING WITH HER MOM AND DAD. AND SHE WAS WORKING AS A CLERK. FRANK AND FRED DON'T SEEM TO KNOW WHAT THEY WANT TO DO YET. :) GOSH! HOPE WE ARE ON TO SOMETHING HERE. GETTING EXCITED! THANKS AND CAN'T WAIT TO HEAR FROM YOU AGAIN. ON HIS (WILLIAM) DEATH CERT. IT SAYS HE WAS BORN IN MINNEAPOLIS, MN, JAN 24, 1895. HE WAS THEN MARRIED TO EDNA JANE MORTON AND HAVE HIS SS#.
