Recently, I learned that my grandmother died in Minneapolis City Hospital on February 10, 1920 following the birth of my mother the previous day. She was entered into the hospital as "Mrs. Fred Rubow" and her Minnesota death certificate lists her as "Mary Rubow." However, she was born Mary Elizabeth Ames and at the time of her death was divorced from Edward C. Berg. Can you help me find her Hennepin County burial site? I believe she was buried as "Mary Elizabeth Rubow" however, any of the above options are possible. An obituary published in a Stanley, North Dakota, newspaper gives this clue: "...funeral and burial services were provided by a Minneapolis minister." Another clue may be in her Norwegian heritage and her family's Norwegian Lutheran religion. M. Joseph Leahy Auke Bay, Alaska
