Came directly to Willmar and married same day. [Issue: June 25, 1913, page 5, Willmar Tribune] Bertha McCutchan was buried in Willow Section of Fairview Cemetery, Willmar, Kandiyohi County. The dates on her stone are 1881-1957. Marvel McCutchan was buried in Willow Section of Fairview Cemetery, Willmar. The dates on her stone are 1914-2002. I found no other McCutchans. ********** "Marvel V. McCutchan June 11, 1914-Nov. 10, 2002 Willmar--Marvel V. McCutchan, 88, of Willmar died Sunday at Bethesda Heritage Nursing Home in Willmar. A private service will be held on Friday at Fairview Cemetery in Willmar with the Rev. Gary Mikkelson officiating. There will be no visitation. Arrangements are by Peterson Brothers Funeral Home in Willmar. Memorials may be made to Humane Society. She was born June 11, 1914, in Willmar to Barkley and Bertha (Berkness) McCutchan. She grew up in Willmar and graduated from Willmar High School in 1935. For over 20 years she worked at the Willmar Regional Treatment Center as the dining and food service supervisor, retiring in 1979. She was member of the State of Minnesota Retirees Union, the Degree of Honor and was a board member and secretary of the Kandiyohi County Humane Society. She is survived by sister, Dorothy Mattson of Willmar; a nephew Donald Mattson of Willmar; great grand niece, Sandra Stieler of New London. She was preceded in death by her parents." ******** I looked through all of the index cards in the library for the microfilm of the Willmar Tribune and could not find any Mattson listing for Dorothy. However, there was the following: Mattson, Reuben 'Shorty' 95 Willmar June 14, 1902-Jan. 22, 1998 Parents Olaf and Ingrid Bengtson Mattson sis-in-law Dorothy Mattson 3 bros, 2 sis dec'd Tripolis Evangelical Lutheran Church and Cemetery, rural Kandiyohi [Issue Jan. 23, 1998, A-8, Willmar Tribune] I found a Dorothy M. Mattson buried at Tripolis but have no way of knowing whether it is your Dorothy. The phone book for Willmar lists the following (no Dorothy Mattson): Donald S. Mattson, MD 2702 Tenth St. SW Willmar, MN 56201 320-235-4315 I don't know whether this is your Donald Mattson, though. Curt and Sandy Steiler 7589 158th Ave. NE Spicer, MN 56288 320-354-4373 This Sandy would probably be your best bet. Good Luck.
