I checked the census records and found them living in Collinwood Township, Meeker County in 1900, 1910, 1920, and 1930. Andrew and Helena Holmgren. If these are the right people you will need to find an obituary in Meeker County. She was probably in the hospital in Willmar and died there. Willmar was the regional hospital in 1939 as the smaller towns did not have hospitals at the time. Collinwood Township according to the map is close to Dassel. So could possible find in that paper or perhaps the Litchfield paper. Try the Random Acts of Genealogical Kindness (RAOGK) site and see if there is some one in Meeker County that could do a look up for you. Here is the address http://www.raogk.org/ If you want a copy of the census record let me know and I can send them to you. Briefly from the census.
