Posted on: Polk County Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Mn/Polk/409 Surname: SPENCER, HACKETT ------------------------- Wife of Arthur J.Spencer-Ellie/Ella/Helen (Hackett) Spencer died in Crookston, POLK Co., Mn. on 23 or 24 Feb., 1903 & was burr. St. Lukes Catholic Cem., Clearwater, Mn. Her husband was farming in `the valley` at that time south of Moorhead. I found her records at the St.Cloud archdioces this week after a 12 year search. Was Ella with relatives? Is there a chance to find an obit. on Ella since the dates are specific? She was at Sherburne Co., Mn on the census in 1900 with her four children and mother in law. She died at age 35, 9 mo. Any information welcomed. ws dfsperchw@hotmail.com
