Hi Kathy, I could add this info on the MNHS death site I sent you if you think it's worth a try. I do not have MNHS for these two people, but I've been tracking for some time. You saw probably Cliff Lien yesterday giving me 11.22.1904 as Ole's death in Riverton, Clay Cty, MN. However I see another possibility with Find a Grave: Mrs. Ole Severson FAG #%8221448 buried at Bethlehem Lutheran Cem., Fosston, Polk Cty, MN cites b. 8.9.1838 and that is one of two (very close) dates I have from Norway for Anna. death of 4.16.1916 That death works for the little I have for my entry in 1900 Census has her alive in Polk Cty Then, 6.20.1924 FindaGrave: #58221437 Ole Severson says d. 6.20.1924 This means Ole was 95 at death per guess of birth at 1929 (several Census say that) Do you think you would be able to search MNHS to see if there's a connect? I could add it to the chart I sent, if you wish. Any thoughts are welcome - thanks also for the admonishion not to believe the divorce record in St. Paul - good to check all things.

I really didn't mean to admonish anybody. :). I just must have read wrong and I thought we were looking for Larsons. I'll probably be able to hit the MN History Center on Tuesday night. That's the one night a week that they stay open late and I can go there after work. Should be super easy to get these death very copies.
