Thanks, Carol . very appropo sentiments. I just got the death certificate back from Minnesota Historical Society on Marguerite Pfeifer. Some very interesting elements. She was the wife of Fred B Pfeifer. She died at 81 on 9/27/76 in Minneapolis medical center, immediate cause of death, pulmonary embolism, due to immobilization, due to burns of undetermine etiology (probably hot water). Autopsy was done. Says deceased sustained injury at home, probably hot water. Certificate says she was divorced. Fred B died in 67 in Spokane, so Deb and I guess they divorced sometime prior to 67, she may have been a single mother? Fred may have taken off? Appears to be living alone, maybe had accident and died before anyone checked on her. Her birthplace is given as Minneapolis. Father was a George Falbisaner, and mother , Annie Peters. She apparently was the "Catholic girl" Fred B ran off with to cause the family rift. Investigation continuing.
