    Notes 
    • Called Mary in the 1880 census.

      The 1900 census shows her as 21 years old, born in September of 1878. She is in the 1880 census as one year-old Mary. It’s hard to understand why the obvious error of the 1881 birth date is repeated so many times in the records, including her gravestone and her obit.

      In the 1930 census, she is Minnie Grove, age 39, living in a rooming house in Fargo, North Dakota. She is a corset clerk in a department store.

      Minnie’s obit in the Faribault Daily News, cited by Dalby:

      Funeral services for Miss Minnie Grove, 73, who passed away at the Northfield Hospital Tuesday evening, Dec. 28, after a short illness, were held this afternoon at the Anderson Funeral Chapel. The Rev. Ivar Ramseth officiated at 1:30 p.m. Burial was made in the family lot in the Northfield Cemetery. Pallbearers were John Elling, Roland Hoover, John Ellingboe, Clarence Kolstad, Algot Pearson and Forest Drake. Miss Minnie Grove was born in Northfield on Sept. 6, 1881. She made her home in Northfield where she attended the local schools and was employed for several years as saleslady in the Alex Marshall Company. In 1924 she left to make her home in Fargo, N. D., where she remained until 1938. Since that time she has resided in Northfield and Minneapolis making her home with her sister, Mrs. Emma Hemsworth. For the past several years they have spent the winters in an apartment in the Elling house and their summers in Mrs. Hemsworth's home in Minneapolis. Besides her sister, Miss Grove, is survived by several nieces and nephews including Mrs. Chris Christensen of Northfield.
