    Notes 
    • The Spillums lived in Grand Forks, North Dakota in 1948 and 1951. Dennis was a fireman for the Great Northern Railway. Barbara was still living in Grand Forks as late as 2001.

      She and Walter were married and living with her mother on the family farm in Belmont Twp in the 1940 census.

      Barbara J. Spillum passed away March 13, 2012, at Marshall Hospital in Placerville, Calif., with her daughter Ida at her side. She was born Oct. 4, 1917, in Buxton, N.D. She was the daughter of Samson and Ida Nesvig. She married Walter D. Spillum on Dec. 5, 1939, in Crookston, Minn. She was a homemaker most of her life and made her home with her husband in Crookston until 1943, when they moved to Grand Forks, N.D. This was her home until 2001, when she moved to California to be with her daughter and son-in-law, John and Ida Brady in Vacaville. In 2003, Barbara moved to Pollock Pines, Calif., with John and Ida.

      Barbara will be missed by all she knew throughout her life and we were truly blessed to have had her in our lives.
