I am looking for Bridget O'DONNELL. She is listed in the 1900 census for Leeds Twp, Benson County as being 64 years old and single. I believe she might have died prior to 1910 but can't find any record of her burial. Her brother-in-law, John DOHERTY was buried in St Vincent's in 1906. I believe that would be the same cemetery (both Catholic) if someone has record of those graves. It bothers me that I don't know what ever happened to her. My great grandmother was named after her (Grace Bridget DOHERTY).
Any help or questions on the John and Hannah (O'DONNELL) DOHERTY family that lived in Benson County would be welcome! Thanks

Hello Benson County Query !
Searching for my Great Uncle named Julius Jansen HAGEN. He was born in or near Bee, Minnesota on Jan. 20, 1879. When he was a young man he left and we were last told that he lived in Esmond , North Dakota. I know he would be gone by now, but I would love to know what cemetary he is buried at and also if there are any children alive. His father was John Gulbrandsen HAGEN and his Mother was Berte Johansdatter HAGEN. There is only one elderly niece still living in Bee, Minnesota and She does not have the names of her cousins (if any). She does not know. I am trying to finish the descendents list in my family and Julius Jansen HAGEN's family is missing from that important list . Any informations or referal's would be Greatly appreciated.
Mange Takk ( Meaning Many Thanks )
