Minneapolis Deaths 1888

Wednesday’s Child – Ruth B Thomson

Ruth’s headstone is no longer attached to its base. It lies in the soft grass near her parents’ headstones. Ruth is buried at Lakewood Cemetery in Minneapolis and has a memorial on Find A Grave. May she and her parents rest in peace.

Wednesday’s Child – Ella Louise Hankenson

A necklace around the top of Ella’s memorial caught my eye the first time I visited her at Lakewood Cemetery in Minneapolis. And the second time. And every time thereafter. Who, I wonder, it adding this piece of jewelry to a monument erected in 1888? And why?

Forty-plus years since I started, I'm still passionate about family history research and my English, French, German, Manx, Norwegian, Swedish and Swiss ancestors.
