BIRTH:Date taken from Certified Death Certificate; Place of birth given in Death Certificate as Topeka, Kansas. I do not believe that this is correct. The records for Shawnee Co do not start until 1894. Census records also indicate place of birth as Kansas. Homestead Papers for Frank Chamberlin indicate that he homesteaded from Oct 1878 until Nov 1892 in Nicodemus, Graham Co., Kansas. I believe that this is where she was born.

BURIAL:Oak Grove Cemetery,Fergus Falls,MN.
