Person:Margaret Ray (20)

The 1880 Census lists a Margt. Ray, age 17, as a servant in the household of J. B. Sackett in St. Peter, MN. This would have been two years before she married Wilton Pulver in 1882. Wilton Pulver worked in the Kasota stone quarry, He and Margaret had a small farm on the outskirts of the town. Their house was originally in town, but was moved up the hill to a location across the road from the cemetery on the bluff East of town. Their son (my father) Richard remembered the day the house was moved. His mother handed cookies out the window of the house to children as it was being moved. Wilton and Margaret along with their daughter Celia are buried in the cemetery across the road. Their son Richard's ashes are also buried there.
