Note: I have recorded death and location of death as "disproven" on Legacy database -- see "To - Do" - research Polk Co, Recorder's office at Crookston; and the findagrave note as "0"
- on Familysearch.org (MN death & burials, 1835-1990 index), Marie Rusten died on 5 Oct 1917 at Audubon, Becker Co, MN === BUT parents as Engebret S Jenna and Marit -- so if this is the record that Dale Rosten used, then the date and location is incorrect
