---- --------------------------
Ancestry: includes a hint or suggestion to: WA state death cert
- and looking at the actual certificate posted on WA State Digital Archives
- born 1 Oct 1875 MN and died 14 Dec 1957 at hospital Seattle, King Co, WA - with her residence as 3303- 56 St SW
- father, Lars Mikkelson, informant was James B Nicholso, Seattle - no relationship note

- I'm not sure why she was living in Seattle or when she went there

Also: noted the 2 photos that I have: Mathilda and Lars Grue; lunch break and then a photo at Thore and Berit Grue's homestead in Whitecourt, with a date of 1928
---- it is likely that Mathilda travel to AB and stayed with Lars and Avey Grue - they then went on a road trip to Whitecourt. Of couse Mathilda and Berit were sisters
