NOTE:
Some sources spell her first name as Elvina and some spell it Elevine.
Her obituary in the St. Ansgar Enterprise clearly reads Elevine.
The First Lutheran Church records are clearly Elevine; and burial records at First Lutheran say Elevine.
Her sister, Caroline's, obituary reads Elvina as does her mother's obituary.
