St. Ansgar Cemetery record:
McKINLEY, Nellie E.
born July 23, 1860
died May 20, 1937

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

**The east cemetery would be the St. Ansgar City Cemetery.

NOTE: While the obituary #1 clearly said she was 78, if one subtracts 1936 (the last year that she observed a birthday) and 1860, one gets an age of 76, not 78. Plus the newspaper with obituary #2 seemed to look like 76, not 78.
