Addition comments by submitter: I am not sure when he died. Carrie is listed in the 1910 census as a widow as of April 15, 1910. The history of the Worth county court house lists him as Clerk of Courts from 1905 to 1911. WPA's "Tomb Stone Records of Worth County, Iowa" lists Holgrim K. Myli as being buried in Elk Creek cemetery, Brookfield township and dying on 4/11/1900.

Other sources spell his wife's name as Kari Sando.
