Buried as George Arthur.

According to the England and Wales Christening Records on Ancestry, an Arthur George Christy, born 24 Oct 1881, was christened 1 November 1881 in Weston, Hertfordshire, England. His parents were Richard and Emma Christy.

According to his son George’s entry in the 1930 census, Arthur was born “at sea, under England flag.”

His birth date is unclear in the U.S. censuses: the 1930 census record was difficult to read. The 1900 census shows his birth year as 1880. The 1880 birth year would also be more consistent with the ages noted for him on his childrens’ birth certificates. His date of emigration was also difficult to read: it may be 1898 in the 1930 census. In the 1900 census, it’s 1890. In the 1910 census, George’s date of emigration appears to be 1882.

George and Dolly and family were living on Aldrich Avenue in Minneapolis in the 1905 state census. George was a masseuse.

The 1900 census shows an Arthur Christy, 19 (born October 1880), married one year to a Sarah, 18 (July 1881), no children, living on Eastman Ave. in Minneapolis next door to, or perhaps in the same apartment as, a Cuthbert family. The head of the Cuthbert family is a man whose name begins with a C (maybe Clement), 46 (July 1853), wife Sofa, 36 (January 1864), daughter May, 15 (November 1884), Clarence E., 13 (September 1886), and Sheridan, 12 (June 1888). Because Sofa is shown as having had 8 children, 4 still living, Sarah is probably her oldest child. Arthur is a day laborer as is his father-in-law.

In the 1909 Minneapolis city directory, he is Arthur G Christy, “attendant,” living at 1408 20th Ave. N.

The 1910 census shows that the family was living in a rented apartment at 1202-1/2 20th Ave. W. This census also has Turkish baths as the industry of George’s occupation. The actual occupation may have been proprietor because he is shown as an employer rather than an employee. The census form is not clear.

Office was on 7th and Henn.

Registered for the draft on September 12, 1918, as Arthur George Christy. Claimed to be native born. Employed in a turkish bath by H. L. Turner at the Lumber Exchange in Minneapolis. His nearest relative is his sister, Mrs. A.E. Warren. He is medium height and build with brown eyes and black hair.

He is probably the 48 year-old Arthur G Christy listed in the 1920 census as a single man lodging at 1504 4th Avenue South in Minneapolis. That Arthur was born in England and was a hotel clerk.

An Arthur G Christy married a Rebecca J Meehan on 21 Aug 1921 in Hennepin County.

George and his young new wife Evelyn are living with Mae and Rhodes in an apartment at 740 Chicago Avenue at the time of the 1930 census.

He is a single divorced man living at 628 8th Avenue S in Minneapolis in the 1940 census. He was a high school graduate and is shown on the census form as born in Minnesota. He was employed as a masseur in a Turkish Bath.

Buried as Ingri G. Egge, wife of K. Thompson.

Her obituary:

Ingri Thompson, a young wife and mother died at her home in Eureka. Funeral services were held and her remains were laid to rest in the Norwegian Christiania Lutheran Church cemetery. Ingri, her husband Knute and their daughter Betsy came to this country in 1854 from Valders, Norway. They first settled in Wisconsin and two years later, in 1856 they came to Eureka township where they pre-empted a homestead near the Twin churches. Knute, Ingri and Betsy were three of the original members of the Christiania Lutheran Church. The entire community extends sympathy to the bereaved husband and ten year old child.

Buried as Isabel Markuson.

Isabel Markuson, age 18, died Wednesday following an illness of tuberculosis of several years duration. She was the daughter of Mrs. Carl Markusen. Her father died as recent as March 7, 1929. Funeral services were held Saturday afternoon at 2:30 at Christiania Lutheran Free Church with Rev B. L. Sundal officiating. Interment was in the church cemetery. Isabel was baptized at the Christiania Church with the given name of Olga Isebel Markusen. Her baptismal sponsors were Alma Markusen and Alf Gilbertson. Isebel was born January 5, 1911 and passed away on June 19th, 1929. She is survived by her mother, Ragna (Gunderson); two brothers, Hogan and Martin; five sisters, Marie, Amelia, Bertha, Clara and Viola. Isebel's father was Karl Markusen, who preceded her in death.
