Dollie (Sarah) CUTHBERT

Other Events and Attributes:

• MN Death Cert Checked: Y
• Minnesota Death Certificate: 1947-MN-022810

Notes:

The 1910 census says Dollie or Dottie. In that census, her father was born in Michigan, her mother in Minnesota.

The maiden name of Cuthbert comes from the entry on Emma Mae’s death certificate.

Buried as 61 year-old Dolly Christy.

Dolly (as Sarah) and her husband Arthur lived next door to her parents in the 1900 census.

An article in the Tribune on March 21, 1914, describes a search for Dolly Christy, wife of George Christy of 1519 Park Avenue, who had been missing from her home for five days.

She is probably the 32 year-old Dollie living with her apparent husband, Fred Bungert, in Omaha at the time of the 1920 census. Living with them was E. Ernest Christy, 17, “step-son.” The Dollie living with Bungert was born in Minnesota to a father born in Kansas and a mother in Pennsylvania. Fred was a cattle buyer.

Fred and Dollie Bungert live in Minneapolis in the 1930 census with their (his? her?) 15 year-old son Joseph. That Dollie is still shown as born in Minnesota to father born in Kansas and a mother born in Pennsylvania. They live at 1825½ Minnehaha Avenue in south Minneapolis.

She died as the widow of George Arthur Christy at her home, 406 E 15th Street in Minneapolis. The informant for her death certificate was Ernest E Christy of 5545 36th Avenue S. She died from stomach cancer.

Birth:
the date in her death certificate was 17 July 1886 in Waterville, Minnesota.

Dollie married Arthur George CHRISTY on 7 Nov 1899 in Minneapolis, Hennepin County, Minnesota. Arthur (son of Richard Watson CHRISTY and Emma C CRAFT) was born on 24 Oct 1881 in Bedfordshire, Hertfordshire, England; died on 24 Jan 1941 in Hennepin County, Minnesota; was buried on 27 Jan 1941 in Lakewood Cemetery, Minneapolis, Hennepin County, Minnesota.

An Evelyn Christy married Nick Melino (MOMS calls him Melind) in Minneapolis on 6 Oct 1914.

In the 1920 census, she is the 20 year-old Evelyn Melina, wife of Nick, mother of Boby and Doly. In that census, the family lives in Minneapolis. Nick had come to the U.S. in 1905. Included in the household in that 1920 census are two of Nick’s brothers, who also came to the U.S. in 1905, Martin and Ralph. Nick and his brothers worked as laborers.

In the 1930 census, Evelyn was single and lived at a rooming house in Minneapolis. She had no occupation. If we combine the census entries for her and her son, it appears that she and Robert are living with Kenneth McKenzie, 28, Orpha McKenzie, 25, and Elma McKenzie, 7 months, among others, at 1816 Nicollet. One of those “others” was Raymond Jones, 34, a taxi driver.

She and her husband lived at 993 Aldrich Avenue North at the time of her death.

She died of a heart attack. Her death certicate noted that she was a General Hospital Clinic patient and that an “ambulance was called and found patient dead.”

Minnesota labor leader Howard Fortier was known as a gentleman and for keeping his word.

"He was one of the outstanding leaders in labor history," said Robert Fenlon of Mendota Heights, an attorney for the Greater Metropolitan Auto Dealers Association. "The thing that I admire about him was that you could always bank on his word."

Fortier, 77, ran the state Teamsters union for much of the 1980s. He died Wednesday of heart complications at Abbott Northwestern Hospital in Minneapolis.

His career with the Teamsters began in 1953, when he became an organizer for Teamsters Joint Council 32, the umbrella organization for all Teamsters locals in Minnesota. In 1960 he was hired as a business agent by Local 974, and the next year was elected secretary-treasurer.

At the state level, he was elected a trustee to the executive board of Joint Council 32 in 1963. He became secretary-treasurer in 1965 and president in 1985.

Dan Fortier of Minnetonka said his father was "an outstanding human being who brought great dignity to his job, along with candor, integrity, trust, word of honor." He said his father was on a first-name basis with many governors, mayors, legislators and judges.

"He had their ear, and he talked policy with them," Dan Fortier said. "He was so involved and he was so respected."

John Derus of Minneapolis, a former City Council member and Hennepin County commissioner, called Fortier a "tough guy" who was "thoroughly decent."

"Howard Fortier was a guy who believed there was a lot of dignity in working with your hands," he said. "He was most at home with guys who drove trucks for a living."

Al Hofstede, former Minneapolis mayor, said Fortier never forgot who he represented.

"He fully understood that you have to work with management and make sure that they grow, because then you have the opportunity to grow," he said.

In addition to his son, Fortier is survived by his wife, Sandy; four daughters, Cherie Hazel of Prior Lake, Barb Wood of Savage, Pam Rose of Shakopee and Sarah of Columbia Heights; two other sons, Sean of Grand Forks, N.D., and Scott of Little Falls, Minn.; three sisters, Barbara Fautch of Bloomington, Lila Cavanaugh of Minneapolis and Mary Petri of Finlayson, Minn.; four brothers, Rhodes Peterson of Minneapolis, Duane Peterson, and Fred and Ed Fortier, both of Plymouth; six grandchildren, and two great-grandchildren.
