  1. David, I came across your blog while researching an ancestor who moved from Michigan to Minot in about 1890. He died there in 1899. I see you have posted information from the Minot Daily Optic. Do you happen to have access to their archives? I would be more appreciative than you can imagine if by some miracle you could produce his obituary.

    His name was Alfred Lowe and he died in February, 1899. He left behind a wife, Hattie, and several children.

    The state's death records are pretty spotty for this time period and I'm hoping against hope you might have something!
