DOHERTY DOUGHERTY O'DONNELL

Dawn
13 May 2002

I am looking for Bridget O'DONNELL. She is listed in the 1900 census for Leeds Twp, Benson County as being 64 years old and single. I believe she might have died prior to 1910 but can't find any record of her burial. Her brother-in-law, John DOHERTY was buried in St Vincent's in 1906. I believe that would be the same cemetery (both Catholic) if someone has record of those graves. It bothers me that I don't know what ever happened to her. My great grandmother was named after her (Grace Bridget DOHERTY).
Any help or questions on the John and Hannah (O'DONNELL) DOHERTY family that lived in Benson County would be welcome! Thanks
