Jan,
Where in Minnesota is you Clarence Grant CANFIELD buried? My sons'
CANFIELD ancestors migrated from PA to south eastern Minnesota -
Kellogg in Wabasha County. Their great grandfather moved to northern
Wisconsin - Washburn County - and ran a resort on the Namekagon River
near Trego, WI.
There are many CANFIELDs buried in Kellogg and thereabouts.
