This person is looking for living relatives and includes a bit of family
information. Since I don't live in the area, I am passing it on to several
lists.

Dear Sir
I am a Norwegian searching for my relatives.
I am looking for Arthur Lee.....Maybe a common name...He was born in
Minnesota (I think) in 1884 (perhaps in October) - When his mother dies in
December 1935 - it is said that he lives in Harlowtown, Montana. This
information is found here: "From the Howard Lake Herald, Dec. 5, 1935
Obituary: "Mrs. Lee whose maiden name was Mattilde Hensen was born in
Drammen, Norway and died Wednesday night at her home in Howard Lake
of
pneumonia. She spent her girlhood days there and came to this country
and
to Minnesota at the age of 23. She was married shortly after to Iver Lee.
They settled on a farm near Howard Lake. Five children were born of this
marriage, three of whom survive. Her husband and two children preceded her
in death. Mr. Lee and son, Henry, in 1900, and an infant son who died at
birth."
"Mrs. Lee spent the last thirty years of her life in the village of Howard
Lake. She leaves to mourn her going two sons, Arthur Lee of Harlowtown,
Mont. And Charles Lee of Long Beach, Calif., also one daughter, Mrs. Elmer
Barsness of Minneapolis, a sister, Mrs. John Frederickson of Cleveland,
Ohio, and a brother, Peter Hansen of Cleveland, Ohio.
The funeral was held Sunday afternoon from the Presbyterian church,
the
pastor, Rev. Channer, officiating. The pallbearers were Arthur and Charles
Smith, Mont McRoberts, Willie Montgomery, Al Nord and L. G. Roberts.
Interment was in the local cemetery."
My dream is to find any living relatives of these people. Perhaps you know
someone who can help me?? It is so difficult to search "from the other side
of the World"... Thank you for reading ! Best regards
