  3 Dorthea Maria Nilsdatter, born september 7th 1849 in Husby, Tomma, Norway.
  4 Nils Andreas Christian Nilsen, born may 12th 1856 in Husby, Tomma, Norway. July 22 1880 he left Norway in a ship called Tasso. When he left he was bound for St. Paul Minnesota.

  Colonel Ellsworth Bailey was born in 1862 and died in the Brainerd area in 1944. Emma Josephine Bailey was born in 1866 and died also in the Brainerd area in 1951. Lottie Belle Bailey was born 7-23-1890. She married Silas Butrum,and she died May 6, 1920 in Webster City, Iowa. Silas died 6 weeks later. One of their daughters, Bertha Belle Butrum was raised by the grandparents, the Baileys. They also had several sons, one being Roy. It is the sons' families that I am looking for and believe some of the sons were in the ST. PAUL area. Losing his parents at a young age, my Father was Leo Clarence Butrum (adopted-Neese), grandson of the Baileys-but never raised around them. Would love to find these relatives, any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks much, Deloris Naughton

  My great-grandmother, Sarah O'Donnell, immigrated to the US in 1886 from Rusheenamanagh, Co. Galway, Ireland. She, her mother Mary, and siblings Mary, Margaret, Thomas, Michael, Ann, and Nellie settled in St. Paul, MN in 1886. Sarah married Patrick E. King in St. Paul in 1898, then settled in Seattle, WA. One of the boys moved to San Francisco, and was killed in a train accident. The other boy stayed in St. Paul and was killed in a construction accident. The elder Mary, Nellie, Margaret, and Mary the daughter remained in St. Paul while Ann married Thomas Cunningham and moved to Chicago, IL. I am very interested in learning more about the O'Donnells who stayed in St. Paul, as it is they that I know the least about.
