Clara Jane Shields - wife of Houstman, found

SHIELDS, HOUSTMAN

Another Shields girls - sister to the Catherine I also posted about, has been found and I am getting further info.

Clara Jane Shields, born 1857 died 1949 in Sandstone, Pine Co., MN. Her husband John Merritt Houstman, Jr. died 1930 and is buried at the Turtle Lake Cemetery in Lake Williams, McLean Co., ND. One record shows he died in Minnesota but is buried in North Dakota - odd? There is a Pauline Houstman (1911-1994) also buried there but currently unsure of the relationship.

I am suspecting that John and Clara moved to MN (1930 census says she lives alone and ownes the house) and John died shortly afterwards? I do know that the son Jr. also lived in Sandstone so they may have moved to be close to him? But appears that possibly Clara is buried in Minnesota. There is one cemetery in Sandstone named Spring Park Cemetery but no data is online and again, seeking further info. Will post when it comes in but if anyone else has further info, I would appreciate your sharing it.

Jim
