Henrietta is a relative of mine. She married William Harrison Lee in Decatur Co, Iowa in abt 1872. She died in Beach, North Dakota in Golden Valley Co in November of 1915.

I am looking for any family connections. I would love to find an obituary. Does anyone have access to help me?

Bill i am related to Henrietta she was my great great grandmother - i went to Beach a few years ago and the funeral home there still had all there records on her i was so thrilled to find them and also her grave.
I would have to look in my records for the name of the funeral home , can't remember -but i do have it.

Pattie - I'm thrilled to connect with you. Henrietta was the older sisten of my great grandfather, Denison Branscom. I would like to get as much information as I can and would be glad to share what I've accumulated. I'm working with a researcher in Albany NY by the name of Fred Tubbs who is finalizing a second edition of the Branscom book and I'm the point person on Henrietta & Denison's father, Henry and his family.

If you have any electronic records like Family Tree Maker or a GEDCOM file, I can send you what I have or I would be glad to mail you a hard copy as well.

If you'd prefer, send me an e mail direct and I can give you my additional contact information rather than posting it here on line.

The Beach Advance, Beach, Golden Valley Co, North Dakota, November 19th, 1915
