| I have found where they have a Naturalization record for Edward but cannot find one for Maggie or Margrethe. Do you think they would have information about her on his record? |

Jedi,
Women seldom have to go through the procedure because if they are part of a marriage in which the spouse has become naturalized, at most times [rules & regulations change], they are considered to be naturalized, based on his. {His file may contain information about his family particularly in later dates say 1910 + but less likely to in this case, since he got a homestead in 1902.]
Norwegian women did take homesteads, though, in significant numbers. Homesteads required that you file the Declaration of Intention [to become a citizen], so mostly you will find first papers. The second papers are the actual citizenship and not required to take a homestead. The first papers could be filed anywhere the person was living when they decided to file them, not necessarily where their homestead land was. Did Margaret as a single woman, take a homestead? Try http://www.glorecords.blm.gov/
land patent search, standard.
You do need to look at the Pennington County H.S. website as I know you will find some good things listed there in the obituary search. Copies of obits listed in the database may also be ordered from them.
Happy Hunting.
Jackie M.

| Thank you so much for answering me. I have ordered her obit. I did find that on the link you sent. I'm hoping there will be something in it, I visited her grave today. |

| Thanks...found her obituaty. She was born in Lofsten Norway on June 14, 1867 and grew up in Trondeim Norway. She came to America in 1891 and Married Edward a few years later. They did not give her maiden name or list any relatives in Norway. |
