Thank you, Jan Peter.

I searched on the internet for burials in Yellow Medicine, Minnesota, and found this at the Swede Home Lutheran Cemetery in Swede Prairie Township :

Ole Nelson 07.08.1842 - 07.05.1920
Gjertrud Nelson 05.03.1852 - 13.07.1936
Ludvig Nelson 17.02.1891 - 11.01.1896

This is probably the right Gjertrud !
The one I´m looking for was born 06.03.1852.

Then I searched for the death certificate index for 1936, and there she was listed as Mrs. Julia Nelson, died 13.07.1936...
You found that she was called Julia in the 1910 Census and Gertrude again in 1920...

I will order a death certificate to see what it says.
