Hi all,
Please excuse my repition, but my post for M O Skuttle was started because I was looking over a piece from the probate. A certain sum was paid out to a M O Skuttle, Undertaker. I know from the other link he operated a general store in Buffalo Center, Iowa. There was also a doctor bill on the probate, but I could only guess at the name.

And the relation between Edward Iverson [this topic] and your Mathilde is...???
And btw; Monsdatter was a very strange name for a man...

Try checking the 1900 US census for Winnebago Co., Iowa. You might find a possible in Buffalo Center on Sheet 9A (stamped as page 197).
You changed the spelling from Skuttle to Skullie? the possible in the index is M.O. Skutle. In 1900 the households with that surname appear in Minnesota and Winnebago Co. Iowa - with the majority in the Iowa county.

What would the job of "undertaker" have involved in rural northern Iowa in 1901? perhaps selling a casket and/or providing a funeral carriage/horse-drawn hearse that would carry the deceased to the cemetery? That certainly would not seem to have been a full-time occupation in such a location in 1901. Those services might have made sense for a furniture store owner, perhaps even a general store owner.
The modern "undertaker" or mortician services as we Americans have come to think of them are quite recent - not really generally accepted until at least the1920's according to one historical website I was able to find. That website also said that the science of modern American embalming services was developed during the US civil war to allow the shipping of the war dead back to their families but did NOT automatically become a service in broad demand.
The particular history of that service in the Winnebago County Iowa area?? You should contact a local historical or genealogical society in that area or someone involved in that type of business today who may have an interest in local history.

| Hopkins, Thanks for your insight. Now that you have put me on some more leads, I will have to look up this M. O. Skuttle. I believe he had some sort of store in Forest City. |

| Hopkins and all, One last question. Of course I know about his and my grandmother's offspring. However, I am wondering if he had any siblings. It seems that somehow I remember he had a brother by the name of John. Finally, if possible could you give me the name of his parents. |

Your information about a brother that appears on the Internet -
http://archiver.rootsweb.com/th/read/iawinneb/2006-12/1166887527
If you go back to the archives of the Norway-List you'll find that someone gave you information that the daughter, Nellie, was living with her uncle and his father and mother in the 1900 US census. You look at that census - you should have the name of Nellie's Iverson grandparents. That poster gave you a LARGE amount of information but you never responded.
Search the archives of the Norway-List -- http://lists.rootsweb.com/index/intl/NOR/NORWAY.html |

Hopkins and all, please forgive me if I have been a little slow to act. I have been trying to be deliberate so the people in Iowa can fully remember/ find what happened to a man who died over a century ago.
Today I have sent the folks in Forest City a packet containing a wide variety of information.
Oh, by the way, I don't know it he ever had a stone, but I would bet good money that he is burried in the Bethel Cemetery in dVinje, Iowa. His daughter by his former marriage and a brrother is burried there.

| Hopkins, One last question: Both the father to Edward and his brother John was Ole Iverson. In Edwards brief obituary he is listed as being survived by his wife and his brother John. Could John have the first name Ole? |

You already asked your "last question" on 19 Sept 2007 (see above). I have no more answers to your questions.

| Hi all, please forgive me if I get a bit to repetive, but if Edward is burried in Iowa, he is burried in an unmarked grave in either the Trinity or Bethel Cemetery in Vinjie. |
