A burial at Minneapolis Pioneers Cemetery lists a child that died at age 15, in 1894, listing parents as Ole and G. (Wirum) Satherlie as parents. If she were the child of this Ole I would expect her to be listed in the 1885 census.

Census:
1895 Minnesota State census shows, at 2413 27th Av, Minneapolis, Ole Satterlee, 40, b. NORWAY, resident of state 16 years, resident of district 15 years, plasterer; Thea, 35, b. NORWAY; children, b.

NORWAY and Andrew Satterlee, 29, b. NORWAY, in state and district 6 years. Note: I believe the above Gurri (?) is Ole's mother and that Breata is Thea's mother. Andrew may be a brother to Ole, although no proof for any of the 3 suppositions.

Census:

Also enumerated with this family are 4 boarders, the first two definately share the same last name, the third is indexed as having the Satherlie last name but the image I can see doesn't exactly look like that to me. They are Andrew Satherlie, b. Jun 1867, 32, b. NORWAY, parents b. NORWAY, immigrated 1889, in country 11 years, wood turner; Sanra or Laura Satherlie, b. May 1826, 74, widowed, b. NORWAY, parents b.

Susie to Samuel and Francis (Clark) Bacon and Eliza to Alanson and Celina (Bacon) Nash. Samuel and Celina were brother and sister. George attempted to place little George with a family but he continued to run away from those homes to return to his father and brothers.

Samuel and Frances (Clark) Bacon

Died:
Death certificate lists name of father as George Brockman, b. England and mother as unknown. Age at marriage as 18 and mother of 2 children, 2 of whom are living. Cause of death listed as asthma contributed to by la grippe and acute enteritis.
The death certificate index lists the date as Jan 22, her obituary lists January 28, I suspect the latter is correct and the former is an indexing error.
