Notes:

Died:
The Spicer family file states that while enroute from Nebraska to Minnesota Nathan contracted diptheria and died on April 16, 1895 near the city of Winnebago and that he was buried there, under a tree. The 1895 census of this family, taken June 20 in Mazeppa, Faribault Co., and to include those family members as of June 1 includes Nathan, age 3. William indicates he has been in the state and district 11 months. Nathan does not appear in subsequent census so I don't doubt he died young and probably of diptheria but I do question the date and surrounding story.
