Misc. Notes
In the 1900 census report (Source [4]), he and Minnie reported that they had been married 14 years when in fact it was less than one. Not sure if they were trying to fool the census taker over the fact that his step-daughter Grace Hull was 13 years old at the time, or if the census taker got his information from somebody who didn’t know the real story.
According to Clinton James CHRISTOPHER (on 21-Aug-1977), Isaac worked as a grave digger at Hillside Cemetery and thus obtained a free burial plot.
Isaac is believed to be the namesake of Isaac W. THOMPSON (b.1826, PA - based on the 1880 census, or 9-SEP-1830 based on History Of Sauk Co., 1880), a neighbor of Thomas B. Allen (Isaac’s family is listed immediately before Thomas in the 1860 census). At Tuckertown Cemetery, to the immediate south of the Allen stone is a grave marked “Margaret wife of I.W. Thompson, died Oct. 7, 1865” and although there is no marker for Isaac Thompson, he is buried near his first wife [2596]. I.W. Thompson was one of the appraisers of Thomas Allen’s estate in 1879. [598] Current assumption is that I.W. Thompson was in fact Thomas’ brother-in-law.
Isaac & family moved from South Dakota to Minneapolis, MN, about 1901. [29]
While it could be a case of omission on the part of the Minneapolis City Directory, in the 1922 edition, Isaac’s listing did not specify an occupation, which it had in all previous years that he was listed. [2707]
Isaac’s official cause of death was “Illuminating gas poisoning, probably accidental.” [29]

The 1925 death certificate example shown there was submitted by Bruce Christopher from Isaac’s death certificate (Source [29]).
Burial detail: There is a ground-level marker stone identifying Lot 349 in the south 1/3 of Section I. Isaac’s grave is the 3rd one south of that marker. It is about 25 paces east of the road on the west side of the section and about 30 paces north of the road on the south. The grave is shared with his wife, his wife’s oldest daughter, Grace and her husband, Augustus McKinney (based on in-person visit).

Misc. Notes
Marriage to first husband, Walter Hull, is believed to have been a double wedding with Minnie's sister Anna Melinda marrying Walter's brother Charles. [169]
Lived in Lincoln, NE, until Walter HULL “disappeared.” Then she moved back to Webster, SD. [169]
Marriage to Walter Hull was after April, 1885, since the gossip column that month referred to her as Miss Minnie Hanson. [516]
Unable to find marriage announcement in “Reporter and Farmer” (Webster, SD) for year 1885, but three issues from September, 1885, were missing from the microfilm records (examined April through December, 1885 and Jan-Feb, 1886.).
Walter & Minnie lived in Otoe County, Nebraska as of 26-DEC-1888. [3] This may have been in or near the township and precinct of Four-Mile, which is where D.T. HAYDEN lived at the time of the 1880 census. HAYDEN was the lawyer and Notary Public who notarized Source[3]. In that document, a Quit Claim Deed, Walter & Minnie released all claims with respect to some land, to Minnie’s mother, Olina Hanson: The south half of the south east quarter of section 14 and the south west quarter of the north east quarter of section 13 and the south east quarter of the north east quarter of the north west quarter of section 27, township 120 north, range 33 west in the county of Kandiyohi, Minnesota, 130 acres “more or less.” That corresponds to the known farm properties originally belonging to Minnie’s father, Austin Hanson, in Harrison Twp. in said county.
