Research
Unable to find her in 1900 census for SD or MN.
There was an Elizabeth Brooks who died 05-JAN-1930, Minneapolis.
MNHS Certificate Number: 1930-MN-017539
and Findagrave MEMORIAL# 173383682 (says born 1865) - Lakewood Cem. Section 25, Lot 466, Grave 5
Note: Section 25, Lot 466, Grave 4 has “Andrew Brooks” 1847-1933. 1920 census has such a couple living in Minneapolis, but it says she was born in England. So not the right Elizabeth. Also says they lived at 2637 Dupont av S, which matches the obituary noted below.
An obituary dated 7 Jan 1930, The Minneapolis Morning Tribune (indexed as Star Tribune), p.19, says that Elizabeth lived at 2637 Dupont av S.; unfortunately no family members mentioned. Same day in The Minneapolis Star the death was listed in the Deaths statistics column, p.13. same list was in The Minneapolis Morning Tribune on 8 Jan 1930, p.11.
The new records search site at mnhs.org claims the death was on 1 Jan 1930 (but the serch results page has the other date) and they no longer display the cert# (but claim they do). In any case, this appears to be for the Elizabeth who was born in England.
