Death:

Marshfield Twp, Lincoln, Minnesota

Mother:
Notes:
Cathrine Clausen died age 28 in a miscarriage near Tyler (Section 33, Marshfield Township)
Lincoln, Minn. where the family had gone to farm. This spelling of Cathrine is written in her own hand in
her Lutheran Bible passed to her husband and then to Maria Cathrine
Henrietta Hagedorn (Mary)grandmother of Joyce Goodman. It is in the possession of Joyce Goodman. She was called Katie (spelling?).
She was small-boned. Her husband said he could span her waist with his hands.
Family tradition says she came to America with her brother and mother
in 1867, settling in Minnesota somewhere near Winona and then living with the Higgs family as a domestic in the second ward, City of Winona in 1870 (1870 census). Family tradition says she moved to Rochester, where she met
her husband, William Fredrich Hagedorn, jr. They were married in Rochester 21 Sept. 1872 and moved to Potsdam, Olmstead County.
There may have been a child born before the two who lived, since first children in the Hagedorn family were usually named after the father. There would have been time for a child before Charles Martin (1875) and Maria (1877). When weather ruined the crops, the little family moved to the southwestern part of the state in Lincoln County. In her first months of carrying this last child, Cathrine (called Kati) slipped from a wagon. They were far from medical help and both she and the baby died .It seems they were living in a dugout until the husband could build a home. The grandparents moved to help their son with his two small children. Maria, called Mary, remembers her grandmother to be very strict and very religious.

Marr:
Notes:
This child was born dead or died shortly afterward. The fact that the
family tradition was to name the first boy after his father, and the first
living child was named Charles Martin, indicates that the first baby died.
Also, found in notes from Mary Monner (Maria Cathrine H. Hagedorn
Sommerlade) in her life story. A small grave is found in Tyler,
Minnesota, the Hope Cemetary (2x4) without a marker, but in the vicinity
of the Hagedorn family (Minnie Lutz, the grandmother). Graves were
moved from Marshfield, where Cathrine died carrying her fourth baby.
She may also be buried there in one of three unmarked graves, having
been moved when Marshfield was no longer a town but would be used for
farms. It is not known if this baby was moved with the family all the
way from Potsdam or Rochester (Olmsted Cty.) where it would have died,
or who is buried at Hope Cemetary in the small grave.
Not necessary to do endowment and baptism for someone who died before
age 8.
