| Notes: |
At the time of the April 21, 1910 federal census, Frances Delaney was
13 years old and living with her uncle Edward Delaney, her grandparents
Eliza and Con Crowley, and her aunt Lucy Affolter on Edward's farm
in St. George Twp., Benton Co., MN. She stated she was born in Illinois
of an Irish-English father and that her mother was born in Wisconsin.
(Connie Balder Mickolajak reminisces on her Aunt Frances): "While most of the children were kept at the asylum for years, or adopted out to families, our great grandmother Elizabeth, Anna's mother, traveled to Chicago and brought both Anna and Frances back to her home in Minden Twp., Benton County. Elizabeth raised the baby, who later married Ben Albright and had a family of her own: Ruth, Ralph and a girl Lauretta, who died as a toddler. She lived the rest of her life, except for the last several years when she was in ill health, on a farm near the church in Minden Twp. She died in 1984, in Sauk Rapids." |
