How was her name spelled? Did the death record give an age?
The story of Kari going to the hospital in St Peter fits with the children showing up as scattered, living with unknown families, in subsequent years.

Kari Lars Rustin
Date of Death: March 12, 1920
Date of birth: 1851
Place of birth: Norway
Place of death: Nicollet County
That is all the information on the record. I do believe that this is Kari but I was hoping for definite confirmation. Another piece of information I found is that there is no Kari Lars Rustin buried in the cemetery at the hospital.

Okay, thanks. Good work. How does that date of death fit with cemetery burial records (for the Kari buried beside Lars). I think you posted your correspondence with the pastor on that topic, somewhere in the thread...

I checked - it's page 10. Only says 1920 (for the original burial - some graves were moved). Presumably the cemetery record has a specific burial date...?

I agree you want more confirmation, but the circumstantial evidence is strong that it's the same woman who died12 March 1920 in St Peter and who was buried 1920 beside Lars.

Does death record specify St Peter? Is there a doctor or other signature?

The headstone says 1920 and the church records had two dates 1920 and 1921. No specific date. I will keep checking with the pastor to see if there is burial information or who purchased the headstone.

Yes, circumstantial is very strong. Especially as we can not find any other candidate and the fact of the children being displaced. It is almost like a lack of information helps substantiate the case for this being her.

While looking on Find A Grave I found the stone for Lena Larson,the daughter of Hans and Marit Larson. in the St. Olaf Cemetery. The stone is inscribed Lena Hanson but at the base of the stone it is inscribed RUSTEN. Just thought you would find that interesting.

I received documents from the Minnesota Historical Society with information from St. Peter's Hospital. Kari Lars Rustin from Odin was admitted there more than once. In 1884 and 1888. She was admitted by a Judge of Probate and her husband is listed as Lars Rustin and then L. H. Rusten from Odin. The cause says she was admitted for depression after childbirth both times. It seems she never left after 1888 admission and died in 1920. I will type this up in a better format with dates etc. after processing it further. Very exciting information.

I just received the death certificate for Kari Lars Rustin that I ordered from the historical society. It contained additional information from what was sent by the county office. Kari Lars Rustin, who died on March 12, 1920 at St. Peter's Hospital, was buried in Odin, Minnesota. This is just as we thought, but now have definite proof. Thank you all so much for your invaluable assistance tracing this family.

A possible candidate for Kari, the daughter (page 10 of this thread). From the Evangelical Lutheran records of Long Lake Lutheran, Wetonwen (Watonwan)
Kari Larsdatter burial 3 October, 1880. Age 2 1/2 years old.
The family left Norway in April 1880.
Arrived in New York in June 1880.
So they could have been in Minnesota by October 1880.

There is no information I could see on the parents' names. Is there any other source you can think of that could help verify this?

A very good fit, I see from the original record attached to the Ancestry.com record that she is listed as having been born in Norge and was only two and a half years old when she died. That would explain why she did not appear in the 1885 Minnesota Census. It was good that you mentioned that she was discussed on page 10 especially with a topic as long as this one.

Kari Larsdatter
in the U.S., Evangelical Lutheran Church of America, Records, 1875-1940
Name: Kari Larsdatter
Event Type: burial
Death Date: 1880
Burial Date: 3 Oct 1880
Church Name: Long Lake Lutheran
Church Location: Wetonwen, Minnesota

The document I saw linked to Ancestry was the Long Lake church record book I believe. The older sister Mari was confirmed at this same church in 1888. Sigurd was confirmed in St. Olaf but on page 9 Jane mentioned that the same pastor served three congregations, Long Lake, St. Olaf, and St. James. So, it seems very plausible. I am inclined to add this to my tree information with a note that I am looking for additional verification. What are your thoughts?

I'd add to tree with note, as you say. Likely this is your Kari. Little Kari was born Dec 1877, fits for age, name fits, place fits. A second indication is that little Kari is missing in 1885 census.
