Listed as Hellene in 1870 Fillmore County census, Lina Peterson in 1880 census, and then gone. But her mother's 1900 census listing says that all six of her children are still alive. Where was Lina, Lena, Hellene Peterson in 1900? Was she married? Who was her husband? Where did they live? Did she have any children?

Lena's parents were Hans Peterson (b. 1827 in Norway) and Berthe (Vaerhaug) Peterson (b. 1830 in Norway. Hans died, I think before Lena was born and her mother remarried Knud Knudson (spelling varies a lot - could also be Knut Knutson). Berthe died in 1914. Lena had two brothers, Peter and Andrew.
