I'm looking for the county in which Katherine Marie Elisabeth HINTZ has her death certificate registered. She farmed in Mansfield, Freeborn Co most of her life, and later moved to Albert Lee. In the last years before she passed away, she moved back to the family farm in Mansfield. She is buried in the Mansfield Twp Cemetery. Her maiden name was SEEDORF. Born December 13, 1851 and died July 19, 1924. I've checked Freeborn Co for the record and they don't have it on file, so I'm assuming it was filed in one of the nearby counties. I'm hoping people can check the Genealogical Indexes in those areas for me. Thanks! /Tom Hintz
