  1. Her name is more likely to be Alvilde - much like my grandmothers name, Alvhild.

  2. Could this be your person? Check out this fairly extensive entry at Find A Grave. Also, there is a family tree for this family on Ancestry.com, if you are a subscriber there.

  3. I think this is "her". As a young girl she lived in Mower county, which only a short distance away from Northwood, Iowa.
