His wife was the former Clara Helen Gordon, apparently a Minnesota native. Both of them are <a href="https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/92862090" rel="nofollow">buried in the Ada cemetery</a> in Norman County.<br /><br />I couldn't find any hints to help figure out who Alma Lee was, other than some census records showing a young Alma Lee (born around 1901) living with her parents Gilbert and Karen in another township in the same county.<br /><br />Does that seem like the right time frame? There is an older Alma Lee in the same county, but much before that date. Researching a surname like Lee is a challenge, even in such a small town like Ada at that time period.
