A careful reading of her gravestone has her birth on 17 May 1893 and death on 30 May 1913 with married surname Kriz.
The MN marriage index has Joseph Kris and Antonia Backowski married on 25 Jun 1912 in Morrison County.
The Little Falls Herald weekly newspaper of Friday, 28 Jun 2012, describes the wedding of Tena Backowski and John (actually Joseph) Kriz of Todd County. "The wedding was at Polish Catholic Church in Flensburg last Tuesday morning (25 Jun 1912) and the reception was held at bride's mother's home. Anton and Frank, brothers of the bride, were part of the wedding party. The couple will live at groom's farm in Todd County" (and much more detail).
Available census data listed this individual as Tena or Lena at various times but never Antonia. However, examination of census data documented that Antonia's parents were Vincent Backowski born September 1839 in Bohemia (now Czech Republic) and Antonia Jendro also born in Bohemia in January 1853. Vincent (Wenzel in Polish) was in Culdrum Township during the June 1905 MN census but not in the May 1910 Federal census and presumably died during that period. His widow is buried in the newer Flensburg Cemtery.
