The wife of Heinrich Willems, she died in childbirth. The register says, "Germans from Russia." The surname is sometimes anglicized to Williams.
Cottonwood County death records also lists her unnamed stillborn son. He is probably buried with her.

Elisabeth Willems
I believe that Elisabeth was the daughter of Anna Friesen Warkentin from her first marriage. According to a family history written in the late 80's, when she married Rev. Heinrich Warkentin, she had two children, Gerhard and Elisabeth. He died of yellow plague in the Molotschna Colony in South Russia, but made her promise to follow through with their plans to emigrate, which she did in 1876, settling in Mountain Lake. In Mountain Lake, she married Johann Balzer in 1877 and died in 1887. Because Friesen was her married name of her first husband, I have encountered a genealogy "brick wall" in finding her maiden name and names of her parents. If you have any suggestions, I would welcome them. ([email protected]) Thank you!
