Research

Kathy Ostvig: "A Lisa Kahlow was listed in the 1865 MN Census Index with James and Eureka. Another source for the surname is the Death Certificate for William G. Houghton of Lewiston Nez Perce, Idaho( also Ma, Washington) states mothers name as Eureka Kahlow. but father William, though william was Eurekas father unable to verify if this is the son William."; The name according to the death certificate of Edward is Eureka Miller. Another death certificate( for a William which might be the wrong william) indicated Eureka Kahlow, but I am not certain if it is correct. Eureka Miller is what Edward stated on his own death certificate. That should be the name, until I can find any other sources that might contradict or confirm. Kahlow might want to be mentioned in a note.³
