  Axel Youngren is reported in a series of city directories in Pueblo, Colorado from 1903.  From the first record we find in 1903.  Even though Axel married Anna in 1905, until 1911, Axel was listed alone.  But then from the 1913 edition, Anna is consistently reported as his wife.

  I found that Anna's memorial on Find a Grave had the date of burial for the date of death, sicne the burial record had date of burial but no other dates.  When I submitted the date of death from other records, the memorial creator corrected the date of death on the memorial but did not retain the date of burial.  Death was 6 March 1933 and burial was 10 March, as indicated on the original information we have included below.
