Research Notes
These also seem to be sources for this person. Her name, approximate age, and parents’ names match what this profile says in this death certificate:
Washington Death Certificates, 1907-1960," database, FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:NQMP-G1Q : 10 March 2018), Elizabeth Gessele, 18 May 1948; citing Snohomish, Snohomish, Washington, reference , Bureau of Vital Statistics, Olympia; FHL microfilm 2,032,686.
If the death certificate is a correct source for her, then these sources, showing her with the husband shown in the death certificate, are also most likely correct sources for her:
"United States Census, 1930," database with images, FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:XKVX-LK3 : accessed 23 May 2021), Elizabeth Gessele in household of Jacob B Gessele, Township 145, Sheridan, North Dakota, United States; citing enumeration district (ED) ED 18, sheet 2A, line 3, family 20, NARA microfilm publication T626 (Washington D.C.: National Archives and Records Administration, 2002), roll 1742; FHL microfilm 2,341,476.
"United States Census, 1940," database with images, FamilySearch (https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:KM95-9NG : 5 January 2021), Elizabeth Gessele in household of Jacob C Gessele, Township 145 Range 75, Sheridan, North Dakota, United States; citing enumeration district (ED) 42-12, sheet 1A, line 6, family 2, Sixteenth Census of the United States, 1940, NARA digital publication T627. Records of the Bureau of the Census, 1790 - 2007, RG 29. Washington, D.C.: National Archives and Records Administration, 2012, roll 3013.
All these censuses, including the one in ‘sources’ section, where she’s in her parents’ house, show her birthplace as Russia. I cannot find a standardized place name for that in 1882, when she was born.
