Nels and Carrie Boe did not have a son named Edwin. The grave particulars are wrong both for the first name as well as the year of birth. Alvin Julius Boe was born in Rolling Forks Township, Pope County, MN, on 7 November 1896. One possible explanation about the name mistake is that at times his name was spelled "Elvin," "Elwin," or "Alwin," although the original Pope County birth record clearly spells his name "Alvin," and the middle names of sons Melvin (died at age 4 months) and Donald.
