I am researching the Mitson family and thought you might be interested in these grave sights I recently visited:

Elliota Cemetary, Canton, Fillmore Co., Minnesota
Esther S. Mitson William B. Mitson
1849 - 1914 1847-1912

I was wondering if you have any information that may verify that the B in William's middle name might stand for Bowman. I would greatly appreciate any information you may have.
Thank you.
Elizabeth L. Young
