Reviewer Note
This is one of the cases where someone about whom there is documentation one hundred fifty years later can be assumed notable. Robert McClenon (talk) 20:39, 31 May 2020 (UTC)
 * The most recent source is from 1914, a short obituary published at the time of his death., how does this person meet WP:GNG? – Jonesey95 (talk) 23:15, 31 May 2020 (UTC)
 * User:Jonesey95 - He is mentioned in two sources and is discussed as a contributor to the development of Minnesota in the early twentieth century. I will acknowledge that I take an inclusionist view of notability of persons who lived a hundred years or longer ago.  (Correction:  The obituary was 100 years ago, not 150.)  I am prepared to !vote Keep if the article is nominated for deletion, unless a Merge or Redirect target is identified.  Robert McClenon (talk) 04:26, 3 June 2020 (UTC)
 * I don't like the drama of XFD discussions either, so I will leave the nomination to someone else, but I don't think this should have been accepted. There is no significant coverage at all, just a couple of minor mentions of a locally known business owner. – Jonesey95 (talk) 04:30, 3 June 2020 (UTC)
 * See Acceptance of Biographies. Those are my opinions.  Robert McClenon (talk) 17:33, 28 June 2020 (UTC)
