As of October 28, 2017, have not been able to connect Andrew O Fauske to any other Fauske in the area. There are several Fauske's at the nearby First James River (East Cemetery) and also several more in Brandon, SD. Per the headstone, Andrew died at Age 33 which greatly limits his presence in census records of which, none have been found.
From the WPA list dated January 1941, DOD = 1900 at Age 33. This equates to DOB = 1867 which was entered above on Feb 10, 2015.
Although the WPA list dated Jan 1941 has "Andrew Fanske", the headstone is clear that the spelling should be "Fauske" so the name on this memorial has been modified to "Andrew O Fauske".
