**Clarification for #8:
Part II Q8. Woman with the same initials as #7, and who is buried in Benton Avenue Cemetery, Helena, MT. Also the name she went by according to the newspapers (a full 'alias', not a nickname)....so not "Molly"

Are Bonus Question 2 and 3 supposed to be about questions from Part II instead of I?

Are Bonus Question 2 and 3 supposed to be about questions from Part II instead of I? BQ#1 is from Part II, questtion #8 BQ#2 is from Part I, question #9 BQ#3 is from Part I, question #7
So, no these last two are not from Part II. But they do require research outside Find a Grave.
PM me if you would like a hint :-)

Solutions to bonus questions:
This is the way I found the answers to these questions, but there were other pathways, and many of you submitted answers from finding the answers at different sites.
Bonus question #1: Part II, #8. Her occupation. Answer: Belle Flynn was a Madam. Both Belle and her business partner, Lillie MaGraw are found in a booklet, Helena's Women Walking Tour, on pages 6 and 37: montanawomenshistory.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/WomensWalkingToursWeb.pdfBonus question #2: Part I, #9. Her sister-in-law's cause of death and what she was watching when she died. . Answer: Husband's sister Carolyn Campbell Newsom Pessou died in the Knickerbocker Theater collapse after the blizzard of 1922. Watching a movie called Get-Rich-Quick Wallingford.
Found at: www.findagrave.com/memorial/69842086/caroline-campbell-pessouen.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knickerbocker_stormBonus Question #3: Part I, #7. Her father's name. How and why he died. Answer: Joseph Whitford was shot and killed by James Burns who claimed Joseph was prospecting on his land. First, I found her father on Find A Grave and saw he had been shot: (identifying her father could be tricky with a number of names floating around, but using the dates and other information, it becomes clear who her father was)
This information was also submitted from a variety of genealogy sites and other newspapers.
