Description: Birth: Corvallis, Ravalli County, Montana, USA
ADDED ",USA"
wikipedia sez, Corvallis is an unincorporated community in Ravalli County, Montana, United States. Corvallis, Montana, was named by settlers who hailed from Corvallis, Oregon.
The key part of this information is after MONTANA.
The Territory of Montana was an organized incorporated territory of the United States that existed from 26 May 1864, until 08 Nov 1889, when it was admitted as the 41st state in the Union as the State of Montana.
According to the information about Lillian, Montana existed as part of the USA, for 61 years before Lillian was born.

Description: Died: Sebastopol, Russia (traditional)
or
Died: Sevastopol, Russia
wikipedia sez, "Sevastopol was founded in June 1783 as a base for a naval squadron under the name Akhtiar (White Cliff), by Rear Admiral Thomas Mackenzie, a native Scot in Russian service; soon after Russia annexed the Crimean Khanate."
Also;
"German forces were forced to use railway artillery and specialized heavy mortars to destroy Sevastopol's extremely heavy fortifications, such as the Maxim Gorky naval battery. After fierce fighting, which lasted for 250 days, the supposedly untakable fortress city finally fell to Axis forces in July 1942."
In conclusion I ask, If this place was in Russian hands until about a month after Friedrich died, how come is the place name (Sewastopol) in Deutsch?
