General Notes: Husband - David Minis


His earliest schooling was received in Butler County, Pennsylvania; he also attended school in Economy township, where he lived with an elder brother on a farm. Before arriv­ing at his majority he went to Pittsburgh and worked in the woolen mills for several years; then engaged as collector for a book firm, and afterward embarked in mercantile business in Pittsburgh. In 1825 he moved to Beaver, PA, and established a general country store, which he carried on until past middle life. He then bought a farm and made agriculture the business of his remaining life.
