General Notes: Husband - Joseph Exley Minor

---

His early years were passed in Elk County, Pennsylvania, and there he attended public school. His first work was as a woodsman and he followed this occupation for several years, working at Instanter, Pennsylvania, with J. H. McEwen & Company, and in West Virginia. In West Virginia he operated a stationary engine. In 1902 he returned to Elk County and settled at Ridgway, which was then his home, and during that time he was employed as engineer by the Ridgway Dynamo and Engine Company.
He was a member of Elk Lodge, No. 237, Free and Accepted Masons, and of Lodge No. 969, Independent Order of Odd Fellows; in the latter he passed all chairs. Mr. Minor was a Republican, and he was several times delegate to county conventions. Three times each he served as judge of election and as inspector of election at Ridgway. Both he and his wife were members of the Disciples church.
