Minnie R Getman Horton

1930 census also shows Emma Getman (Minnie's Mother) age 75 as residing with them.

Minnie and her parents were all born in New York.  Her mother according to census was born around 1855.

Minnie was born in 1881 in New York.  She married Homer Frances Horton, who was born 1 Sep 1880 in Iowa.  They were parents of two children Jane and John.

Aunt Minnie as we called her was a very close friend of my Grandmother, who would come each year to stay 3 months or more while I was growing up.

When she was younger she taught botany at Mt. Holyoke College.  But what I remember most about her was her poetry and her pastel drawings of flowers.

Minnie passed away in 1979.
