SOURCES: Gibson County Clerk's Office, marriage of William to Minerva. 
Gibson County Health Department, births of children and death of William. 
Oak Hill Cemetery, Patoka, Gibson County, IN, tombstones of William, Minerva 
and several children. Pension file 42,610 for proof of Minerva's birth. 
Vanderburgh County Health Department for death of Bernice. Most other 
children died in Gibson County.

NOTES: I do have the obituary for Minerva but I never did find her death 
certificate. It is believed she died in Pike County, IN and the obit is 
believed to be from a newspaper in that area. She resides beside William in 
the cemetery.
