2014 notes-I am using the birth and death dates given on the death certificate.

The 1900 census shows her b Feb 1892, age 8; in 1920 she is age 24 (b 1896); there are two step-children listed: Ralph Shupping (9) and Celesteen Shupping (4yrs 2mos)

The 1930 census lists her age at 34, again b 1896 and Minnie does state that her 1st m was at age 17. If she is 24 in 1920 and Ralph is 9, Ralph was b when Minnie was 15.

The 1940 census lists her at age 39 = b 1901
