Wilhelmina "Minnie" (ZILIUS) HALL is my great grandmother. My research indicates that she always went by "Minnie" - I only discovered her real name on several of her daughter's obituaries.
She was born in Rottweil, Wurttemberg, Germany. Her father was Johann ZILIVY(1820).
Her name in Germany was "ZILIVY" which almost certainly corresponds to the Slovak name "ZILAVY." (Slovak for "vein"). She changed her name to the German name "ZILIUS" when she emigrated to the United States in January of 1872.
She had a sister Xaveria (ZILIUS) BLEICHER (1849-1906) who spent her adulthood in Altoona, Pennsylvania. She had a brother Jacob ZILIUS (1843-1922) who spent his adulthood in Huntingdon, Pennsylvania.
Minnie spent her entire adult life in Huntingdon, PA. She was united in marriage to Jacob HALL on January 9, 1873, in Huntingdon. They had twelve children:
Child 1 Margaret Mae "Maggie" (HALL) GOODMAN Born 27 Aug 1873 Died 23 Dec 1962
