d/o Napolean B Holt and Sarah Ann White who married 09 Feb 1879 in Webster Co., MO. She and her husband Harry lived in a small home and garden on Ashworth Avenue in Greenlake. I would love to talk with her now, I am sure I would have been able to better equipped to Identify her grandfather Silas White of Webster Co., MO. Minnie, born 30 Jun 1889 in Bolivar, Polk Co., MO had five sisters, Miranda, Myrtle, Maude, Mable and "Thet" and one brother, George Newton Holt, born in six different cities and six different counties in Missouri.
Her father Napoleon was a carpenter and traveled for work. In the 7 censuses he lived through, he is found in 6 different counties all but the last in Missouri. Sometime before 1910 the Holts settled in Pineville, MO. Minnie met Harry Chenoweth where he worked in a café in Rocky Comfort, MO. That meeting eventually led to Minnie traveling across the country to Seattle, WA and a wedding at the YWCA, Minnie and Harry took a boat honeymoon to Tacoma and shortly settled in Hobart, WA, a logging town in the Cascade foothills. Her two children were born there. I know that in my mother's case the doctor from Renton in a horse and buggy never reached them in time for the delivery. We often forget how slow and hard most travel was back then. From there they moved to Alpine, and later Seattle. Minnie was a excellent seamstress, making quilts and even her daugther's wedding gown. She kept current with her sisters, people wrote letters then. In greenlake she had a large garden one part flowers, one part vegetables with a chickem coup. She lived through a lot of things, including breast cancer, outliving all her siblings.
Minnie died in the Foss House in Seattle, where she spent her last years. out living her daughter, Louise, who was also living there at the time:
