Minnie was first married to Elbert Andrews on March 2, 1914, in Schuyler County, Missouri. She married Leonard W. Bennett on September 19, 1953, in Kirksville, Missouri. At that time, she and Leonard were both residents of Bloomfield, Iowa. I think they might have been married before that and then divorced, as they are in the 1940 Census for Bloomfield, Iowa, together.
