Although the family legend has it that her husband Julius was stripped of a Prussian title when he married a Polish beer garden maid, and this episode forced them to come to the US in steerage with her family, she actually married Julius EWERT on 17 Oct 1891 in Cleveland, Cuyahoga, Ohio. The couple married so shortly after Julius' arrival that perhaps they had known each other in Europe. Julius is listed in the SS Weimer's manifest directly after the Obarowsky family who would be living in the house right between the couple and Julius' brother, August, in the 1900 Census. Their relationship to the Obarowskys is unknown - perhaps this was her family?
The family stopped using the EWERT name when WW 1 came as there was so much anti-German sentiment that one of her sons was having difficulty finding work. They changed their name to EVERETT by 1916. Her burial record is listed under EVERT, the phonetic pronunciation of EWERT, but there is no evidence that this family actually used this variation themselves.
Minnie, as she was universally known, had 14 known children; only one did not reach adulthood.
She died of pituitary cancer in 1938. So far, no obituary has been found for her.
