  Notes	Elkin MINTER was always proud of her MINTER heritage, and took pride in knowing as many of the 'clan' as possible. She recalled times when she was a small child that her father, Emmitt B. MINTER, took her with him as he circulated around the County, and she got to meet - and get to know - a lot of kin folk. She was ambitious, and she worked and attended school until she obtained high degrees from college. She taught school at the elementary level for a couple of years; taught Home Management at El Paso, Texas, for 17 years; after which time she went to Purdue University and attended there, and became a Home Management Specialist; and she taught that specialty until she retired.Then later, she came out of retirement, and joined the staff at the University of Alabama, Tuscaloosa, and taught Home Management for five years before she retired last. She bought a home at Bryan, Texas, near some of her siblings and their families. In her later years, she sold her home and moved to a managed care high rise facility at Bryan, where she could live close to her sister, Mrs. Doris Stewart. She passed on to the "Sweet By And By" on 26 Aug, 1996, at the age of 86, after a valiant fight with adversity that plagued her during the last few years of her life. Sister Doris steadfastly stood by Elkin in the last years, ministering to her and comforting her and inspiring her, in spite of the fact that Doris was sufferring much of that time from a grave illness, herself. Elkin will be missed by all who knew her. We say, "Adieu, dear cousin, and until we meet again".
