  Notes	From findagrave.com, Jan 2015: R. MINTER is a native of Illinois, born in Brown County of that state, September 22, 1849. He is a son of Richard W. and Mary A. (Doye) Minter; was married January 6, 1881, to Miss Dosha Bradshaw, daughter of Lewis and Fannie Bradshaw, near Newark, Missouri. They have two children: Fannie Lou, born August 5, 1884; Roberta, February 15, 1888. Fannie Lou is the wife of Dr. F. O. Norton, Dean of Liberal Arts College, Drake University, Des Moines. Iowa. Mr. Minter and family moved to Kirksville, Missouri, November 19, 1905. Roberta is a teacher in Kirksville Public Schools. Richard W. Minter, father of the subject of this sketch, was a Virginian, born in Henry County of that state in 1822. In his westward sojourning he tarried for a brief time in Mississippi, Tennessee, finally purchasing a home near the old town of Ripley, Brown County, Illinois, from which place he moved to Knox County, Missouri, in 1854, purchasing a new home near the present village of Locust Hill. Owing to extreme disturbances and local complications during the Civil War he left Knox County in 1864, moving to Canada, where he died September 8, 1866. Six years later Mr. Minter returned to Missouri, settling in Lewistown, Lewis County. Here he taught school, serving four years as County School Commissioner. In 1881, soon after his marriage, he moved to La Balle [sic], Missouri, taking charge of the public schools as principal, later engaging in mercantile pursuits; then forming a partnership in loans, real estate and insurance, with E. A. Dowell, who was later State Senator from Twelfth District. Mr. Minter has been a resident of Kirksville since 1905, and was for several years engaged in newspaper work as editor of The Kirksville Democrat. He is now in real estate, insurance and Notary work, in which his business he is active and successful, as a member of the firm of Minter and Winn.
