Albert
Dewey Minard was born on March 11, 1898, in Hawleyville, Page County, IA,
the son of Albert Everett and Mary
Ellen (Knepple) Minard.
As he was approaching his third birthday, Albert contracted a deadly case of spinal meningitis.
Nothing could be done. Sadly, on Feb. 28, 1901, he passed away of his fatal disease.
Albert's small remains were laid to rest in the Hawleyville Cemetery.
His oval photograph portrait was preserved by the family, and passed down in the generations, so that he would not be forgotten.
