Edward
Minor was born in 1885, either in Washingtonville, Columbiana County, OH or
in Sherrodsville, Carroll County, OH, the son of John
and Emma (Howell) Minor.
Edward was a coal miner, and moved to near Tuscarawas, Tuscarawas County, OH in 1915, where he resided off and on for 35 years.
He was married, but was divorced. The identify of his wife is not known.
In 1920, Edward resided with his brother Jacob Alexander Minor in Flushing Twp., Belmont County, OH. Circa 1950, he lived alone in a "one room home south of Tuscarawas," said the Free Press Standard.
Tragically, at the age of 65, Edward was caught in a fire in his house when a kerosene stove exploded. He suffered "second degree burns of the hips and legs" and died on Feb. 16, 1950 at Twin City Hospital in Dennison. His charred remains were laid to rest at Union Cemetery in Uhrichsville, Tuscarawas County, OH.
