Mrs. Fannie Minear, widow of the late County Auditor A. W. S. Minear, died Sunday at the home of her daughter, Mrs. C. B. Humphrey in New York City, where she had gone only a few days ago.
The funeral party arrived from New York at noon today and the body of Mrs. Minear was taken to the family home, 334 East State street. Mrs. Minear had been in failing health for the past year or more and death resulted from a severe illness of several weeks.
She was born April 21, 1840 [sic] at the old Warren homestead in Canaan township at Canaanville, being the youngest child of the late N. O. and Hannah Dewey Warren, both of pioneer Athens county stock. She was married April 11, 1860 to Captain Minear, who went at once into the civil war. Learning that her husband had been terribly wounded at the battle of Stone River, this young bride managed to slip thru the rebel lines where she nursed Captain Minear back to health and also nursed many other wounded union soldiers. Altho a mere girl, she became a prominent figure in Athens county in the dark days of the war of the rebellion. Captain Minear died May 15, 1886. Two children are left: Mrs. C. B. Humphrey of New York and Mrs. W. W. McFarland, of Pittsburg. Three grandchildren are also left. One brother, Joseph Warren, of Denver, Ind., is also left, the last of the original Warren family. He will come for the funeral.
Mrs. Minear was in many ways a remarkable woman - a woman of strong convictions and pleasing personality. She was a great lover of her flowers, having over 200 varieties of roses. Altho of late years she spent the winters with her children, she always returned to her East State street home in time to care for her roses.
Funeral services will be held at 3 o'clock Tuesday afternoon at the family home. Burial will be made in the West Union street cemetery in charge of Dr. McGurk, of the first M. E. church. Mrs. Minear had for years been a member of this church.
