In most records, her name is spelled Minnie. She was the daughter of David and Florinda Alice (Curry) Bryant. David was the son of David and Sarah (Grider) Bryant.
On June 28, 1880, when census was taken for District 2 of White Oak, Adair County for the family of David Bryant, Jr., they were listed as: David, age 27; Florinda A, wife, age 30; and Minne, age 7 months, born October.
By the 26th of June 1900, Minnie had been married to Lewis Rooks for 3 years and had two children. Both Minnie and Lewis were born in Kentucky and so were the children. They were listed in the White Oak district census as: Lewis S, head, born May 1875, age 25, farmer; Minnie, wife, born October 1879, age 20, had 2 children and both living; Jordon, son, born January 1898, age 2; and Bertha M, daughter, born February 1899, age 1.
On the 19th day of April 1910, Minnie and her family was again recorded in the census record. However, since the last record was made, Bertha had died. They were listed as: Lewis, head, age 34, married 13 years; Minnie, age 30, married 13 years, had 6 children but only 5 living; Jordan, son, age 12; Ester, son, age 8; Ida A, daughter, age 6; Irvin, son, age 4; and Leslie, son, age 2.

On April 18, 1930, the family was still in the White Oak voting district. By then most of their children had moved out and started families of their own. Whoever gave the answers to the census taker was obviously guessing at the ages as Minnie had aged 18 years and her husband had aged 16 years in the previous 10 years. The age at marriage was given as 18 for Minnie and 21 for Lewis. That would have been close to accurate knowing that they had been married for three years when the 1900 census was taken. Still living at home with their ages stated low were: Ester, age 26; Leslie, age 19; and Lillie, age 14 (whose age was correct). Also in 1930, they lived next door to Lander Bryant for whom this cemetery is named.
