Her father was a younger brother of Jane Clark, Curtis' grandfather's second wife, making her a first cousin of Curtis' aunts and uncles Eliza, William, Nancy, and Joseph.

In 1870 she lived with her parents and six brothers and sisters in Worthington, PA. Her father was a carpenter, with $2000 worth of real property and $800 worth of personal property. Her aunt and uncle, Nicholas and Eliza Clark, and seven cousins lived next door. Nicholas was also a carpenter, with $9000 worth of real property and $1600 worth of personal property.

In 1900 she and her husband and four children lived in a house on Karl Street in Pittsburgh, PA which they owned, with a mortgage. Curtis worked as an Expressman.

In 1910 she and Curtis and their five youngest children lived on a farm in Wilmington Township, Mercer County, PA that they owned, with a mortgage.

In 1920 she and her husband and five of their children lived in a house on Neshannock Avenue near North Mercer Street in New Wilmington, PA. Curtis owned the house, mortgage free, and worked as a laborer and assistant janitor. Their daughter Mary worked as a servant in a dining room, likely at Westminster College. Their oldest daughter was married, and her husband Walt and their daughter Alta were all living with them. Walt worked as a laborer in the tin mill.

In 1930 she and Curtis and their youngest child and his wife and son lived in a different house in New Wilmington. The census record gives the address as 130 Park Ave., but from the names of adjacent streets it is clear that it was 130 South Park Street. Curtis owned their home, which was valued at $7000, and they did not have a radio. He rented part of the house to their son Arthur for $20 a month. He worked as a laborer doing odd jobs and Arthur was a foreman doing bridge construction.

In 1940 she and her husband lived in the same house, which was valued at only $3500 after the Great Depression. He worked as a caretaker at a church, with an income in 1939 of $900 for 52 weeks of work. They rented part of the house to their son Arthur and his wife for ten dollars a month.

Their other child was:
John Young Minteer (1892-1980)
