From "The Minteers As I Have Known Them" by Josephine Minteer Dickinson (1961 limited-edition private printing of 200 copies), youngest and last surviving of William Minteer and Mary Nicholson's 85 grandchildren:
"Married Hilda Margaret Steffler. He has made a name for himself in the building industry. At present he is building the Arts and Science Building at Westminster College. I hear he is very civic-minded in his home town of New Wilmington and active in all good works. They have two daughters."
Victor operated a very successful construction business in the New Wilmington area, and mentions of his various projects can be found all through the New Castle papers.
