Frank's given name was Francis, but he didn't like it, nor did he ever use it.
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:
"He married Carrie McKown on Jan. 29, 1903. Frank was also a teacher and I had him in grade school as a teacher. He boarded with us so I knew him well. He was an excellent teacher and was preparing to enter Grove City College. He spent his evenings studying, often repeating his Latin aloud to fix it in his memory. The only time I saw him after that was when he was sent as a supply minister to the U.P. Church in Buena Vista, Allegheny County, Pa. He was then studying at Xenia Theological Seminary in Old Allegheny. I was teacher at Frank, Pa. and mother was living with me. When we heard who the supply preacher was to be, we asked to have him as our guest during his stay. I shall never forget his exclamation, "Aunt Sarah!" and his unbelieving look when we met him at the door because, of course, he had no idea that we were living anywhere near. It was a most delightful week-end. Frank had several churches in Ohio during his ministry and I know left a lasting impression on all with whom he ever came in contact. He always had a deep interest in medicine but remained loyal to his calling. I regret that I never knew his loyal devoted wife."
After he retired Frank started writing his Memoirs, and managed to record a vast amount of Family History information that would have been lost to us otherwise. As for his own life, he got through 1888 in great detail, and had outlines compiled for 1889-1895. It's too bad for all of us that he didn't manage to write more, because what he did write is so interesting.
---------------------
In 1870 he lived with his parents and two sisters in their house on the west side of Tapeworm Road that had been built on that part of Johnny Dumm's farm that his father had bought from his grandfather. Sam owned real property worth $1000 and personal property worth $400.
In 1880 he lived in the same place with his parents, four sisters, and brother James.
In 1900 he and his parents and four of his siblings lived in the house at 448 Fourth Avenue in Parnassus, PA--now part of New Kensington. Amanda was married and living in Marion, OH by then. They owned their home, with a mortgage. His father and sisters Eliza and Mary were school teachers, he was a seminary student, and his brother James a printer.
In 1910 he and his wife and two daughters lived in a house they were renting on Main Street in Savannah, OH. He was a Methodist clergyman.
In 1920 the four of them still lived in Savannah, in a house they were renting on South Main Street, out near the edge of town. The place two doors away was a farm. Frank was a church minister, no doubt at the same church--and they probably lived in the same house, too.
In 1930 he and Carrie and their daughter Elizabeth lived in a house on Buckeye Street near Center Street in Belle Center, OH that they were renting for $15 a month. He was a minister in the Presbyterian Church, Elizabeth was a public school teacher, and they had a radio.
In 1940 he and Carrie lived in the same place, which they were renting for $20 a month. He was a minister at the same church, and in 1939 had an income of $1110 for 52 weeks of preaching.
In 1950 he and his wife lived in a house on Torrence Street in Belle Center.
