Minnie appears in J. Howard Binns' book "Meet the Edgertons" (p. 70, entry A-(11)123 for her mother, Hannah Alice (Dailey) Oden). Edgerton was her maternal grandmother's maiden name [Rachel Jane (Edgerton) Dailey, 1849-1936].

The entry reads "Grace Oden (Minnie) b 4-5-1902 m Harley (Bud) Dailey." That is all there is, and there is no individual entry for Minnie.

While I respect Mr. Binns and the huge amount of time and effort he put into "Meet the Edgertons," it now seems clear to me that "Grace" is an error. I've now seen 3 censuses, her Social Security Death Index record, her birth record, and her marriage record. Every one indicates her name was Minnie, Minnie D, or Minnie Delight. "Grace" is nowhere to be found except for Mr. Binns' book.

I had changed this page to show Grace, based on the book, but have now changed it back.

Minnie and Bud Dailey had three other children of whom I am aware. None of them are yet listed on Find a Grave. They are:

Maxine Dailey (19 Apr 1923-)
Gene Dailey (1931-)
Dwight J. Dailey (1932-)

Minnie and Bud were married 24 Aug 1921 in Grant County, Indiana.

The place of death shown is assumed from her last residence, as shown on the Soc. Sec. Death Index record.
