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 Edith Fullerton. They live on the Carr Farm near his brother, Dee. He was in World War I and saw action in France and Russia."
----------------------------
In 1900 he and his parents and seven siblings lived on the old Minteer farm in West Franklin Township, no doubt in their new home near his paternal grandparents. His brother Samuel worked as a farm laborer.
In 1910 he and his parents and six siblings lived there. Jessie worked as a dressmaker at home, and Sarah and Effie were teachers in the common school. Also living with them was her maternal grandmother, and a recently orphaned cousin, Nellie Welton, her mother's sister Mary's youngest child.
In 1920 he and his parents and four siblings--Jessie, Effie, Harvey, and Cora--and their cousin Nellie Welton still lived there. Jessie was still making dresses at home, Effie was a public school teacher, and he and Harvey worked as laborers in the limestone mine.
In 1930 he and his wife lived in a place they were renting for five dollars a month in West Franklin Township. They had a radio. He worked as a shovel operator in the limestone mine.
In 1940 he and his wife lived in a house in Craigsville, PA. They owned their home, which was valued at $1800. He worked as a shovel engineer at the lime works, and in 1939 had an income of $1040 for 26 weeks of work.
In 1950 he and Edythe lived on a farm on Township Road 300 north of Buffalo Creek Road in West Franklin Township.
