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 Ada Dunkle. Warren, who was the youngest son of Nicholson and Matilda, came to Butler and stayed with Mother and I while attending Butler Business College until a fire disrupted the school. The Dunkle family bought the Rumbarger house (the village mansion) in Craigsville, having moved there from Clarion County. Warren bought the Craigsville store and I occasionally met him over the years while staying at the Younkins cottage on the old home farm."

He was born and raised in the house at left. In 1900 the five people in the picture lived there: Joseph, his parents, and his surviving brother and sister. He was born after diphtheria and scarlet fever killed his four older siblings. He "filled the gap" that their deaths had left, according to his sister. It must be hoped that he brought some joy and happiness, too.
He married Ada Dunkle October 4, 1905. In 1910 they and their two children lived in West Franklin Township. They owned their home, mortgage free. He was a merchant, selling general merchandise.
In 1920 he and Ada and their six children lived on a farm on Slate Lick Road, south of Worthington. They owned their home, mortgage free.
By 1930 their last child had been born and their daughter Ruth was married. They owned their home, which was valued at $7000.
In 1940 the household consisted of Joseph and Ada, their grandson Warren Greene, their daughter Anna and her husband Warren Graham, and their son Carl. Their home was only valued at $4290 after the Great Depression. Warren Graham was a laborer in the lime works, with an income of $600 in 1939.
In 1950 he and his wife lived in a house in Fenelton, PA.
