Minerva's maiden name is a bit of a mystery, it has been listed as Thorpe, Parker and Dietz in various places. In her obituary it is listed as Parker (Jan. 21 & Jan 24 1918) In obituaries of her sons Oscar (1952), Harry (1958) & Fred (1973) it is listed as Dietz. No mention in obituary of husband Isaac and son Andrew.
Update Feb 2021: References to Minerva being the daughter of a Thomas Parker & Elizabeth Deitz are unlikely. In the 1870 census Thomas is 79, Elizabeth 69 & Minerva is 14. If there is any truth to this its more likely her grandparents.
