Minnie Pickler was the daughter of Samuel and Sarah Jane Pickler. On Dec. 28, 1881 she married Elmer Trueblood. They had four children.
“Minnie D. Trueblood died of consumption at the home of her parents, near the quarry, and was buried at Salem on Thursday. She leaves a husband and four small children. Samuel Mitchell conducted the funeral ceremonies. She lived one mile west of Salem for two years.
“She united with the church four years ago, and has ever lived a true Christian life. She was patient and genial during her last sickness, saying that she was ready to go, but sorry to leave her little children. May God bless them, as they can never receive the gentle instruct of a loving mother. The funeral services were conducted by S. H. Mitchell. Many friends met to pay her the last tribute of respect.”
