Minnie Carson was born 27 February 1878 in Upper Lake, Lake County, California. Her parents were Delilah Anderson of Indiana and J.W. Carson of Illinois.
According to newspaper accounts, Minnie's mother had a chronic illness and she had been her primary caregiver. Reportedly Minnie had become despondent over her mother's illness and continued needs, and she felt that solace would only come by removing herself from this earthly plane.
On 22 February 1906, Minnie elected to take poison that was intended for the gophers around the yard. Making matters worse, her family had to sit and watch her suffer, as there was nothing they could do.
Minnie did not know that the pain and suffering she witnessed and experienced both in herself and her mother, was only temporary in the grand scheme of things, and brighter days awaited her.
It is the hope of all those who loved her; and the author of this short sketch, that she ultimately found the peace and solace she was yearning for.
On 25 February 1906, Minnie was interred at the Upper Lake Cemetery.
