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 Elizabeth Watson. Elizabeth was from the Watson and Marshall families, early settlers in the southern part of Butler County. Much is to be found about these families in the early histories of this section. She and Frank met while attending Slippery Rock Teachers College. They married soon after his graduation from Western Pennsylvania Medical School (now the University of Pittsburgh). Soon after graduation he distinguished himself as an authority in treating smallpox which was almost epidemic in several places at this time. He took charge of an isolation camp for the B & O Railroad near Foxburg, Pennsylvania. Later he was called to another camp south of Pittsburgh operated by the Pennsylvania Railroad. Previously he had begun practice in Lawrenceville, a part of Pittsburgh, but after this break he went to Butler and established a practice and a drug store in the new Lyndora section. He developed foot trouble which necessitated spending much time on soft ground so that he finally spent more time on the home farm and another they owned adjoining Worthington on the east. Lizzie kept the children in Butler to complete their education. Frank was valued as a consultant on internal medicine, skin diseases and surgery."
