Her maiden name was Caborn, who being the oldest child of Reuben and Evaline Caborn. Her mother is still living and resides at Greenville. Four sisters survive her.

Soon after the Universalist Church was organized in Mt. Vernon, Mrs. Minor united with it, and to the Church of her choice was ever loyal. But her real kingdom was her home, in which she was ever a faithful wife, and uniformly a kind and sacrificing mother.
