Biography

Martha married Austin Moore Pryor in 1877 in Clinton, Missouri.^[1]

Note: Munson is in her name on marriage record. Have not found that elsewhere - wonder if possibly a previous married name??? Also interesting that she goes by Minerva, not Martha. Minerva Beck Pryor is my mother's maternal grandmother.

I never met her as she passed away many years before I was born. Minerva was born in Holt County, Missouri. She married Austin Moore Pryor in 1877 in Clinton County, Missouri. She and her daughter, Bertha, were very close and I believe they began living together when Bertha was widowed at age 31.
