Oral History

It has been suggested by family oral tradition that Minnie was a full-blooded Native American. However, according to text accompanying Mary Evelyn Venable family documentation, Minnie Froggett, may have been only part indian. Minnie is said to have died when her daughter, Mary Lillian Harrell, was 9 years old, which would place her death about 1894.

Hunter, it's a Death Certificate. The informant Lee Harrell or the doctor was confused or didn't really know.
  1. She is shown as Minnie Froggett on her Putnam County, Indiana marriage bond.

On Elijah Smith Harrell's birth certificate it says Minnie's maiden name is "Hoots". I don't know if this is the wrong person or if this is a typo in the certificate. http://www.sos.mo.gov/images/archives/deathcerts/1954/1954_00000925.PDF
