Biography
Elsie was born to German immigrants, Carl (first-generation migrant) and Helene Brauer (first-generation American) on January 9, 1892 in Muldoon, Fayette County, Texas, USA.
"Minnum", as she was affectionately known, was famous for her sweet disposition, alcohol back rubs (to cool one off in the hot Rio Grande Valley summers), and for "toodle-y-dooing" grandchildren on her knee.
In her later years she suffered from cerebrovascular disease with a number of strokes. She eventually died of one on March 31, 1983 in San Benito, Texas. She was 91.
