Biography

Minerva was born in 1879 and was the third born daughter of Alfred Yarborough and Cotna Young.

She grew up with her sisters and parents in Logan County, Arkansas.[1]

At 18 years old on August 1, 1897 Minerva married G G Acuff.[2][3] Find a Grave lists 6 children that may have belonged to Minerva and GG. At some point the family moved from Arkansas to Texas.

Minerva passed away on September 2, 1960 in Andrews, Texas from a stroke.[4][5] She was laid to rest in the Evergreen Cemetery in Ranger, Eastland County, Texas.[6]
