Obituary - Mrs. Minerva Foreman
Again death has visited the little town of Athelstan, and taken one of its oldest citizens, Mrs. Minerva Foreman.
Minerva Carter, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Benjamin Carter, was born November 4, 1868 in Union county, Iowa, and died at Athelstan, Iowa, May 9, 1945, at the age of 76 years, 6 months and 5 days.
On April 27, 1886, she was married to Winfield Scott Jenkins. To them six children were born: Stella, who died July 1, 1902, at the age of fifteen years; Johnny, who died August 5, 1903; Marion Jenkins and Calvin Jenkins of Athelstan, William [Noel] Jenkins who is in service somewhere in the South Pacific, and Mrs. Leota McCall of Bedford. Mr. Jenkins died Sept. 13, 1931.
Surviving with the four children are two grandchildren, Kathleen Jenkins and Ralph Jenkins, to whom she was greatly devoted.
She also leaves two brothers, Isaac Carter of Bedford and Harvey Carter of Clinton, Missouri.
She was married to E. [llsworth] G. Foreman at Bedford in 1937. He preceded her in death the same year.
She united with the Methodist church when a girl and lived a good Christian life. She was always ready and willing to help in any way. She was always a friend to the children of the town and will be greatly missed by all.
