Description

Tintype of Milton Minor [born circa 1836 - died between 1870 and 1880] with one of his two wives. Milton Minor was twice married. His first wife was Mary Jane (Rose) Minor [1838-1871] - daughter of Elisha Rose and Elizabeth Moreland - who died of consumption in Monongalia County, West Virginia, one month after giving birth to her youngest child. His second wife was Mary (Geho) Minor [1832-1913] - daughter of Adam Geho and Zibiah Garrison - who was widowed and raising her stepdaughter in the 1880 Census of Wayne Township, Greene County, Pennsylvania. Since the photo album in which this image appears originally belonged to Zibiah (Garrison) Geho, it seems very likely that the woman pictured is Mary (Geho) Minor, but additional photographs are needed for comparison. Handwritten inscription on album page reads, "Mary Minor / Milt Minor." Original, no photographer listed.

Notes

Geho Album 01 originally belonged to Zibiah (Garrison) Geho [1807-1898] - wife of Adam Geho, daughter of Benjamin Garrison. The album includes pictures of Zibiah's children and grandchildren, as well as the family of her sister, Sophia (Garrison) Campbell. Nearly all images are identified and have been maintained in original order. Most album captions were provided by George Lindsey Cole [1897-1987], grandson of George Cole [1844-1908] and Elizabeth (Geho) Cole [1848-1920], great-grandson of Adam Geho [1804-1871] and Zibiah (Garrison) Geho [1807-1898]. George Lindsey Cole [1897-1987] passed the album to his friend Kay Hibbs, who gave it to local historian Matt W. Cumberledge. Matt owned and shared the album with the Greene Connections: Greene County, Pennsylvania Archives Project in 2025.
