"Anna 'Grace' Miner was a direct descendent of Thomas Minor (1608-1690) through Thomas' son Ephraim (1642-1724). She was known as Grace, preferring it to Anna. Grace married Charles Henry Miner (1873-1950) in 1890. Charles was also a direct descendent of Thomas through another son, Manassah (1647-1728). Charles and Grace had one child, Bernice Charlene Miner (1905-1991), who is the mother of the donor (Ken Main). Grace passed at age 51 due to cancer. Her obituary states, "Mrs. Miner was of a quiet and pleasing disposition and beloved by all that knew her."
