Minni's mother was not married when she was born and her mother later married a Mr. Rhymes. When Minnie was about five or so her mother died and Mr. Rhymes was very mean to Minnie and the sister of Minni and her husband went with guns and took her away from him and his mother. ~~~~~~~~~ Hey again Louise I wonder if you know who the mother of Minnie and her sister Mollie was? I would like to have her in my database attached to the correct parents. I posted a note on the Coffee list so others could see that there are 3 Minnie Bells. I appreciate you speaking up and telling us that we had our Minnie Bells mixed up. Thanks again Sherry ************************************** AOL now offers free email to everyone.
