Miscellany: Family
In Los Angeles, a fair-sized mob gathered to celebrate the 75th birthday next month of "Grandma Ellen" Minkler. Present were Son Ray and eight grandchildren, Son J. Frank and eleven, Son George and three. Daughter Bessie and ten, childless Daughter Elsie Pearl, all the husbands and wives except childless Daughter Elsie Pearl's husband, 19 of the grandchildren's children. Total: 77. Grandson Ross Minkler, pastor of the Church of God of Los Angeles, has 100 kinsmen in his congregation. There has been but one death in Grandma Ellen's family in 26 years. That was her husband Abner, schoolteacher, farmer and sire.
