Reuben Minnich ⁴⁰⁶

  General Notes:

Reuben and Nancy lived near Covington Ohio when first married. Reuben worked some for his father-in-law on his farm and as a butcher. In 1887 they moved to Union Township, Indiana (Delware County). Rueben continued the butchering trade in Indiana. From the proceeds of Nancy's inheritance from her parents (Aaron died in 1872 and Melvina, her mother, in 1883) they purchased a farm in Union Township, Indiana (Delaware County) on the "Shideler Road"; which constitutes the border between Union and Hamilton Townships. This farm was near the intersection of Shideler Road and Schaefer Road. The Minnichs were neighbors of the Daniel F. Studebaker family, and the John and William Snider families. Sometime later Reuben and his family moved to the small farm near "Dogtown"; where his daughter Viola, her husband Russell McKinley, and their family lived for many years.

Reuben married Nancy Frances Boggs, daughter of Aaron Boggs and Melvina Hitt, on 20 Jul 1870.⁴⁰⁶ (Nancy Frances Boggs was born on 2 May 1850 in Covington, Miami, Ohio, USA,⁴⁰⁶ died on 16 Jun 1887 in Newberry Township, Miami, Ohio, USA ⁴⁰⁶ and was buried in Highland Cemetery (Covington, Miami, Ohio, USA) ⁴⁰⁶.)

Reuben next married Mary Ann "Mollie" Studebaker on 18 Oct 1888.
