    • Could this marriage have actually been in 1882? Lorraine Smith Benkelman cites a letter written from Portage, Wisconsin, on August 13, 1882, from Minnie to her cousin G. A. Striffler. She announced she was to be married on August 17. It is more likely that Lorraine mistranscribed the year of the letter, as Minnie was only 15 in 1882.

      BonnieMargaret Jacobs writes that Thomas Edwards was "of Baraboo" and that after their marriage the young couple lived in that town, where Thomas worked as a contractor-carpenter. Minnie died of consumption when her daughters were still young, and as a result they were carried for by relatives of their fathers in Baraboo during remainder of their childhood. They later moved back to Portage, where they were married.
