Personal Notes:
Great Aunt Mintie Whinery could be counted on to bring her banana pudding to a family get-together. She lived with her mother, our Great Grandmother Deborah (Heacock) Whinery until Deborah's death. She lived alone, never marrying, in the family home near Lincolnville IN. Aunt Mintie loved family gatherings because she rarely had visitors. I was always touch by her loneliness as she would follow our car down the lane, and to the gate, talking all the way as my family would leave after a visit. As a kid I thought loneliness would be just terrible and felt sorry for her. She was Grandma Josephine (Whinery) Hummer's sister.
