Minnie Towler: was the daughter of Edward and Anna E. Rose.  She died in California and was living with her daughter at the time. 

She and her husband, Herbert, lived in Chicago, IL according to the 1900 US Census. They lived in Hyde Park Township at the time with their two children Edward and Martrianna. The census information shows that there was a servant, a coachman, and three boarders were also in the household.  Herbert's occupation was listed as "Lubricant Manager," but it's unclear what that might mean. 

Later census info does not list an occupation.  Martrianna was later listed as a "Music Teacher" at home and Edward was listed as an "Auto Salesman."  Herbert died in 1920.  Minnie and her children moved to California sometime after that.  Was this because the corporation was operating out of San Francisco?  Lettie Crafts also moved to California and Anna Durkee and Mary Elmer were also found in California.  The garnet on the Mining Claims page shows a San Francisco address for the corporation.
