Minnie`s father was born in Amots Bruk, Ockelbo Socken, Sweden. Her mother was born in Boonville, Missouri. Minnie`s grandfather came over from Sweden following the death of his wife, and he emigrated from Sweden with his five sons (William being the youngest at age eleven). Following her marriage to George Purchase, they had eleven children - all of whom were born in Pettis County, Missouri. She had her first child at age 19 and her last child was born when she was 39 years old. At age 49, she left Missouri as the Depression forced the family to move to the Yakima Valley (WA) for a fresh start. Once established they purchased a farm house and 20 acres near Zillah, WA where they lived their final years.
