"Bob" Minard Forrest Edwin "Bob" Minard was born on June 14, 1901 in Hawleyville, Page County, IA, the son of Albert Everett and Mary Ellen (Knepple) Minard. As a young bachelor, in 1930, he earned a living as a carpenter's laborer in Clarinda and dwelled with his mother. On Jan. 12, 1931, when he was age 30, Bob married 20-year-old Veleda Green (1911-2000), in a ceremony held at Red Oak, Montgomery County, IA. Justice of the peace F.P. Greenlee officiated. She was the daughter of Sheridan and Edith (Herriman) Green, and at the time of marriage was a resident of New Market, Taylor County, IA. They produced an only son, Monte Minard, born in 1937. Federal census records show that in 1935, Bob and Veleda dwelled in New Market (IA), but by 1940 had relocated to Nebaska Township, Page County. His carpentry work and all types of odd jobs continued to generate income for the family in 1940. In 1956, when Bob was age 55, he moved to Kansas, settling in Atchison, Atchison County. While in Atchison, "he was employed as a mechanic at Berridge Garage," said the newspaper. "He later worked at Herdman and Sons Construction as a mechanic, retiring in the mid-1960s. He enjoyed working in the garden. Bob also was a talented banjo player. Apparently, at one time, he played in a local combo with two fiddlers and perhaps a piano player. He was photographed with the group, standing at far right. Obituary, 1990 As his health declined, Bob was admitted to Atchison Medicalodge. There, he passed away at the age of 88 on March 4, 1990. He was laid to rest in at Sunset Memory Gardens in Atchison. At the time of his death, he was survived by two grandchildren and six great-grandchildren. Veleda, who was 10 years younger than Bob, outlived him by a decade. She died at age 88, just two days into the new millennium, on Jan. 2, 2000.
