Event Notes Note (1) Obituary of Minnie Gaston Leeson states she was born Oct 24 1895 and died Oct 5 1979 at age 83, which is mathematically correct. But both her birth record and SSDI give her birth as Oct 24 1894, as does her marriage record and the Guy Tetrick family information sheet she filled out herself in 1931. Her obituary also incorrectly identifies her parents as Eliza (should be Eli) Gaston and Nancy (should be Cassa) Hart.
