Notes for Mary "Minnie" Hannah Anderson: [My Great Grandmother]
Minnie claims to have 9 children in 1910. I believe there is one more Congdon child. Likely should be found on the 1900 census under Minnie Anderson or Minnie Congdon. Don't know name of father Congdon. Likely Howard or Walter.

Each of the local family took individual kids in to care for the orphans. They moved around between aunts, uncles and grandparents.

From a newspaper clipping: "Mrs. Minnie Orcutt, 1911 Whitesboro, announces the engagement of her daughter, Miss Gertrude Congdon, to Clyde Dillman, son of Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Dillman of Oneida. The wedding will take place in the near future."
Sometime between 1912 and 1919 she & Eli divorce or separate.
From a newspaper clipping with dates from Sprin of 1935 on the back: "Mrs. Homer Frazier's mother, Mrs. M. Orcutt, of Utica, left Friday morning for Rochester, Minn., where she is to be treated for a serious head trouble, at the Mayo brothers hospital. She was accompanied by her daughters, Lillian and Gertrude, and also her grandaughter, Marguerite Searles."
The obituary for her daughter, Marguerite, in 1956 states that her mother, "Minnie Anderson Orcutt" is living in Durhamville, which is north of the city of Oneida. This is ten miles away from Clayville(near Utica), her place of birth. At this time, I have no idea why she relocated. She may have remarried. She may have been buried there. In Marguerite & Homer's Funeral books, "Minnie O. Graf, Binghamton signs the register.
