Birth29 May 1870 Minnie Lee Ryburn was born on 29 May 1870 in Tennessee or Virginia.3,4,2,5,6,7 
Childhood Minnie was raised in Tennessee, living first in Sullivan County and then in Unicoi County.4,2 
26 May 1886  A few days shy of her 16th birthday Minnie and W.B. Clark applied for a marriage license in Unicoi County. However there is no record of the license having been returned so it is not known at this time if they actually married.8 
Marriagecirca 1894 She married Fulton W. Garrison circa 1894.5 
Cens-19008 Jun 1900 Fulton was originally from North Carolina and the couple appear to have settled there after their marriage. In 1900 they were living at 72 Depot Street in Ashville, North Carolina. Fulton's sister was living with them as well; there were no children listed in the household.9 
Cens-192026 Jan 1920 Sometime between 1900 and 1920 Minnie and Fulton left North Carolina and headed west. In January 1920 they were living in Orofino, Clearwater County, Idaho, with their 19 year old son, "L. Lyall". Fulton's occupation is difficult to read, but it appears that he was a carpenter. However, in the column for "industry or business" it appears to read "county sheriff". Lyall was working as a clerk in a drug store.6 
Death2 Jun 1923 Minnie died on 2 Jun 1923 in Orofino, Clearwater County, Idaho, at age 53.7
