Darn if the family of the ebullient and feisty Minerva Mehuron didn't move away when she was very young.  It would have been fun following her life!  This picture was not taken in Table Rock -- but she was born here, so we'll claim her!  Minerva was born in Table Rock in 1883 and died in Texas in 1959; it was shared on Ancestry by "mljonestx66."  Some trusty historical society members, including Larry Layden & Kim Vrtiska, scrutinized the picture and concluded that she was working as a wallpaper hanger -- she has large shears in the pocket of her trousers, and a wallpaper brush at her waist.  And what a smile!  It doesn't take much to see that twinkle in her eye, either!  But the colorized blue shoes?  No idea!!!!  There must be a story there, but we'll probably never know it.
