I remember Mom (Adele H.) talking about "Aunt Minerva". Apparently, she was almost more like an older sister to Grandma Ralph (Marva) than an aunt. They were only 6 years apart.
Aunt Minerva seemed like a benevolent fairy aunt when I was a child, even though I have no memory of ever meeting her. There was a huge chest that magically appeared in the play room for a time, supposedly from her. Inside was a furry black neck wrap (boa?) with a clip like a jaw that we loved to play with. Sadly, the trunk of treasures "disappeared" all too soon.
