Alfred Mason Minerd (1885-1976), son of Charles A. and Sarah (Kincell) Minerd, lived in Wheeler and Uniontown, Fayette County, PA. With his horse and wagon, Alfred helped deliver goods for a store kept by his mother. The Minerds always included a free bar of homemade soap with a large order. "Cleaniness is next to Godliness," was one of his mother's favorite sayings. Alfred married Alice Alderson (1891-1941) and, after her death, Murrell Goff Ruggles (1898-1978). In later years he resided in Preston County, WV. Alfred's father was among the first known inventors in the family to receive a U.S. patent, and also one of the first known cousins to own his own coal company.
