bullet  General Notes:

Finding the maiden name of Minnie was difficult. There seems to be no documents about her while she was married to Christopher Fast.

However, the 1920 US Census shows 6 children from her previous marriage living with her and Christopher Fast. All of those 6 children are listed with a surname of McGatlin, born in Colorado or Idaho. Searching the birth records of these children shows one of her sons, Virgil Milton McGatlin, b. 4 May 1902 in Wardner, Shoshone County, Idaho with the father listed as Andrew James McGatlin and the mother as Minnie May Cox.
