      Minta May "Mintie" Casto Burns

      The following bio info provided by Audrey Clendenin:
      As for Minta Casto Burns, the General Index and Register of Births for Mason
      County, available through wvculture.org, and the West Virginia Births Index,
      1853-1969 gives her birth name as Minta May Casto. Also, her Mason County
      Marriage License gives her maiden name as Minta M. Casto. I'm assuming that
      her nickname was Mintie, because the 1900, 1920, 1930 and 1940 U.S. Federal
      Census records all have her listed as Mintie. West Virginia Deaths Index
      also gives her name as Mintie May.
      Nowhere in records did I find a spelling "Mintia" (the spelling on tombstone)..
