Minnie Leier

Unfortunately (or fortunately), the only photo of Minnie, who was born in the Gravesend section of Flatbush on January 24, 1895, the daughter of Lawrence and Amelia (Nowasky) Leier. On February 22, 1919, in a ceremony held at her mother's home at 941 Newkirk Avenue, Minnie married Otto Fretz, a cook with the U.S. Navy. Sadly, Minnie contracted tuberculosis a few months later and died at her mother's home on September 12, 1919. She was only 24 years old. She is buried at Evergreens Cemetery with her brother Charles.
