Mina "Minnie" Christina Skanchy was the only daughter of Anthon Lorenzo Skanchy and Caroline Flygare, his second wife.
Basic Sketch of her Life:
Mina was born on December 1st, 1877 in Logan, Utah. She grew up with her brothers, Lorenzo and Willard, and all of the other half-brothers in the house on South Main Street. Her and her brothers got along very well, and Minnie was well liked by much of the Logan community where she lived her entire life. She remained with the her parent's at their home until she was around 24. Around that time she had met and started courting Charles Larsen, a Swedish immigrant who was living in Fort. Bridger. They were soon receiving their marriage licenses to be married on April 16th, 1903:
