let's all post our info! JOHN A. MINNERLY
Seems to me there is very little activity at this site; how about we all post something and get the ball rolling!I know of at least one person out there very well versed on the Minnerly clan (yes, Thomas, that means you).
Here is an obituary from the Tarrytown Daily News, April 13, 1931.
Headline:
J.A. Minnerly, 80, Dies After Long Illness,
Resident Here All His Life; Well Known As Carpenter.
John A Minnerly, eighty years old, the oldest builder in North Tarrytown, died last night at 11:15 o'clock at the Grasslands Hospital where he was removed a week ago in a final effort to save his life.
Born in the Sleepy Hollow section of North Tarrytown, where North Tarrytown's oldest families descended from the early settlers of this section lived, he was a son of the late Abraham Minnerly and Mary Van Tassell Minnerly.
As a young man he learned the carpenter trade and was engaged in that work up to a few years ago when advancing age forced him to retire from active work.He worked on many of the big mansions in this section and on public buildings.
Funeral services will be held at the bennett Mortuary where the body is now reposing, on wednesday afternoon at 2 o'clock. The Rev. Ernest E. Edmond pastor of the Beekman M.P. Church officiating and burial will be in Sleepy Hollow Cemetery.

Minnerly having died more than a year ago, is survivied by four daughters and one son.They are, Mrs Richard Allan of North Tarrytown, Mrs Alfred Blouin of White Plains,Edward Minnerly of North Tarrytown, Mrs. Thomas Joyce of North Tarrytown and Mrs Edward Ackerly of Tarrytown.One sister, Mrs George Babcock of north Tarrytown, and a brother Edward Minnerly of Ridgefield Conn. also survive.
