Individual Details

The 1870 census Minnie's birth place is given as Missouri - and again in 1930.

Minnie was still living when her brother James died in 1933. She was listed in his obituary as Mrs. Minnie Thayer, and was living with James at the time. She was in 1930, age 63, a widow, married at age 30.

Washington Death Certificates at MyHeritage.com
Minnie Thayer, age 80 years, 3 months, 17 days, died 29 March, 1946 in Sedro Wooley, Skagit Co, WA. Her husband was Jack Thayer; parents were William & Elizabeth Harmon. She was buried April 1, 1946.
Although I have not seen her husband as "Jack", this seems to be a close match given the parents' names. Calculates to 12 Feb 1866 for her date of birth.

The discovery of this death certificate certifies the identification of Minnie. I also found a marriage record in Spokane Co, Washington, 25 June 1900 for a J. (Jack?) Harvey Thayer, age 50, b. Illinois to Minnie J. Harmon, 36, b. IN. His parents were Eli Thayer & Esther Borelle; hers were William Harmon & Elizabeth Muller (Miller?). The age would suggest she was born in 1864.
