Nationality & Locations

Byhalia, DeSoto, Mississippi, USA, when he was born in 1881; however, by 1900, he was in Wattensas, Prairie, Arkansas, USA. Exactly when his family went to Arkansas is not known, but he could not have spent too many years in Mississippi growing up since he was about nine to ten years old in 1900.
Early Life & Education

I do not believe he finished high school, and I know he did not attend college. He was a farmer.
Religious Beliefs

He belonged to the Church of Christ.
Military Service

He did not serve in the military.
Professional Career

John Robert Mince was a farmer and owned land in DeValls Bluff, Prairie County, AR, which was often referred to as the "Hall Farm."
Personal Life & Family

By the time I knew him, I was a little girl, and he was my step-grandfather, having married my father's mother as a second husband. Consequently, all I recall his doing was sitting in a chair as a retired elderly man. I do recall his calling my grandmother saying, "Whoa, Pearl" and requesting things of her. She even cut his whiskers daily with a straight razor, usually on their front, screened-in porch, after she was up in age and was quite shaky with a tremor caused by thyroid disease. It's a wonder she did not cut his throat with that straight razor. It always made me too nervous to watch!
