AI-assisted historical reconstruction based on HIM-2026-012. Minnie Lee Hollingsworth, reconstructed from the family portrait identified as Rochester, Texas, 1911. The setting, color and reconstructed details are interpretive; the preserved 1911 family photograph remains the source record.
01
Minnie in 1911
Minnie Lee Hollingsworth is the older child in the Rochester portrait with Edd, Della Mae and her younger brother Edgar. The family identifies and dates the picture to 1911.
Born in 1908, Minnie appears near the beginning of a life that would extend until 1984. The portrait keeps her childhood alongside the parents and brother whose later lives form another part of the archive.

The Conner name
Minnie later married Vernon Maurice Conner. That name carries her into the adult family record beyond the small girl in the studio picture.
Her place in this album also preserves a sibling relationship: Edgar’s childhood had a sister in it, and the family photograph kept them together.
