(from Warwick Tweedsmuir)
Ralph Miner married Maxine Mabel (Graham, 1932–) in 1950. Maxine was born on the home farm of her parents Harold (Harry) Graham and Ruby Delphne (Zavitz) Graham, half a mile west of the hamlet of Birnam. Their other children were Russell, Lottie, and Murray.
Maxine attended SS#4 Warwick.
Ralph and Maxine worked together on their 250 acre farm until 1958, when they purchased a 300 acre farm. Over the years they raised pigs, laying hens and cattle. Their two sons, Bruce (1952–) and James (1955–), helped expand the family business into custom work and the rental of more land for cash crops.
Maxine joined the Warwick Women’s Institute in 1957, taking an active part in the organization and holding most of the offices over the years. After her husband passed away, Maxine kept very busy with her grandchildren and involvement in various organizations. She is a talented writer and her written work can be found in various publications.
