Minnie Beatrice Green was the daughter of John Wheeler Green b. 8 Jan 1842 Cedar Co MO and his wife Sarah Elizabeth Lewis b. 20 May 1849 Park Twp Scott Co AR. In the 1880 census this family lived in Santa Barbara Co. CA. Minnie was a school teacher in early Cuyama Valley. She married 13 Aug 1899 in San Luis Obispo at the home of her parents, Charles Franklin Heath b. 15 June 1872 Cross Timbers, Hickory Co MO, the son of Callaway Green Heath and his wife Milly Ann Holloway who first lived in Benton Co MO and later moved to early California settling in the Cuyama Valley.

In February of 1937 the widow Minnie Beatrice Green Heath wrote an article for ‘The Grizzly Bear' titled: Nancy Kelsey: The First Woman to Cross the Plains." This article reprints the deathbed narrative of a pioneer Nancy Kelsey and was originally published in the San Francisco Examiner just after Nancy Kelsey's death in 1896. It is also contained and reprinted in the California Historical Quarterly published by the California Historical Society in 1968. Minnie Heath it was said ‘a young woman who had come to teach school in Cuyama, took to walking over the hill to talk to her neighbor Nancy Kelsey, three or four times a week, and to hear the old ladies stories of pioneer times. Nancy told good stories and Minnie Heath was enthralled."
