     Wilhelmina Laura Becker was buried at Gull Lake Cemetery, Gull Lake, RM of Gull Lake No. 139, Saskatchewan, Canada.9,1
     Her name was transcribed as Wilamina Jones.9 Her name was also recorded as Wilhamina Becker.4

     Minnie Becker appeared in the 1911 Canadian Census of Hagarty Twp., Renfrew County, Ontario in the household of her parents, William and Tena Becker.3
     Henry W and Minnie Jones appeared on the 1916 Census of Canadian Prairie Provinces, Gull Lake, RM of Gull Lake No. 139, Saskatchewan, enumerated 1 June 1916, described as a farmer. Their son Wilfred was listed as living with them.5
     Minnie appeared in the 1921 Canadian Census of RM of Gull Lake No. 139, Saskatchewan, in the household of Stephen Jones.6

The following biographical fact was included at the book From Prairie Trails to Pavement published in Gull Lake, Saskatchewan, 1982:
Minnie came west with her father in 1911 to housekeep for her brother August who lived in the Hazlet district. Before getting married she worked as a cook in Gull Lake's first hospital and also worked for George Tiffin in the restaurant.8


The following biographical fact was included at the book Hazlet and Its Heritage, vol. II published in Hazlet, Saskatchewan, 1987:
In 1910 August decided to go west and homesteaded on, and then worked the pre-emption of E1/2 2-17-19.

In 1911, his sister, Minnie was brought out to keep house for August.11

     Research notes (30 July 2011):
Aurena may be the same child as Wilhelmina. Aurena was listed in the 1901 census, but Wilhelmina was not. Conversely, Minnie was listed in the 1911 census, but Aurena was not. They were young enough that they both should have been enumerated with the family, if they were siblings.12

     In the obituary of Charles Stephon Jones who died 11 December 2013, his mother, Wilhemena Jones, was listed as predeceased.13
