Minta Belle STOKES

1898 - 1984  (85 years)

• Name	Minta Belle STOKES  [2]
  	Minta was a nurse who owned and operated Korthaus Convalescent Center in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma for many years. The first on was at 1718 N. broadway later moving to NW 23rd ST. I remember going there frequently as a child; sitting there watching everything. I would tell my mother that I was going to be a nurse when I grew up, which I did. She was a kind and loving sole who was always taking care of others. I was told she had been married 11 times. When I was young I thought that is why everyone called her grandma Courthouse (Korthaus). [1]
