From the Rock Valley Bee, June 9, 1933:

Word was received Tuesday morning that Dr. Minard Renshaw, son of F. L. Renshaw of Wenatchee, Washington, had passed away, following an operation in Seattle, Washington. Minard was twenty-nine years of age and had just finished his interne work in Columbus hospital, Seattle, preparatory to the practice of medicine and was a registered M.D. in that state, but did not live to realize his fondest ambition.
