Mary Ann Donogh was known as Minnie. She worked as a milliner - her first job was at Eatons in Toronto. She also worked for 2 years for her Uncle Jack and Aunt Kizzie (Thomas Jackson and Kezia Andrews Donogh) at their store in Berkeley, California.

In 1916, she married Bert Hinchcliff, who was born in Toronto in 1889, son of Mark Hinchcliff and Fannie Charlton. Bert and Minnie farmed at Ruthilda, Saskatchewan for 38 years.

Bert was a great horticulturist, and the farm was a delightful oasis in the prairie landscape, especially in the spring. He had about 5 acres of orchard, lawns and flowers and shrubs. He propagated two new varieties of plum/cherry hybrids which were prairie hardy. In the late 30's and 40's Minnie used to sell fruit locally.
