Uncle Joe is in the Stereo Cabinet...Edgar Buchanan
Kate is in the Stereo Cabinet...Bea Benaderette (also the original voice
of Betty Rubble)
Billie Jo, Bobby Jo, and Betty Jo are all alive to my knowledge...Linda
Kaye Henning, Lori Sanders, and Meredith McCrae.
Mr. Drucker is in the Stereo Cabinet...I think..not sure on that
one...Frank Caddy

The dog was actually the dog they used for the movie "Benji" so I'm sure
he's in the Stereo Cabinet too...

Steve...Mike Minor was married to Linda Kaye Henning in real life, but I
think they divorced in the 70's or early 80's. He did a stint on All My
Children or some other soap opera in the early 80's.

Hope that helps...

The two older characters (Bea Benaderet and the actor who played Uncle Joe) are
gone, but I think all the girls are still around. I went to a bridal shower at Gunilla
Hutton's house a few years ago, and I haven't heard that anything has happened
to her in the meantime.

The dog is dead. His name was 'Dog' which I always thought was strange.

BTW, the train is the same one used in the movie, 'Stand by Me'.

Interesting ... Mike Minor's entry in the Internet Movie Database only
lists the "Petticoat Junction" credit (as I recall). I'm really curious
about how he's aged.

And what about Jonathan Daly, who played game warden Orrin Pike (oops, I
almost typed Orrin Hatch) toward the end of the series. He did a few guest
shots on shows like "Bewitched" before joining the "Petticoat Junction"
cast, and then he seemed to have dropped out of sight just like co-star
Mike Minor. He was more attractive than Mike Minor; I'd like to see a
recent photo of him (unless he died or something).

The last thing he did was All My Children. For AMC fans: He played
Brandon Kingsley.

I am almost certain that ET or some show like that interviewed some of
the PJ women not long ago. Linda Kaye has shown up doing stunts, I
think, in a couple of Tarantino films. I remember that from the IMDB.
Weird. Of course, June Lockhart keeps acting. Not sure what the
others, including Meredith Macrae, are up to professionally right now,
if anything.

Hey, just found, believe it or not, Petticoat Junction On Line and it
has a message forum. Here's the link:
