Mother was orphaned at 10 years of age when her father Orbin was killed in Mounds City. Her mother had died when she was only five. Mother told me of she loved seeing the River boats in Mounds City as a child. When she went to live with her Grandma Lela, she had to work hard at her Grandma's boarding house. Her Granny was poor so to earn some money she worked also for her Aunt Mamie for the privilege of going into the Hinkleville store in Kentucky to buy goods to make dresses. The one time mother's picture was found with her classmates she had on her brother's clothes. She met my dad at a square dance and they were married June 25, 1938. Mother and Dad moved to Peoria, IL in 1941. Grandpa Miller lived with Mom and Dad when his last son at home went to war. When Charlie Miller came back from the war he too lived with mom and dad for a while.
She loved to embroidery, make quilts, and crochet. She loved flowers and liked gardening. She was a great cook. She loved her kids and was the mother of five Children.
Everett Eugene, Charles Edward, Betty Sue, Phyllis June, and Dennis Clifton.
Mom and Dad moved several times and settled near Maquon, IL in 1964 in their new home. They lived there til their deaths.
Mom would have really enjoyed learning about her ancestors. Since she was orphaned she didn't know much abut her mother's family. She would have been pleased to know that she was descended from a Reveolutionary Soldier, a Soldier from the War of 1812 and her Great Grandfather was in the Union Infantry during the Civil War.
