MRS. PEYTON ANDERSON

William Henry Miller and granddaughter of Jessie Miller. The house no longer stand 8, but it was near “Poplar Shade," the borne of her grandfather.

When very young, the little girl moved to “Poplar Shade," for she has told of a .party she attended there when she was about seven years old. One of the , games, involved the drawing of tUunes from a hat. If the boy drew a young lady’s name, he must five her a pair of gloves; .if the girl drew the name of a young mas, she • smut knit him a pair of socks. Little Louemiha Miller drew the name of Peyton Anderson. He was 12 yefcrs older than the little lady, but her mother came to the rescue and knit for Mr. Anderson a pair of baby’s socks. Mrs. Anderson states that one of the first things she located (19 years later) as a bride in Mr. Anderson’s home was that pair of socks, put away in a bureau drawer.

Little Louemma Miller!? schooldays began with a 2 M:-mile walk to gttend Mr. Tom Holtzman’s private school. At the tender age of five years, the little girl was cared for by the older scholars and she reported that Bob Eastham would carry her over the streams.

The schoolmaster, Mr. Holtz' man, was a strict gentleman of the olden day and his high-temper kept the pupils on their toes. His sons, Broadus and John Holtzman, used to warn the pupils of the impending*day by designating the state of Mr. H°Rzman’s temper, with such as: "You’d better .watch out today; the calf got away from him this morning and he’s in. a bad mood.”

The schoolmaster believed in segregation of the sexes, and the boys and girls were nrt allowed to play on the same side of the school yard—boys on one side, girls on the other. Little Robert Lee Miller one day af school decided it might be fun to snowball the girls. * When Mr. Holtzman caught him, he thought he was sure in for a licking, but the schoolmaster’s mood was lenient that day and he escaped.
