Nora was a
Leatherberry sister of
Marie,
Charles,
Embert and
Everett. She
was the nurse of
my mother in the time of sickness leading to death.
Nice woman. Mother of Charles Miller,
George,
Ethel and the
one in Cleveland that I can't recall her name.
Pearl was my Sunday School teacher when I was a little boy.
Poor teacher in a class but excellent teacher in his life. Pearl
never saw anyone he didn't want to help. He would leave his
own farm work go to assist another.
Charles, one of his children who is now deceased and buried in
Sunset Hills in Canton, was one of my ball playing friends and he
caught some of the traits of his father as I have always said, if I
were caught out on a muddy, hilly road 30 miles from nowhere at
12:00 P.M. at night stuck in the mud and needed help to get out, I
would call Charles before anybody else as I knew he would come,
without complaint, without a sermon on the imbecility of any fellow
that would be out on such a road at such a time. Charles, upon
arrival, would be down on his back in the mud and grime fastening a
tow line on my poor, tired old vehicle to get me out. And he
got that trait of character from my old Sunday School teacher, his
father.
I have nice memories of Pearl and Nora. I worked on the farm
for them, cut corn, hauled in wheat and oats, made hay. They
were nice people.
