| "Grandfather George Waller fought for 4 years and 4 months in the Civil War. He farmed all of his life. He was a country veterinary. He belonged to the Baptist church. They always quit work on Saturday noon. Their afternoon job was to take the horses to the river for a swim and bath and then they were put out until Monday morning. Then they had to chop and haul wood for Sunday, so they didn't have to work on Sunday. If one of the neighbor boys were to visit on Sunday and Dad or any of his brothers slipped off for a swim, the next Sunday they were allowed only to go to church and then come home. No recreation whatsoever if they had been disobedient. They lived in a log house 20 by 20 and a kitchen built onto the side. Made of lumber. It was a two story. Grandfather Waller was a wonderful family man. Dad tells of sitting on his lap and being told stories and Granddad bringing home sacks of candy to them. Grandfather Reed (Sarah Ann Reed's father) was from Missouri. He was on a visit to Missouri because he and his family now lived in Tennessee when he and his father were on horseback fording the Koskanade River and were both drowned. Sarah and her sister Martha were raised by their mother's parents in Philadelphia, Tennessee. Martha later married Jonas Green and they moved to Texas and had 9 or 10 children. Great-Grandfather Reed owned nearly an entire county in Missouri between the Osage and Kaskonade River." provided by Nora Waller Smith as told by her father, Samuel Carr Waller. |
