FAMILY HISTORY BY JOYCE NAIL PEIL, daughter: My mother, Viola, was born May 8,
1864, I assume somehere near Albany. She always referred to her birth place as
"up in the Willamette Valley". There were 2 half brother, George and Abe
Miller, then 2 brothers, Jame William and Albert, plus 1 sister Anna Rebecca
who were older.  3 brothers, Elias, Jim and Levi were younger.
    I never saw a picture of Mamma when she was a little girl but she must have
been a very pretty child. She had big brown eyes and dark hair that was very
curly. He haid was black when she was grown. She must have been around 4 years
old when the family moved onthe the homestead in the valley of the creek that
bears the name Wood's after the family.  It runs in my mind that the homestead
was taken in 1868.
     In addition to the 9 children, there were 2 foster girls, Belle Bradly, who
was the same age as Rebecca, and Annie Bradley, who was Viola's age. Oddly,
Belle and Viola were inseperable playmates, while Annie and Rebecca paired off.
     My mother told me of many interesting incidents that occurred during her
growing up years. One that comes to mind is the time she and Belle were sent
across the creek about a 1/4 mile from the house to get a cow that had a new
calf.  When they found the cow, they saw what they thought was a big dog
walking along on a log looking at the calf.  Mamma said it looked at them and
had such a pleasant look on it's face that they never thought of being afraid
of it.  They yelled and wavied their hands and it leaped off the log and slid
into the brush.  When they told the folks, an older brother took the dog and
gun then treed and killed a panther that had been sniffing around wher the calf
had been.  Mamma said she was 5 or so at the time.
