Our family comes through Lucretia Anna Wightman, the young lady on the left. She married William Allen Miles. They had seven daughters. I remember that Grandma loved hats. I think her sisters did as well. Grandma was right in the middle of the family. I love the old picture of her in the stroller. Bill made these copies and sent them to all of us. The girls went by Aunt Donna, Aunt Matt, Aunt Rine (pronounced Reen), Leone, Aunt Cre, Aunt Bill, and Aunt Ruby. Most people in Idaho Falls knew Grandma as Mary L., but her sisters called her Leone or Leona. A side note, when William Allen Miles, it may have been Lucretia as well, had daughter number six, they called Mildred 'Bill,' because they wanted a son.
