MR. MILLER: I don’t know. I think he was around 34 when I was born. So --
MS. YAGER: And where was he born?
MR. MILLER: I think he was born on a farm near Curryville in Blair County, Pennsylvania. And my mother?
MS. YAGER: And your mother, yes.
MR. MILLER: She was Mary Hershberger and she was from Everett, Pennsylvania which is near Bedford, Pennsylvania. And she died in 1919, just a little over year after I was born in the flu epidemic of that time. So I have no memory of her at all.
We had moved to Cleveland. My father had gotten a job teaching here and so she died here in Cleveland at that time. But she had been an artist. She had done watercolor paintings but she was the head librarian at the College of Juniata in Huntingdon, Pennsylvania. And she had gone to library school in Philadelphia and installed the first card catalogue at the university. And she was one of six sisters in the Herschberger family and three brothers. So it was a big family.
