Amish to Kiln - Research notes
June 24, 2013 - Tried to call Judy Pippins on Thursday, left messages. Called her work, no answer - alittle worried about information I still need to get. Text?d her twice.
3:00PM (on the way to take campers to Meridian) Judy answered with a text. She and her husband are leaving on June 28 until July 13, to go to a daughter in Springfield, MO. She regrets that they will not be home. Could I call her back tonight at 6PM? Of course I can.
6:00PM - Directions to Picayune, take 1-59 and get off at Exit 4. Turn left, onto Hwy 43 (going south). We are still in Pearl River County but will soon get into Hancock County.
Directions to David J. Miller place - Go about 13 to 15 miles south of Picayune, on Hwy 43, and then look for the High Tide (restaurant closed) and it has a big boat on the left side of 43. Cross the bridge and there is another business on the left side (maybe a tavern or store).
(E-5 on the map I have.) Look for the Coevas Town Road on the left side. Turn on to that road, look for the white house on the right hand side. This is where David J. Miller?s lived. Their house was damaged in a tornado and yvhat was left was moved away. The house there is the Hochstetler?s old house. The owners now are: ?Sonny? and Mary Louise Moran. They live there but*had a recent tragedy (?) so Judy wants to contact them to tell them we are coming to loo^around. So they won?t be worried. Their phone number is _________________________________, she will text it to me.
Judy put her 95 year old mother, Arellia (Coevas) on the speaker phone to talk with me. She told me that she was alittle older than Celeste but they were very good friends. Celeste was crippled and could not walk. Arellia?s father had made a home-made walker for her Uncle who had a disability to walk at that time. He had learned to walk on this walker. So the Coevas? gave that wooden walker to the Hochstetlers and they adjusted it so that 4 year old Celeste could learn to walk (again). And she learned to walk soon.
Arellia says that the Millers were big produce raisers. They had strawberrys, vegetables, milked cows, made butter and had a packing shed to sell things. She remembers they raised Samazuma (oranges). Across, the branch (creek) from Arellia?s place, lived another Amish family, the Yoders. She went there to play many times. They got along very well with each other (as families).
(I think) Judy told me that Arellia?s younger brother, James Coevas, lives on this same road, the 3rd house down, on their family?s old place. He is glad to talk with us and Judy will get me his phone number:__________________________________________He is around 90?s yrs old.
