Abstract

Miller tells of her family's move, when she was 14 years old, to the Gilbert area to farm. She describes her schooling, some of the area's fairs and parades, going to the movies, and other things they did for entertainment. She talks about medicine, home remedies, and how her entire family was ill during the flu epidemic of 1918. She recalls that Mesa's streets began to be paved around 1918 and that her father's first car was a ?Grant.? Miller talks about her daily home life and then marrying Joseph Edmund Miller when she was 18 years old. She discusses some of her civic activities, her activities in the Mormon Church, and tells about her husband being the City Manager of Mesa.
