Divorced 5/98 :-) This story was written by Randa Gay Talley:
I just wanted to share the story from Granny, Mae Maxine Peters, on a visit as I passed through town once, going to an interview for an airline. She told me of when Mama Alice [Mary Alice Phelps Peters] told her she wasn't 'really' her mother. Granny was still little...about 9 then. She told her Olga [Ova Olga Peters] was really her mother and Granny said she ran out of the house refusing to believe it... having been so shaken by it, they never mentioned it again! at all...for her entire life, until Granny decided to share it to her grown grandchildren...but I think only Mama's (Joyce Nell Amacker Talley) kids were told.
She also told me that Mama Alice forbade contact with Bilbo? (Who we are pretty sure is the scoundrel)... but she found a whole stack of cards hidden under the seat of a car someone had in the family. It was letters and postcards and all the postcards had a clock on them...that must've been a secret message between them. Mama Alice burned them all. What I wouldn't do to have those cards!! ..But as a Mother, the pain she was put through by her child, I am sure I would have done the very same and not thought one second about historical anything! This story makes for a very good part in a book I hope to write one day :)
Granny also told me once they (or either this was Olga & her siblings’ story, I've since forgotten this major detail, sadly)...but were left at home while the adults went into town on horse & buggy. A sweet lady came to babysit them. As this kind stranger took care of them for the best part of the day, the parents returned. As they came to the house, the lady was seen to be looking toward heaven and simply vanished & they could not find her. Sweet story and granny told it with precise, sincere truth in her voice...as matter of fact and nothing less.
Granny told me that as Olga was a teenager, she became quite a Preacher at some of the tent meetings and brush arbor gatherings. I about fell off my chair to learn that, but it was something that I could tell made Granny very proud, but felt she'd definitely walked away from a tremendous call on her life as a minister. If I'd not heard Granny tell me this, I'd not believe it. "Aunt" Olga was very different than Granny, in regard to being a devoted & vocal Christian. I hear myself sometimes mimic Granny as she ends things she was doing with a reverential "Jesus, Jesus".
Granny had severe osteoporosis in her aging years, but the women of Poplarville must've known who my grandmother was, as a lady of God. Granny told me she'd met one of the ladies from the Baptist Church while working at the hospital as a nurse’s aide. This lady was in charge of the women's bible study. She asked Granny to come speak after having spoken with Granny to realize she held deep faith in God. I was very surprised to hear Granny would do this! She told me how she shared with them how God healed her and they all cried as she told her story...how God healed her of pain in her legs that hurt so badly & she had heard the Lord tell her to open His Word, lay it on her legs and she'd be healed. Granny said it was a total miraculous deliverance from pain. As Granny ended up in a nursing home in the end, the doctors x-rayed her legs and marveled at how it could even be possible for her to have walked, the bones were so porous.
She left us a very rich legacy of faith & we are very thankful to have come from such a spiritual legacy!!
