- Phoebe DICKERSON CUMMINS was the author's grandmother
- "[Jeptha CUMMINS] married Phebe H. Dickerson on March 22, 1852."
- "Eight children were born to them as issue of this marriage. They were in order of birth": Myra Ethelyn; Byron Edgar; Carey Eugene; Ideline M.; Frank Elmer; Adelia A.; Alva M.; Clara Belle
- "I do not have much of a personal impression of my grandmother, Phebe H. DICKERSON CUMMINS. I remember her as having very pretty auburn hair. She was very fond of my brother Carl. She was a very hard working woman. When her family and friends suggested taking it easier she always said, 'She would rather wear out than rust out'. That saying was repeated many times by my hard working mother. The drive of my grandparents very definitely influenced the lives of my parents and our generation."
- "Grandmother moved with her family to Lapeer County, Michigan in childhood. She joined the Methodist church of Almont. After her marriage to grandfather they moved to Perry in 1855 where she joined te Baptist church. They lived at Perry until 1881 when they went to Dakota Territory. Grandmother never liked Dakota but said if it was good enough to live in, it was good enough to be buried in. Upon her death and in keeping with her wish she was buried at Groton, South Dakota."
